FLA-WSH, longest shootout in nhl history( YT in OP )

[GKJ]

Wow we finally got around to a shootout where players need to shoot twice.

That had to last like a half hour in real time

 

[Brooklanders*]

That was something else. They just made NHL history. Congrats to all involved as a new record has been made.

 

[Hawksfan2828]

I just watched this on Youtube, it was insane.

 

[Hawksfan2828]

yeah it was tough on the nerves. it got kinda boring after awhile to, i just wanted florida to end it already. this took waaaay to long imo

I thought it was amazing the Panthers answered right back every time Washington scored - even more so considering the guys that scored for the Panthers aren't known for scoring goals.

How many of those guys have even had a breakaway in their career let alone a shootout attempt?

 

[VanIslander]

So Marek Malik doesn't have the latest shootout winner anymore?

I was thinking that myself. I didn't watch this one live but I was there live for the Malik INSANE tricky goal to end the NYR-Caps shootout. It was a-ma-zing!~

 

[jagrgodr]

It's a shame this will no longer be the game winning goal on the longest shootout in history

 

[VanIslander]

Ovechkin scored!
Laich scored!
Ward scored!
Green scored!
Orpik scored!

Wait!... we lost?



Jokinen, Bergenheim & co. did us in 6-5 in the shootout.

Dang that was exciting!

 

[DCDM]

Just watched the whole thing. That was awesome to watch. Every time Florida ties it up I just laughed because what a completely ridiculous game.

Congrats to both teams. We probably won't see something like that again!

 

[floridada]

If you saw this pic before the actual move, you might think Jokinen must've taken an unorthodox approach to the shootout.

NHL.com should have gone with a pun: Now Jussi Jokinen, now you don't.

So graceful.

 

[ChickenBurrito]

That was insane. Who knew Orpik had hands like that.

 

[Android 16]

As exciting that was, for health purposes I hope I never experience watching a 10 or more round shootout ever again. Still can't believe guys like Bergenheim, Olsen and Mackenzie were able to score in a pressure situation like that.

 

[capitalsrock]

That was not Brooks Orpik who scored that goal

He's got to be one of the most improved players this year in the league.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

How long did this last in real time?

edit: and is it on youtube somewhere in its entirety?

 

[Extra Texture]

Wow, just watched this whole thing.

That move by Bjugstad sent Holtby's jock strap into low earth orbit. Holy cow what a finish, I even flinched watching it.

 

[Beezeral]

youtube is posted ITT already and it lasted about 19 minutes of real time

 

[KingsHockey24]

The move by Jokinen was sick.

 

[FireBurningBin]

vintage jokinen

My God this was intense. The game was meaningless and Florida is irrelevant to me anymore, but I could barely take the tension. I had no idea while watching it, that it had broken the record. I kept waiting to get in the shower, I figured the third round would be it...then it kept going...and going.

Every time we'd score, Florida would answer. Holtby looked solid until the pressure was on him.

And for those of you still *****ing about the shootout, give it a god damn rest. Regardless of what they replace it with, you'll still *****. Just to *****. Stop *****ing.

Personally, I enjoy it.

Look at the standings dude. Youll notice the irrelevant panthers in a playoff spot with the Caps on the outside looking in.

Anyway last night was epic. Both goalies deserve alot of credit that is physically and emotionally draining.
as luongo (who right now should b the starting allstar goalie) said on twitter "i blacked out what just happened?"

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why did the league decide to not clean the ice after the overtime? Is it to see these marathon shootouts? Because I have to say with how bad the ice was it took a little bit away from this shootout.

Because the GM in Nashville (with some others) said it killed the flow of the game and fans would leave while it was getting the dry scrape.

 

[I am not exposed]

Loved it. Hope they don't get rid of shootouts. They are so much fun. I know people say they are gimmicky, but I find the whole playing with one less player on OT gimmicky.

Fans leave before the shootout? Must be horrible fans.

I don't like the shootout because I don't think games should be decided by a skills competition, but I at least found it fun to watch. Now it's not fun to watch. Also now luck plays a bigger role in the winner who will get an extra point. Pathetic by the league as always.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Would've been better if Bjugstad roofed it between his legs and made a gesture to the crowd.

about 22 minutes said one of the announcer when they were in the 20th round...

 

[tarheelhockey]

Somehow it seemed right for Holtby to end up on the losing side... he got burned badly several times.
