Gotta Love OT!

As of Friday, April 2, 15 SJHL playoff games have gone to overtime, and just one of them needed Double OT, that was Game 2 of the Bauer Conference Survivor Series when Doug Lindensmith scored for La Ronge, giving them a 2-0 series lead over Humboldt. His goal came at 28:09 over overtime, or 88:09 of the game, the longest game of this season.

The longest game I've ever called was last season in Game 4 of the Sherwood Conference Final, when Melville Millionaire defenseman Casey Dion scored at 93:11 (13:11 of 2OT), which gave the Mils a 3-1 series lead, in a series they eventually won in 6.
