Did anyone watch the entirety of that nonsense? It seemed like most people in arena didn't either. I managed to watch most of the 1st 2 OT's. My feed was lagging bad and I noticed that the time of the game kept increasing so I knew it hadn't ended yet. From what I saw it was fairly boring, but I am sort of bummed I didn't see it all. In the last 40 years I've managed to see the entirety of every crazy long game but that one. I have a funny memory from when I was 10 or 11 years old and watching the Caps vs NYI game and it went into OT. My dad was going to bed and I asked if I could stay up until it ends and he said yes. He woke up 3 hrs later and heard the TV on and came downstairs and when he saw I was still up he gave me hell. He didn't believe that the game was still on and it was on commercial during the 5th intermission. He kept telling me to turn it off and I refused so he walked over to the TV and was about to turn it off the game came back on for the faceoff for the 4th OT. Incredibly, those OT's weren't boring at all. I thought Lomberg's goal in the 1st OT should have counted. The Florida player did skate into the crease and made contact with the goalie, but it was irrelevant to the play. The goalie was moving back and to his right when the Florida guy tripped over him. The goalie was moving on his own and way over played it so when the shot came to the other post he was way out of position. i.e. usually, when a goalie's skate gets clipped its the goalie that is tripped. The contact didn't change the goalies movement or prevent him from doing anything in that regard.
