Admin Victor 10,947 Posted January 5, 2020 Admin Share Posted January 5, 2020 I went on an adventure after Game 1 of Riga vs Seattle and found that it was the 3rd longest playoff game in recorded VHL history (and the longest ever cup final game since apparently all the longest games have to happen in the first round). Longest playoff games The overall VHL record was set in S47 when Stockholm knocked out Riga in a first round sweep. It is however some way off the VHLM records, with some fun tidbits below: - Here's Higgins scoring the OT winner in the VHLM in what was at the time (in S23), the longest game ever @Higgins - Here's future Helsinki starter Jakob Kjeldsen facing 129 shots in just 3 overtime periods - And here's Yukon setting the overall record with a 7th overtime winner in S34, and 6th overtime in S50 (I was GM, I had no recollection) - S21 was the only cup-winning game to make the list Cxsquared, jRuutu and Garsh 3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/75201-longest-playoff-games-ever/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
