t was hard to say who was most surprised by Martin Skoula's overtime goal Sunday night at the Xcel Energy Center. It could have been any of the 18,568 in the crowd, and it could have been Skoula himself.
Certainly his delayed celebration betrayed some doubt.
"I was kind of waiting for the whistle, but nobody blew the whistle," Skoula said, "so I kept looking at the net."
There he saw the puck bouncing slowly to the back, proof it had, indeed, negotiated the small opening between Erik Ersberg's leg pads and become the game-winner in Minnesota's 2-1 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
