35 years of watching hockey and I've never seen anything like this one - at any level.<br><br>Semi-finals in the Maroon Region PW B<br><br>Blaine vs Maple Grove<br><br>Blaine ties the game 2-2 with about 4 minutes left in the game. With time running out, MG dumps the puck in the Blaine zone. Blaine's defensemen (big kid) takes the puck from the goal line, takes a couple strides and fires a slapper with a few seconds remaining. The pucks travels the length of the ice about knee high and takes a short hop right in front of the MG goalie. The puck climbs over the goailies stick and finds a hole in the pads and dribbles in with a fraction of a second left. GAME OVER. Blaine wins 3-2. <br><br>MG loses later that day. Season over. Blaine goes on to beat Eden Prarie to take the championship. <br> <p></p><i></i>
