Greatest Games: The Easter Epic – No. 2 NHL Game

On April 18-19, 1987, at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland, the Washington Capitals and New York Islanders played the longest Game 7 in NHL history. From the time the first puck was dropped until the game-winner, a full six hours and 18 minutes passed. The marathon contest was chock full of memorable moments: from the goalie whose broken skate could have prevented it all to the broadcaster who had to be told to put his clothes back on.
