[edit] Table data

What exactly do the times on the table listing longest overtime games mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.83.1.234 (talk • contribs)

Minutes and seconds. Flibirigit 22:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Just counting the overtime minutes not the 60 minutes that are a given Galuple 07:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


It would be more aesthetically pleasing if the first two coumns (numbers) were right justified and the remaining text was centred. If anyone knows how to code this it would improve the table. Justin.Blades 23:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stars vs. Canucks, April 11-12, 2007

Please don't update the chart until after the game has been done. All that will do is lead to many pointless edits on the page, and a very good possibility that the chart could be ruined in some way. So when the game finishes, then it can be added. Kaiser matias 07:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


Good idea. Galuple 07:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Someone has to take control of this, and with most of North America already asleep, I am here to prevent mass chaos from errupting on one of the little noticed pages we got. Kaiser matias 07:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

It's 3:15 AM here in NY, and I am still listening on NHL Game radio. I will not edit the chart, even though the game is about to pass the Easter Epic that my beloved Islanders won... EnjoysButter


Now the 6th longest...EnjoysButter 07:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

...And climbing. Go Canucks Go. Kaiser matias 07:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

So who's going to score?

Crazyness.. who wants it more? Triplefx 07:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

TOLD YA! EnjoysButter


Please do not add redundant links to this article. Only link the first time a team is mentioned. --phenzTalk 07:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


I dispute the facts of the chart, the goal was scored on april 12, not april 11, this is just wrong! EDIT: okay, that makes sense.

The game started on April 11, and is registered as being played on April 11. Kaiser matias 07:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

The article is right. Check the Easter Epic game. It started on Sat (4/18) even though it was won on 4/19. PS- Good luck Canucks! EnjoysButter

Thank god, I was just gonna protect it to prevent well, a massive edit war. Finally, Henrik put the red light on (now the funny thing, Transit just shut down here in Vancouver) -- Tawker 07:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Nothing better than having to walk home from the game eh? Galuple 07:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

It might be a good idea to protect the page anyways. I have a feeling that it is going to get a lot of useage in the next couple of days, and I don't think anyone really wants to deal with that. Kaiser matias 07:42, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be it's own page? Just a thought for the future?
I mean longest NHL overtime games, not this particular game.EnjoysButter

I woulddn't think so. They aren't that notable, and only happen every couple of years. This page does enough for them. Kaiser matias 07:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Time Limit

Is there a time limit from the whistle to attempt each shot in shootout, a bit like a 24-second shot clock in basketball?

[edit] Sharks-Stars coming on the list

lol, Morrow scores!!!

As soon as someone wins the game winning goal.... whenever that may be... Whammies Were Here 05:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, there will be an addition for sure tonight. So far, it's going to be at least #12 or better on the list. CopaceticThought (talk) 06:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

--Alienvenom (talk) 06:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC) GO SHARKS!!! :D

And now it's protected so that there won't be any disruptive edits until the game is over. Kaiser matias (talk) 06:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Why would you want to edit war when you could be watching the game instead? My computer is not in the same room as the TV. CopaceticThought (talk) 06:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Just to clarify as to why I protected the article. Wikipedia isn't a news source; we aren't here to be a up to the minute sports site like ESPN or the like. When the game is finished, it will be added to the list, but not beforehand. So just enjoy the game, and watch history possibly being made. And go Sharks, force that game 7. Kaiser matias (talk) 06:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't agree. I've restored it, and frankly, a few edits don't hurt anyone, and do provide information to readers, who we're supposed to be working for. Ral315 (talk) 06:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
While I agree I am expalaining it poorly, but it is used, from what I can determine, across the various sports projects. It's a game in progess, and it doesn't need to be updated until completed. A similar problem happened back in the 2006 World Cup of Football/Soccer, to use an example, and the consensus was not to update any matches until after they were completed. I would look up some more official explanation, but I'd rather watch the game, and it is rather late out. Kaiser matias (talk) 06:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I suppose I can see the point in not editing an article if it's just being updated with the current minute of the game -- that's certainly not the best way to spend time. But in an article with a list of records, I don't see why we can't update the records as the game goes on. Moot point at this point, of course, as Dallas has won. Ral315 (talk) 06:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The game just ended with 69:03 of overtime when Morrow scored for Dallas

And is now irrelevant. What a shame. Kaiser matias (talk) 06:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Just wanted to point out that Wikipedia beat ESPN.com to the result of the Stars-Sharks game by 10 minutes. I love Wikipedia! :) Bjquinn (talk) 06:37, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Oh, and GO STARS! Bjquinn (talk) 06:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NCAA Overtime Info

I'll admit I've got a bit of personal interest in this one, but I was wondering if anyone would object to the addition of the 1984 NCAA Div. 1 Championship Game (Bowling Green v. University of Minnesota Duluth) to the list of NCAA Men longest overtime games? At 97 minutes, 11 seconds, I'm pretty sure it's the longest D1 Championship game in history. I can find sources, but I just wanted to see what some other opinions would be. Thanks, Tstreet (talk) 03:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DET/PIT 6/2/08

It keeps being added, but I don't see why the game today belongs in the list. It smells of recentism. The OT win was not in the top 20 longest games, and there was not a series/Cup winning OT goal. Therefore, historically it is not particularly notable and doesn't belong. V-train (talk) 05:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

While I can agree that it seems a little bit suspect, I think the fact that it was in a potential elimination game in the SCF and Sykora basically 'called his shot' make it potentially worthwhile. Just another opinion. If it does stay, it needs to be re-worded, because saying that it "dashed the hopes" of the Detroit crowd and the wording that they "squandered" their lead or whatever seems a little POV.
