sweet, sweet, overtime

Last night once our youth group gathering was officially over, we all stayed to watch the end of the third period of the Canucks game. They were tied 4-4 at the end of it, and I was chatting with this girl who said, "So now they play a 5-minute overtime period, and then it's a shootout!" I informed her that this was the playoffs, and that they were going to keep playing 20-minute OT periods until somebody scored, no matter how long that takes. This was news to her, but I reassured her that often enough somebody scores soon and it doesn't take too long.

This morning I read the headline, "Canucks top Stars in fourth OT." Ahahaha.
