I was also at the game, but I didn't win anything.  To summarize how long the
game was, after the game we met a fan who related the following story:
 
He left during the first overtime to pick up his kids.  He took them home and
made them dinner.  While he was eating he turned on the radio and discovered
the game was still on.  He then returned to see the end of the fourth
overtime and the game winner.
 
Among the unheralded accomplishments were that this was also probably the
first game in women's hockey history were the concession stand ran out of
food, the souvenior stand sold out and the players hoped to get hit so they
could lie down.
 
If you get to watch a tape of the game you can truly appreciate how far
women's hockey has come.  The players looked good on television.  Contrary to
popular belief there are no ankle benders.  If you like European style
hockey, you will truly enjoy women's hockey.
 
Of course I was pleased with the result, but I think that the publicity that
this game has received is not only good for the women but any attention to
hockey in other parts of the country is good for the game.
