As I sit and think about it more, I suspect goalie fatigue
played a role. The shot was not fully screened, wasn't a
screamer, and the goalie (name escapes me) just didn't get his
5-hole closed quick enough. I really think earlier in the
game he would have stopped that shot. That brings to mind,
did ND have a fresh second goalie they could have put in? Or
do you folks see it differently.

At the 2nd OT intermission, I fell unknowingly asleep. When
I woke up, I didn’t realize I had been asleep (the joys of
old age), thinking the 3rd overtime was coming up. Then I
saw the final score of the Minnesota game. That couldn’t be.
The start of the 3rd OT and the Minnesota third period would
both start at about the same time. There was a never-ending
series of commercials, then back to the intermission hosts
who said nothing about where we were in the game, more
commercials, then the game. She almost I’m mediately said it
was the start of the 5th OT. That got my attention. Had I
really slept through the 3rd and 4th OTs? Yes. The Dogs
scored quickly, I smiled, turned off the TV and lights and
resumed resting until 9:30 this morning. The joys of a
hockey fan.
Wow. Just, Wow. Shattered the OT
record (although not the longest game I ever
witnessed). I sure thought ND was going to pull it
out, but UMD got one screened shot home. Hope
everyone had a chance to watch it live.
