A little history.
“The Washington Capitals played a legendary multiple-overtime game after midnight during the 1987 Stanley Cup playoffs. This game, known as the “Easter Epic,” was Game 7 against the New York Islanders, played on April 18–19, 1987. The game began on Saturday evening and ended at 1:58 a.m. on Easter Sunday after four overtime periods, making it the longest Game 7 in NHL history“
Was at that game. A Caps season ticket holder back then.
How many OTs tonight??
