Canucks at 50: Luongo pulls out all the key stops in record 2007 four-OT playoff win

Luongo on his 2007 performance: 'Probably the most exhausting thing I have ever been a part of. It was challenging physically and mentally'

theprovince.com

"If that wasn’t enough, Brent Sopel didn’t play because the previous day he injured his back trying to pick a cracker off the floor."

I forgot this happened lol.

Hypothetically speaking, if one OT and no score, they just go to another, and another, and another...is there actually a hard limit?

This might be a pretty impractical question, but I can't help but wondering about it...

There is no limit. The game ends when a goal is scored and if that happens after 6 overtime’s because everyone is so tired that the puck slow slides in then so be it.

We played Dallas to 4OT in 2007. I think it ended close to 1am.

Henrik played like 45 minutes.

I was at this game. Alone. It was exhausting.

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Logan Thompson is a problem

You mean like THIS????

Now that I think about if it comes to be that this game will become an OT marathon it would fit Vegas well, as the city that never sleeps.

Was the rise of the Braberian also the same year as the Rory All Star campaign? Or were they a year apart?

 

[Vector]

It’s over! Dallas lives.

 

[Red]

Dallas scores

Good

Leafs problems run so deep now.

Soft star players.

Poor head coach (with brand new extension).

Bad, reactionary management in a market obsessed with Don Cherry-isms.

They were close a couple years ago and probably unlucky not to go on a run. Now ... their window is closing rapidly, and might be shut entirely.

The Tavares signing was the moment the Leafs rebuild went sideways. Can't be spending $11 mill on a C when they had Matthews and Kadri. If Tavares was a Dman, it would have made sense and likely get Marner at a lower number since he wouldn't be comparing his numbers to Tavares.

That was the same year. Cowan was awesome in that game because he barely played but had so much energy in OT. Also scored the only game winner in the next series against Anaheim.

 

[valkynax]

2-1 the series, interesting.

It's great to see that many of Dallas' rising stars are lower ranked picks.

Good scouting and team management can make up for the lack of picks infinitely better than the other way around.

I think it was all the same year as the 4OT game.

 

[mossey3535]

f*** yeah, make all the series longer if we're not in them. That's my playoff mantra every year.

Thompson early RVH fail. Johnson smart to not get too close before picking the open side. Robertson continues getting points against Vegas.

 

[mdobbs]

Logan Thompson is a problem

That last goal was soft

He’s pretty mid, the team is carrying him

Honestly, it probably works if not for the Covid flat cap.

Even so, with those forwards they are too talented to be such playoff wimps. Keefe IMO is a huge issue, he's like a small step above Travis Green except he had much better players.

Our series I think won't end earlier than game 6. Predator is no easy opponent, and the games are getting very grindy.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Johnston is going to get paid, Dallas needs to find a way to move that Seguin contract.

 

[sting101]

Jeesh it only took this long for Dallas to raise the puck

game should have been over awhile ago

I wouldn't give THAT much credit to their drafting. In fact, I would say Dallas is a perfect example of how much drafting is really a crapshoot, and luck has a lot to do with it.

A mega successful draft in 2017, good ones in 2022 will make people forget their disasters of 2014, 2016 and 2018.

Fair enough. I'd also add that luck is the residue of design, gotta have the talents, skills, and execution in order for luck to matter.

Exactly this. Dallas’ drafting was really underwhelming then changed the course of the franchise in one amazing draft. Then it fell apart again before busting out recently.

The main reason they are a success is they’ve nailed their critical picks and filled out the primary positions with impact players.

They do have great success with their 1st rounders, so that is something they are good at. That should be bare minimum for most NHL teams, but we all know that's not true, lol.

You know what surprised me a little bit? The year when Bruins had multiple mid first round picks, almost all of them turned into shit.

Can't recall which year exactly.

Yeah the casting was like... Stars player shoots into Thompson's pads when he doesn't even move to make the save - "YoU WoUlDn'T BeLiEvE tHe PeRfOrMaNcE"

Can't recall which year exactly.

2015. They had 3 picks in a row.

1	13	Boston	Jakub Zboril	D	Saint John Sea Dogs [QMJHL]	76	1	15	16	28	2022-23
1	14	Boston	Jake DeBrusk	L	Swift Current Broncos [WHL]	465	138	128	266	101	2023-24
1	15	Boston	Zachary Senyshyn	R	Soo Greyhounds [OHL]	16	1	2	3	4	2021-22

The next three picks were Barzal, Connor and Chabot. Can you imagine a Bruins team like that?

I was there with my brother.

It didn’t matter how late it was gonna go. We were staying.

Was funny watching people sober up though since it went on forever.
