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??

I think it ends in the second OT. Logic makes me want to say that Helly lets them down, but I think the Jets get another nice bounce/tip in to win. Seems the only way they can beat Binnington.

I'll say it ends in the 2nd OT.....if the OT doesn't end in the first 5-7 min,  it seems the chances of that period going scoreless goes up dramatically, I wonder if there is some data on those odds

Happy for Scott Arniel. Finally getting his chance to show what he can do as a head coach.

Cannot believe the Blues choked away a 3-1 lead with under 2 mins left in the 3rd period, including the thing goal with 3 seconds left to lose in double OT...brutal way to go out...

I turned it off to play assassin creed when it was 3-1, holy crap, I missed a good one

The Avalanche and Blues both choke away big leads late in Game 7 and the two teams I got wrong in my bracket. 😂

Monty don't do so well in game 7s 🙂

That was a good finish and this time the refs did put the whistles away which was good. I doubt Winnipeg gets past Dallas unless Hellybuck somehow becomes a playoff goalie which is more than unlikely. 

If Winnipeg were to win the cup though I want Hamilton or somebody to ask Kevyn how they did it when they don't have any palm trees.

I think the only positive to come from our playoff drought is the lack of stress that comes from playoff hockey. Just imagine being a Blues or Avs fan tonight after playing knockout, drag out games, having a a 2 goal lead and choking it. Not to say I wouldn’t mind a bit of playoff stress but I’d be in tears if I were a Blues fan. They just had their Bills equivalent to the 13 seconds game.

Yeah, what are the odds of scoring two empty net goals and not allowing one?  I wonder if that's ever happened in the playoffs? 

Before this season, a team erased a 2 goal deficit in Game 7 only three times in the NHL's 100+ year history.  And this year it happens twice on consecutive nights.  Crazy.
