T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 They declared it a tie???? *******...KEEP PLAYING DAMNIT! Agreed.... you already broke the record, make it a legit record..... Ideally keep playing, but if concerned for the kid's health, at least reschedule the overtime.... Ties should not be a part of sports or competition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 I heard it was only the 2nd longest game in US high school history, but regardless, it's incredible. I, too, wish they would have kept playing, but if kids were actually in danger, then so be it I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cirov19 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Lol co-champions? They should've changed the rules around to allow more scoring.. it's better than declaring a tie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingsdiehard13 33 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 My team was eliminated one round before we would have played Marquette... Speaking of long games.... Earlier this season, my team played a 6 OT game. I guess it was the 3rd longest in Michigan high school history, and was something like 46 seconds off the record. Looks like we get bumped to 4th... We did win the game tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 can someone please sum this up for me.. the article wouldnt load Marquette and Orchard Lake St. Mary's played in the Division 1 hockey championship and the game ended in a 1-1 tie after 8 OT's. High school plays 15 minute periods and 8-minute OT's so it's not quite the same as the pros. I don't have any problem with the decision, except that they didn't consult the coaches beforehand. They ought to have simply declared a longer break between OT's and used the time to talk to the coaches to get their input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted March 12, 2008 co-champions tahts bs I guess you and a few others missed the parts in the article that talked about the kids being dehydrated and the players themselves being quoted as they were too tired to even take off pads. How much BS would it have been if one of these kids had keeled over dead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12Newf 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 i actually witnessed a kid die during a soccer game i was playing in a few years back partially due to heat exhaustion and seriously these kids sounded like they were in rough shape. i am no fan of ties either but that much hockey is completely crazy and when health starts to become an issue its just a game, call it a tie.

Agreed. They article even stated that the didn't call it a tie because they just felt like it, it came to that decision because of fear's for the kids' health. I don't like ties as much as the next guy but I don't like kids dying even more. Edited March 12, 2008 by GordieSid&Ted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
