If that makes it a lottery then surely the whole game is a lottery? Someone gets a one on one and misses because of the crowd and occasion, how is that any different than someone missing a penalty?

Even if the football is terrible?
Another NHL game (good example as NHL playoff games last untill there is a winner) started at 7pm and the winner was scored at 2:25am
Ice Hockey is a fast moving sport, people said after the game that at times it looked at the players were moving in slow motion.

The third-longest game in NHL history left players on both teams exhausted, sometimes looking like they were moving in slow motion. Penguins right winger Alexei Kovalev, for example, said his regular moves just didn't work as the game went into the wee hours. "Every move you do is not going to work, because nobody reacts to your moves anymore."
