Who doesn't love overtime? Especially sudden death. Even when it is two teams that don't matter to me I still love staying up until the wee hours of the morning watching the playoffs unfold. I remember years ago when Pittsburgh and Washington had a number of games go into 3 and 4 overtime periods. I think the longest ever game went into 6 OTs - that is like 3 games in one night!

Yeah I stayed up until just past 3AM watching Detroit and Edmonton last night and I was disappointed that Edmonton scored but oh well. Nothing against Edmonton but I predicted Detroit would win so I'm sticking to it. But what a night with the disallowed "goal" by Williams... Like Kelly Hrudey said, even Roloson wasn't sure it didn't go in. It could have become like John LeClair's no goal a few years back, but thank God because Edmonton doesn't really need any more controversy!

Yup overtime is everything. If the NHL were mine...which it will be some day...mooooooooohaaaahaaaahaaahaaa! (lame evil laugh) I would have every tie game go to OT rather than the cursed shootout. I know they need the shootout to regulate the time factor for broadcasting but you can't beat a game that finishes organically. The prefabricated shootout is damaging the game's credibility.
