Fan charts own heart rate for Game 6 thriller

Chris Kreider scored twice and was a general pest as the New York Rangers defeated the Washington Capitals to force Game 7.

It should come as no surprise that, as die-hard sports fans, our heart rates rise and fall in correlation with the tension on the ice.

But it’s fun to see those stressful swings plotted along a timeline.

Rangers fan Marcelo002 attended Game 6 Sunday at Verizon Center and tracked his heart rate throughout the New York Rangers’ thrilling Game 6 victory over the Washington Capitals.

It’s a good stress.

I was at game 6 and decided to plot my heart rate during the game. I think the last 3 minutes says it all. - Imgur
