Editor’s note: Sports Uncovered, the newest podcast from NBC Sports, will shine a fresh light on some of the most remarkable moments in sports. The fourth episode tells the story of the "Marathon on Ice" between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Of the four major sports, the NHL has the most exciting postseason structure.
Why? Because nothing compares to playoff overtime hockey.
You know when it starts, but have no clue when it will end. For every quick finish, there seems to be a marathon conclusion.
