Answer 1

they can play till all the pens get passed 30 yrs of age

Answer 2

Until someone scores.....there is no limit.

Answer 3

They play 5 OT's... if the game is still going, they stop play for the night and continue the next night.

Though this one just ended, so it's not going to happen (tonight, at least...)

Answer 4

If necessary, they will play until next season starts.

Answer 5

Answer 8

Hilarious goal...setup was off the official's butt. Game 6 here we go.......

Andto answer your question, the longest game in history went to 6 overtimes I believe. or 6am. I can't remember, my dad told me a long time ago. Either way they will play forever. It hasn't come to resting and then restarting the game later...yet.

Answer 9

as many overtimes they need till someone scores!

Answer 10

Many as ya need, sudden death, 20 minute OTs

Answer 11

All night if necessary.........till there is a goal scored.
