YOU GOT THAT CORRECT.
HOWEVER, THAT BELL MARKS THE END OF OUR SECOND LIGHTNING ROUND.
IT ALSO MARKS THE END OF A TIED MATCH.
NICE JOB, EVERYONE.
WOW, WELL, THIS REALLY DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN.
AT THIS PART OF THE SEASON, WHEN WE HAVE A TIE, AS WE DO TONIGHT, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE POINTS, SO WE END AT A TIE.
SO VERY COMPETITIVE GAME TONIGHT, AND WE WANT TO THANK BOTH TEAMS FOR REALLY A TERRIFIC, COMPETITIVE MATCHUP.
