[Trotsky]

And on we go to period #8.

According to announcers, if they go beyond 1:35 into the 5th OT, this will be longest game in NCAA history.

12:35 a.m. Saturday. Three periods, four overtime periods played. It's been quite a while since Brian Unger the announcer has said, "Next goal wins it."

The players' grandchildren will hear this story how many times in their lives?

Shots are 71-55 Union.

[Ronald '09]

141:35 is the record.  We're at 140:00.

That's the men's record.

According to Wikipedia anyway, "On March 10, 1996, New Hampshire defeated Providence, 3-2, in an ECAC Women's Championship game after 85:35 of overtime."

EDIT: that may be inaccurate - according to their source, http://www.uscho.com/ncaad1/?data=longest_games (scroll all the way down), there were 5 10-minute overtimes, so that wouldn't add up to their total length.

It's over 3-2 Q at 1:05 a.m.

So if you're a Union fan when do you just give up and stop hoping that your team will ever win in the playoffs? Geez, losers in both of the two longest games in history.

Kind of gives you a little perspective. :-P

From today's Get Fuzzy comic strip. It might summarize the feelings of the Union hockey team.
