I talked about this cartoon years ago. I believe it's from a north country paper after our ECAC win in Boston. Has anyone seen it or know where it's from?

Not sure where it's from, but the caption says ECAC Final, rather than NCAA.

Right. The save statistics are from the ECAC championship game, where Bruce Bullock absolutely stood on his head to keep that game even until the final minute. Funny, but the image in my memory of John Hughes's winning goal is very much like the scene depicted on the left of that cartoon.CM cWo 44

Didn't Hughes score earlier in the third period only to have it called back "offsides?"
All I remember from that final was the TV broadcaster saying after Cornell's win "every dog has his day."

John scored with 50 seconds left IIRC but it was whistled offside. I was sitting in the first row of the balcony, right above the blue line and above Giles Threadgold who was calling the offside. I could see him making the call by pointing to the line but no one could hear the whistle because the Garden was so noisy. John provided a virtual replay with 14 seconds left to end it.Al DeFlorioYes...but also late in the third period, IIRC.Old Red

I was in the second row of the mezzanine, also at that blue line, with Bullock defending the goal to my left. Unforgettable game.jkahn

So, was it or was it not a good call?
I too was there. But in the pandemonium of the moment, I couldn't say.

Yeah, my bad. After posting I realized in the post I'd said NCAA and corrected it to ECAC, but stupidly didn't correct the Subject line. Done.
Yes the Hughes goal(s) were as described. I was sitting behind the goal to see them both. It's the game that gave the Boston Globe quote that I use for my signature here. You just knew we should score but also feared a misstep and a loss. Cornell fans were at their best at that game. They never gave up and never stopped shouting. Of course it was a lot easier when you saw how hard the team was trying. They never gave up, nor did any Harkness team for that matter, nor did we.
From where I was sitting, I certainly can't say about the offsides, but I have to believe it was correct. Threadgold was an infamous official, more so because of how theatrical he could be rather than not being a good ref. It's hard to believe he would have called it if it wasn't clear. Sometime I may go back and reread the Globe and Sun stories to see what they said.
Considering how close we came to losing that game, especially considering how we dominated, and considering how close we were to losing the NCAA finals in LP, without Lodboa's heroics that probably would have been a loss, you see how fortunate we were to be undefeated. Never again.
If '67 put the stamp on the BU rivalry, certainly '70 highlighted the Clarkson rivalry.

Hughes was offsides - the first time! Not the second. An undefeated NCAA D1 hockey season - Priceless and never again.

Local wrap up on the Boston news perhaps?

I remember him most for how he would leap up on the dasher boards and stand on them,his arms folded, looking down on a scrum for the puck beneath him like Zeus amused by the toil of mere mortals. Great.

I had a great view and a pretty good eye for those sort of things, but I wasn't sure if it was offsides or not - it was that close. Hughes was receiving a pass just as he crossed the blueline at center ice. However, Threadgold was right below me and I saw him signal the call, so I knew it was called offside before the score.rediceAl DeFlorioI was in the second row of the mezzanine, also at that blue line, with Bullock defending the goal to my left.
