It looked and sounded like it was all over. <br /><br />This last goal is hilarious because, like you said, the crowd has no idea what to do and neither do the players.<br /><br />It would have been great to see Potvin fight Lefebvre. One killed Hextall and the other one-punched Brown which gave us a beloved blog about 13 years later.
