Midnight hockey, anyone?

Canucks/Stars, 4th overtime!

If you're not watching, you're missing out.

Norstrom is gonna to be aching tomorrow

I really like gokim's comment on the Playoffs board: "You know it's rarified air when Norstrom starts taking shots to win the game." Haha

Edit: Game over. If you didn't watch, it ended at 12:32am with less than 2 minutes to go in the 4th OT. The Sedins connected for a pretty goal, amazingly (not a garbage goal like many playoff OT games).

I'm watching it too.

I bet Dallas is really loving that Norstrom trade right about now. Just a great shut down d-man.

I really wish that the Kings were playing in this game.

I give it about 5 more minutes before it's over.

Seriously. He's been great tonight.

He must have just needed a change of scenery, like every other Kings castoff in recent years

I've been keeping the play-by-play running in the background, but NHL.com is all screwy right now.

Id love to be apart of a game like this, but damn my wallet would be getting thin. I would be on my 5th or 6th chilli dog, at least my 3rd or 4th beverage, not counting my girlfriend's beers. Ouch...

Sedins just ended it

It's 9:30 in the morning here in Italy...I checked the scores as every morning and when I saw Vancouver's game boxscore I thought W-T-F-?

Sedin just scores!

The thoughtful Sedins had to wait for Albi to wake up so that they could score.

I've always wondered about that. Do concessions(beer) re-open after the third? I don't think so.

Wow, less then a minute after the game Wikipedia has already been updated with this game. Very impressive that Wiki was keeping close tabs on a midnight hockey game.

I'd be starving and dying of thirst, as I only bring enough money for one meal before the game, gas, and one trip to the concessions during the 2nd intermission. You know, just in case someone decides to pull a fast one downtown and steal my wallet.

Wikipedia is edited by normal users like you and me. Some fan was updating it as the game was going on, moving the game up the list every 10 minutes or so. It ended up being the 6th-longest game ever. The 5th longest was just a minute and a half longer.

I could be wrong, but when I checked wikipedia it wasn't updating the game as it creeped up the all-time list.

I'm sure that the guy missed a few spots, but he updated it multiple times. The first time that I checked, it was in the list at 10th.

fair enough.

Time for sleep. Go to bed Os, nothing worse then a grumpy Osprey in the morning

Meh, every Kings home game ends after midnight here.

It was 2:30 am in Dallas when the Stars finally lost.

Malice430 · 04-12-2007, 12:50 PM

anyone else notice how loopy the verses guys were by the end of the 2nd overtime since it was around 2 am over there?

Sniper7 · 04-12-2007, 01:00 PM

That was such a great game, I love multiple OT play off games!
