krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted May 10, 2018 Lehigh Valley Phantoms beat the Charlotte Checkers 2-1 in the 5th overtime last night. 146:48 (over 2.5 hours). Alex Lyon got the win for the Phantoms, stopping 94 of 95 shots (0.989 save percentage)... That's insane! Too bad Charlotte couldn't have thrown 6 more shots on net, so he could have (maybe) hit the 100 save plateau... 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted May 10, 2018 Two more saves than Osgood made in the entire '98 Finals series against Washington. Not a bad night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) I remember watching game 1 of the Anaheim/Dallas series in 2003. That one also ended in the 5th overtime, though I believe it was in the very first minute of the 5th overtime. The game started at either 6:00 or 6:30 p.m. local time, and ended after 1:00 a.m. I was rooting for the Ducks, but after a certain point, I just wanted someone to score. You watch just to see if it will ever end. I can only imagine how much a game like that takes out of a team. Especially the losing team. 94 saves is remarkable. That goalie will be sore after the game. Edited May 10, 2018 by GMRwings1983 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad Charlotte couldn't have thrown 6 more shots on net, so he could have (maybe) hit the 100 save plateau... That has to be a record? Nope. Incredibly, Lyon's performance isn't even a league record. Former Albany River Rats goalie Michael Leighton made 98 saves in another five-overtime playoff game back in 2008, and it was the Phantoms who also won that game. (Best 5OT hockey team in the world!) Leighton may narrowly hold the record, but he was on the losing side of that contest. NHL records: Most saves by a goaltender, in an NHL regular season game: Sam LoPresti (March 4, 1941), 80 Most saves by a goaltender, in an NHL playoff game: Normie Smith (March 24, 1936), 92 1 hour ago, chaps80 said: I like that Lyon kid.

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted May 14, 2018 Have Holland sign a deal where if he doesn’t win 40 games he’s fired and can’t accept a GM job anywhere in the league for ten years. He’ll suck, we’ll be rid of him, and have the best lottery odds. Mrazek over Coreau at backup would actually win you some games though, so maybe not a good idea. Holland/Coreau. Tank on.
