Johan Garpenlov's overtime ringer

Johan Garpenlov's shot in game 6 overtime that hit the post. Moments later, the Leafs would tie the series 3-3 and then win Game 7 in Toronto to eliminate the surprising San Jose Sharks (who had just shocked the hockey world and sent a strong message with an upset of the Detroit Red Wings one series earlier). The Sharks finished the regular season with a 33-35-16, still a great improvement from the two seasons before (17-58-5 in 1991-92 and then 11-71-2 in 1992-1993, their first two years of existence)

Garpenlov's goal should GONE IN and they'd already be in Vancouver

This was San Jose's first playoff appearance in only their 3rd year of existence in the NHL,& I thought they made a good case for themselves after upsetting Detroit in the first round & came within a mere eyelash of upsetting the Leafs as well,like we seen here.
