He made one shot, at the beginning of the third period. I stand corrected.
If you think that means Daton was aggressive enough to be the winner, we disagree.
I’ll bet if we ask Daton, he’ll say he didn’t do enough. One double leg attemp, and one head steal in the 2nd OT won’t get it done. Yes, Suriano didn’t do much more than push. Yes, the refs made several horrible calls. But Daton backed up and wrestled on the edge of the mat the entire time.
Regardless of any of that. He did enough to win. Why are you dying on this hill?
