A playoff game between the Montreal Victoire and Ottawa Charge set a record for the longest game in Professional Women’s Hockey League history on Sunday night, spanning over 135 minutes and four overtime periods.
The puck dropped at 2:08 p.m. ET, and the game went on for more than five hours, finally coming to an end at 7:42, with Montreal winning 3-2.

Catherine Dubois scored the game-winning goal with just under five minutes remaining in the fourth overtime period to give Montreal its first playoff win in franchise history.
“I’m just happy we got a win and it’s over now,” Dubois said after the game.

Montreal goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens set a record with 63 saves on 65 shots. Gwyneth Philips made 53 saves for the Charge, good for a franchise record.
Montreal defender Erin Ambrose logged a game-high 58:09 in ice time while Laura Stacey led all forwards with 46:47.
It was the second-longest game in Montreal’s rich professional hockey history, just shy of Game 1 of the 1936 semifinals between the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Maroons (176:30). It was also the second consecutive year that Montreal’s second game of the postseason turned into a hockey marathon. Last season, Boston beat Montreal 2-1 in triple overtime en route to a 3-0 series win.
With the win on Sunday, the best-of-five semifinal series is now tied 1-1 and will turn to Ottawa on Tuesday for Game 3.

What could Pete Rose’s reinstatement mean for Hall of Fame cases of Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez and others?
Getty Images Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred ruled Tuesday that players and other figures placed on the league's permanently ineligible list will have that eligibility restored upon their deaths. Manfred arrived at this decision following a posthumous appeal on behalf of Pete Rose, who had been on that list since 1989, as well as public pressure and a face-to-face meeting with President Donald Trump. The decision restored the eligibility of Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, and 15 other dead players. The most important implication of Manfred's decision has to do with the Baseball Hall of Fame. Pursuant to Rose's placement on the permanently ineligible list, the Hall in 1991 ruled that players on that list could not be elected into the Hall of Fame. Manfred's decision to restore their eligible status now means election and induction into the Hall is possible […]

Mandatory Credit: Lucas Boland-Imagn Images CHARLOTTE -- Luke Donald likes what he sees from European golfers entering this week's PGA Championship. He'll be the captain of the European team at the Ryder Cup in September.
