Sedin! Sedin! Henrik Sedin!!

Overtime pools during the NHL playoffs are a tradition dating back to the Ticker days in Jersey City.

It's simple: You put in $2 to start, and you pick one player from each team. The more people who get in, the pot grows. For each overtime, everyone has to "buck up" -- add $1 to the pile.

Over some 11-plus years in this business -- give or take -- I have never (Altruda chimes in "ev-ev-ev-AH") won one of these until 2:34 CST this morning.

I can say this now: For $42, I love Henrik Sedin unabashedly. A 10-goal scorer in the regular season, he scored with 1:54 to play in the fourth -- yes, fourth overtime to beat Dallas 5-4 early Wednesday morning.

From Gurnee-based blogstatician -- bitter over the fact that Markus Naslund failed to show up in 78-plaus extra minutes -- Chris Altruda was bitter, along with fellow betters Ethan Cooperson, Chris Antonacci, Civil War apologist Mike Votta and non-hockey fan Matt Becker.

Because you'll want to know ...
