replies: text: While I agree I am expalaining it poorly, but it is used, from what I can determine, across the various sports projects. It's a game in progess, and it doesn't need to be updated until completed. A similar problem happened back in the 2006 World Cup of Football/Soccer, to use an example, and the consensus was not to update any matches until after they were completed. I would look up some more official explanation, but I'd rather watch the game, and it is rather late out. Kaiser matias (talk) 06:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I suppose I can see the point in not editing an article if it's just being updated with the current minute of the game -- that's certainly not the best way to spend time.  But in an article with a list of records, I don't see why we can't update the records as the game goes on.  Moot point at this point, of course, as Dallas has won.

thread_title:  Sharks-Stars coming on the list 

message: I'll admit I've got a bit of personal interest in this one, but I was wondering if anyone would object to the addition of the 1984 NCAA Div. 1 Championship Game (Bowling Green v. University of Minnesota Duluth) to the list of NCAA Men longest overtime games?  At 97 minutes, 11 seconds, I'm pretty sure it's the longest D1 Championship game in history.  I can find sources, but I just wanted to see what some other opinions would be.  Thanks, Tstreet (talk) 03:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: NCAA Overtime Info

message: It keeps being added, but I don't see why the game today belongs in the list.  It smells of recentism.  The OT win was not in the top 20 longest games, and there was not a series/Cup winning OT goal.  Therefore, historically it is not particularly notable and doesn't belong. V-train (talk) 05:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While I can agree that it seems a little bit suspect, I think the fact that it was in a potential elimination game in the SCF and Sykora basically 'called his shot' make it potentially worthwhile.  Just another opinion.  If it does stay, it needs to be re-worded, because saying that it "dashed the hopes" of the Detroit crowd and the wording that they "squandered" their lead or whatever seems a little POV.

thread_title:  Olympic Overtime 

message: "However, if the same number of goals are scored by both teams during the shootout, a sudden death shootout is begun . . . "
I'd prefer to put quote marks around "sudden death," as this usage corrupts the term. Sudden death should mean that the contest ends with a score. The situation described here is more like extra innings in baseball (or a college football overtime), as a complete cycle for both competing teams is required to be completed. Why should a hockey game that ends on a save be considered sudden death?  WHPratt (talk) 16:25, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Longest AHL overtime needs to be changed 

message: "May 13, 2013: Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins scores past James Reimer of the Toronto Maple Leafs at 6:05 of the first overtime period in Game 7 of the Eastern Confrence Quaterfinals to cap off a miraculous comeback which saw the Bruins rally from being 4–1 down in the final 11 minutes of regulation to win the game 5–4. Bergeron also scored the game tying goal with 50.2 seconds to go in regulation time."
Sounds to me like the overtime win wasn't itself very notable - just the "miraculous" comeback in regulation, and this seems to only be notable to the fan that added this game. Nominate for deletion. Will wait until after the cup for discussion before I delete.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.250.160.5 (talk) 00:49, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable playoff overtime game? 

message: An anonymous editor identified by an IP address has revised the table of long NHL playoff overtime games to state that the 1996 Capitals–Pittsburgh game ended at 79:15.4 of overtime. His most recent edit summary noted that in 1991 the NHL adopted the NBA's clock that uses tenths of a second during the final minute of a period. While that's true, I've reverted the edit for the following reasons:
(a) If tenths of a second are to be used as to one game, they should be used as to every game played since the league started using that clock. But this particular game was the only one changed to this format. It looks rather odd to be so precise as to one game and not as to any other.
(b) NHL statistics don't use the tenths of a second in the box score. They just show minutes and seconds.
(c) The NHL record book doesn't use the tenths of a second either. You can find the score of every overtime game since 1918 at the following link: http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=31236 (Click on the ten-year periods underneath the table heading to see more recent data.) Tenths of a second are not shown for any game, including the Capitals' 1996 game (a game I remember all too well as a Caps fan). If the NHL record book doesn't record statistics with such pinpoint precision, I don't see any point in doing so here.
While I think the anonymous user intended his edit to be in good faith, I simply think it opens up an impossible task by calling for a level of precision that can't likely be satisfied because it may be impractical to get this sort of data for all other post-1991 playoff overtime games. In addition, I think it creates a further burden because the casual reader will wonder why some games' entries show this precision and others don't, meaning an explanatory footnote would be needed. But the table already has enough footnotes as it is. 1995hoo (talk) 18:42, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Timing of NHL playoff overtimes post-1991 (tenths of a second) 

message: "(the World Hockey Association had used a 10-minute regular season overtime period, as had the NHL prior to World War II)"
Yes, the WHA overtimes were set for 10 minutes, but were terminated by a sudden-death goal. So, practically speaking, they were nothing like the pre-war NHL's overtime periods, which were played out in full. I'd suggest that this read "(the World Hockey Association had used a 10-minute, sudden-death regular season overtime period)" or similar wording. WHPratt (talk) 17:00, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: List of Notable NHL games

message: Regarding shootouts, I didn't see any discussion of whether the visitors or the home team shoots first -- or whether there's a coin flip or other determinant, and whether that order persists throughout the shootout under the various league rules. Certainly, this is important to strategy, and thus has to be addressed. WHPratt (talk) 17:17, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rule (shootout) 

message: The list of notable NHL overtime games has a symbol denoting demolished arenas. My question is, why do we care? How is the fact that an arena was demolished relevant in any way to the fact that a very long game was played there? It feels like trivia for the sake of trivia. I can see why the fact that a game was played at a neutral site could be deemed relevant insofar as neither team had home fan support (though in the case of the 2020 five-overtime game, there were no fans there at all), but demolished arenas just seems like excessive detail. 1995hoo (talk) 16:15, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
