How cool is it for a hockey play when one of their teammates scores in overtime to wrap up a series? Here’s how it looked through the eyes of Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh when Carl Hagelin scored at 10:52 of overtime beating Marc-Andre Fleury with a wrist shot short side to eliminate the Penguins 2-1 at a rocking MSG.

That level of excitement is what makes the NHL Playoffs so great for players, coaches and fans. There’s nothing quite like playoff overtime. Where anything can happen. The Rangers hadn’t won two consecutive OT games in the postseason since 1971. The magic score was 2-1 in Games 4 and 5 with Kevin Hayes and Hagelin playing the heroes.

My favorite part of this video is seeing McDonagh shake hands with the Pens including Fleury and Sidney Crosby and hearing the Pens captain say, “Great series. Good luck.”

When it’s over, the camera takes us inside the Rangers locker room where Hagelin is presented the Broadway Hat for his heroics. At the tail end as he fills the fourth piece out of 16 to the Stanley Cup, we overhear a teammate call him, “Carlos.” So, now fans are referring to him as Carlos.

Pretty cool for the most under appreciated Ranger. With two goals in the first round, that gives Hagelin 12 since the 2013 playoffs. The most for any Blueshirt. He went ahead of Derick Brassard and Derek Stepan, who each are tied with 11.

”The guy is at his best in games like that,” teammate J.T. Miller said. Who could disagree? At age 26, the hard working Swede has been a constant during their success. Not bad for a guy taken 168th overall in the sixth round in 2007. Four years at Michigan and some fine tuning in Hartford prepared him well.

”It’s unbelievable,” Hagelin said. ”One of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced on the ice. An unbelievable feeling.”

Well deserved Hags.
