HALIFAX - The first overtime of the 2013 playoffs for Halifax ended on a high note when number 91 scored the game winner that sent over 10000 fans home hooting and hollering. After being the first team to score, the Mooseheads found themselves trailing 2-1 less than 10 minutes into the game in a period that saw six goals. The boys were able to tie it up before Rouyn-Noranda made it 4-2 at the end of the first twenty. The second period wasn't very interesting as neither team was able to get passed the goalies who made some pretty good saves all game. In the third period, fans were starting to get nervous but as always the home team did not disappoint as they scored two goals to force overtime. The Halifax Metro Centre was the noisiest I have ever heard it after Andrew Ryan scored the tying goal with everyone out of their seats cheering excitedly. It was a bit louder after the goal in extra time went in.
