If Prince ever wrote a song about his home state’s illustrious hockey history, Saturday’s three-OT thriller between Eden Prairie and Duluth East for the class 2a title would be his muse.

Check out how this contest ended…

Deadspin has a video where you hear one of the announcers say this was a horrible way for this game to end. They watched three periods and 2+ OTs worth of this game, and I watched a shift, and I still say that guy is wrong.

Tweet this at Chuck Klosterman and help get his reaction.
