Flyers prospect wins longest game in AHL history

[Unsustainable]

What time did the game start and end?

7pm to 1:11am I think

Lehigh Valley? I didn't think the league would rig all LV teams to be unbeatable.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Yessss.....wear yourselves down...

Heard about this, quite a game. Over 6 hrs. long. Congrats to Leigh Valley on the win.

already a thread on this no?

Flyers never needed to get Mrazek, Lyons was good enough replacement....

Keith Primeau is unimpressed by this game.

That game always makes me chuckle. I was a college sophomore and I remember getting home and seeing my roommate watching the game. He wasn't a Pens or Flyers fan, but he naturally got invested in a game that long.

I started a conversation and as soon as my roommate turned his head to talk to me, Primeau scored. The expression on his face was amusing. It was like he wanted to be mad at me for making him miss the moment, but he knew it wasn't my fault and the game wasn't involving his team, but yet he still wanted to be mad at me since he had sat through several OTs.

I was watching the game with friends until the start of OT when I went out to do whatever it was. Hours later I went out to eat, sat down and saw a game on in the distance on the restaurants 1 TV. "Holy shit! It's still on?!" Primeau scored minutes later.

Didn't watch the game but heard about it/saw this morning and was amazed.
Never mind 5OT's. Stopping 94 shots in a game is remarkable. Quite a feat. It may be even more amazing that it's not even a club record for saves in a game as I understand it.

That record was set in the previous 5 OT game versus Charlotte by legendary Flyers goaltender Michael Leighton.

Ya, I saw that earlier. Imagine stopping 94 shots and being informed it wasn’t even a club record. LOL.
I imagine the win is satisfaction enough though.

I cringe whenever I see his name...

Fans got to see almost 3 GP, jealous as shit

 

[DaBolts]

Lyon with 94 saves on 95 shots.

If the Flyers do not call him up for a look, they deserve to lose every game next season. 94 saves? That's insane and elite at any level.

He beat the Canes back in March

Previous game went OT also.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Absolutely blows my mind that it wasn't even the record for most saves. Leighton had 98 (!!!) in a game 2008. Still, what a game, what a performance.

I wonder if anybody has ever made 100 saves. Maybe that 8 OT game in Norway or wherever it was.

Scrivens had a 59 save game once too.

 

[DaBolts]

Scrivens had a 59 save game once too.

Still worth a look. Or we'll sign him.

 

[snipes]

Insane

 

[Tripod]

94 saves by Lyon?

Legit question, do they give these guys IV drips at intermission or something? Surely at some point some food and Gatorade just won't metabolize fast enough?

Interesting that you asked...lol.
