Hey there, time traveller!

A thrilling 36 seconds of three-on-three overtime ended in a quick finish for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who beat the Jets 4-3 at MTS Centre.
The visitors put the cap on the night with a quick strike by Ondrej Palat.
Previously, Tampa Bay held a 3-2 lead going into the third, but Jets winger Blake Wheeler evened the score with a shorthanded goal. The teams stayed at loggerheads to push the game into OT.
The Lightning visitors cracked the scoreboard first with a goal from defenceman Braydon Coburn. The Jets scored first on a goal by Nik Ehlers.
Lightning forward Cedric Paquette scored just over seven minutes into the second period, to give Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead.
Minutes later, the Jets evened the score on a funky play, as forward Drew Stafford carried the puck solo up towards the Lightning net. As he went to make a shot, he lost control of the puck – but the disc still slipped five-hole on Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop, to tie up the score at 2-2.
The crowd’s euphoria didn’t last long. Just 21 seconds later, Lightning forward Vlad Namestikov banged in a rebound off a Victor Hedman shot to retake the 3-2 lead.
The visitors cracked the scoreboard first, with a goal from defenceman Braydon Coburn, and racked up six shots on goal in total.
The Jets, by contrast, pumped 11 shots on Lighting goalie Ben Bishop in the first 20 minutes of play. Some were dangerous, but none more killer than the Nik Ehlers shot that opened the Jets’ scoring with 3:32 left before the break.
Mark Scheifele, who fed Ehlers with a slick lateral pass, earned an assist. So did Mathieu Perreault, who enabled the play by feeding Scheifele with a tape-to-tape pass.
The period did end in a bit of drama. After the horn blew to end the period, Jets captain Andrew Ladd and his linemates became embroiled in a brawl with some of their opponents. As a result, Bryan Little and Tampa Bay forward Cedric Paquette took offsetting penalties.
Shots flew and tempers boiled over, and though the Tampa Bay Lightning struck first on Friday night at MTS Centre, the score stood tied 1-1 after the first period.
