Today in Hockey History<\/h2>\n

Petr Klima<\/a> Ends Longest Stanley Cup Final Game<\/h3>\n

1990:<\/strong> The Edmonton Oilers<\/a> forward scores 15:13 into the third overtime as they edge the Boston Bruins<\/a>, 3-2. Klima got benched for long stretches during the game but beats Bruins goalie Andy Moog<\/a> to end the game.<\/p>\n

Edmonton had gotten out to a 2-0 lead before Boston rallied. Ray Bourque<\/a><\/strong> scores early in the period before a 26-minute power outage. He tallies again with 1:29 left in regulation to force plenty of extra hockey. The Oilers go on to win the series in five games.<\/p>\n
