Well it felt like the longest. Who fell asleep and thought they were just "dozing off for a while", and then woke up to find out it had been two or three hours and the game was still going?
That's 'cause the Stars V. Canucks game was the 6th longest in NHL history and I heard it was the longest playoff game though it's not been confirmed in print yet.
Canucks top Stars in fourth OT
Henrik Sedin scored to end the sixth-longest game in NHL history, giving Vancouver a victory in their playoff opener early Thursday morning.
Sedin took a pass from his brother Daniel in the slot and fired the puck in the net at 18:06 of the fourth overtime period to give the Canucks a 5-4 victory over Dallas.
"I felt better the more we played," the goal scorer told Hockey Night in Canada. "It was nice in the fifth and sixth periods to feel you've got your legs."
The teams will return to GM Place for Game 2 of the Western Conference quarter-final on Friday (CBC, 9 p.m. ET).
Markus Naslund, Daniel Sedin and Mattias Ohlund each had a goal and an assist for Vancouver, while Bryan Smolinski also scored. Five other Canucks notched assists.
Roberto Luongo made 72 saves in his first NHL playoff game.
