Coaching in these games is tough enough. I really can't imagine how tiring it must be to officiate a game that is really on the line for 4 OT periods. It may have been close all game, but it certainly is in the balance for about 25 consecutive minutes, with every call in OT carrying a little extra weight.
So not only do you get the extra physical exercise, but that mental effort has got to be a bit draining as well.
