An absolute, heart-wrenching emotional rollercoaster on the strip. Broadcasting live immediately following the double overtime final horn of Game 3, OG After Dark handles the chaotic fallout of a record-breaking night, as the Carolina Hurricanes' historic third-period rally falls just short in a devastating 5-4 2OT loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, resulting in a 2-1 series deficit.
Trailing 4-0 after a brutal second period that saw Mitch Marner score a natural hat trick, Rod Brind'Amour inserted Brandon Bussi into the crease to start the third. Bussi instantly altered the game by stopping a Marner penalty shot, setting the stage for an absolute miracle. The Canes blitzed Vegas for 3 goals in 39 seconds—officially the fastest three goals scored by one team in a Stanley Cup Final—via Jordan Martinook, Taylor Hall, and Jordan Staal. Carolina eventually tied it 4-4 to force overtime.
Ultimately, puck luck proved to be a cruel thing in the second extra frame. Jordan Martinook couldn't quite get his stick down on a defensive play, allowing a Shea Theodore shot to take an unfortunate bounce off Bussi's leg pad and into the back of the net to end an all-time classic.
