From:  PATRICK BLAKE
 
With the shootouts this year taking place after a 5-minute OT period, I began
to wonder how far (historically) would teams play into OT before the winning
goal was scored (if scored at all). Would it (normally) have occurred before
the 5-minute mark? If not, was there any particular reason that a 5-minute OT
period was decided on as opposed to 10 or more?
 
Any thoughts?
 
Thanks!
