"It's a small increase in the blood pressure, obviously, but it is significant," says co-author Dr. Lars Jarup, who specializes in environmental and occupational medicine...
...stayed in front of the net for too long.“He’s been doing that all year from us,” Taylor said. “Every game he’s good for one or two really good saves that give us some jump and I think that definitely had something to do with it today.” The Eagles opened overtime by testing Richter and the Crimson defense and nearly ended the game several times.
