First Period:
Oh good Blackhawks employee Eddie Olczyk is a part of the national broadcast.
— Kid Ish (@kid_ish) May 22, 2015
Bitch won't come to Anaheim, but hell go to Chicago
— Playoff Ashley (@abarton112) May 22, 2015
Pretty tepid response when PA man announces Ryan Kesler as a starter for the Ducks. Where's the hate, Chicago?
— Elliott Teaford (@ElliottTeaford) May 22, 2015
I'M GOING TO DIE.

Perry started off hot:
Epic diving play by Perry. #Ducks

— georgie_con (@thegcducksfan) May 22, 2015
Penalty against Hossa for holding. 4-on-4.
— Liz Alper (@lizalper23) May 22, 2015
The Ducks opened the scoring (YAY!) ...
1-0 Ducks, Lindholm shot got through...

Second Period:
Ducks, so good they outshoot themselves:
Ducks pretty good start to the second out-shooting Ducks 8-1 and we're less than four minutes in.
— Scott Burnside (@ESPN_Burnside) May 22, 2015
Andersen was just as good:
HOLY.

FREDDIE YOU GINGER GOD YOU
— GWNC (@GarrettOnParade) May 22, 2015
Jonathan Toews suddenly all alone. Can't beat Freddie Andersen, though. Puck hopped away from Francois Beauchemin.

Etem nearly scored ...

Don't talk about Etem
— Playoff Ashley (@abarton112) May 22, 2015
Possible Tweet of the night for accuracy:
IF WIZ HAD THAT PASS HE WOULD HAVE BLASTED IT AT SOME MOTHERFUCKERS SHINS BUT NO STONER GOT IT AND JUST CYCLED IT BECAUSE HE'S TOUGH
— GWNC (@GarrettOnParade) May 22, 2015
Someone messed with the magumbo (poor life decisions) ...

KNEEL BEFORE FREDDIE, SAAD
— Kid Ish (@kid_ish) May 22, 2015
A great look by Keith to Saad but that's answered by a flashy glove save from Andersen.
— Eric Stephens (@icemancometh) May 22, 2015
Then Perry wanted to things too ...
HE GRABBED A STICK FROM THE BENCH ON THE RUUUUUSH
— Kid Ish (@kid_ish) May 22, 2015
Perry getting that stick on the fly was bananas.

Third Period:
Time for the foot on the throat meme right about now.
— Dark Knight (@ShadowOftheBat) May 22, 2015
Word:
Ryan Getzlaf has 5 more assists than any other participant in the 2015 playoffs. He's played 4 less games than TB, 3 less than NYR.
— Cörey Masisak (@cmasisak22) May 22, 2015
Shaw did more soccer things:
THAT DIDNT EVEN HIT HIM

— Kyle M (@KyleWIIM) May 22, 2015
Andrew Shaw. Dirt bag, gigantic dirt bag, or the biggest dirt bag?
— Eric (@EricTheHawk) May 22, 2015
Fowler was amazing in the final period ...
FOWLER IS THE DUCKS NUMBER ONE D MAN AND NUMBER ONE KILLER ON THE ICE
— GWNC (@GarrettOnParade) May 22, 2015
FOWLER! Beast mode!
— Dark Knight (@ShadowOftheBat) May 22, 2015
Chicago pulled Crawford and the scramble was on:
Ryan Getzlaf misses empty net. Icing with 1:32 left.
— Elliott Teaford (@ElliottTeaford) May 22, 2015
JFC, why can't they ever hit the EN?
— Denise ☕️ (@whathappnd) May 22, 2015
Andersen made a few more glorious saves and the Ducks won (*red dancing girl emoji*)
ANDERSEN!!!
