In case you somehow haven’t heard it by now, on Wednesday, May 9 the Lehigh Valley Phantoms defeated the Charlotte Checkers by a final score of 2-1 in what was the longest game in the history of the American Hockey League. As you can imagine, that’s a game that you can pull some pretty ridiculous stats from, whether it’s Alex Lyon making 94 saves, Philippe Myers playing 66 minutes, or the fact that it took just about six hours to watch the whole game from start to finish.
All of these numbers led me to one question: how many shot attempts were taken over the course of a game that lasted 146 minutes?
