BU ties it at 4 with 0.8 seconds left. They're going to OT!

If I'm a Northeastern fan I'd be feeling sick. A Northeastern guy was just about to skate the puck out of the zone with about 15 seconds left but turned it over and BU was able to pop one home on a goalmouth scramble. Just nuts.

Reminded me of when we beat Sucks a few years ago.

sounds more like a lacrosse game I remember less fondly

Yeah, that's probably a better (and more painful) comparison.

[scoop85]

And NU wins it with ~5 mins left in OT.

On just a bad call. I don't care that BU beat NU on a similar bad call a few years ago. That was a bad call. I can't easily find a video to show it, but wow.

A weak call, especially considering what the refs let slide prior to that point in the OT.

No, I don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande.

You can do it, Stryker!

Great highlights. These clips show the plays developing rather than just the few seconds before each goal. I wish Cornell would take notice.

However, the penalty that led to the tie-breaking goal is missing.

this was my reaction to the video too, in all respects. also, a lot of saves and near-misses. defensive highlights are highlights!

The 4th place team has not  finished with 30+ points since 1996.

Yes, it was my junior year, so there are intangibles that light the whole experience up like a Christmas tree, but that stretch run was the most exciting period of Cornell hockey that I have ever witnessed. '97 was different—a much more "cardiac kids" kind of situation. '03 was "men against boys." '05 might have come close, but I watched (mostly, listened to) that one from afar.

Nothing compares to '96: fan for life.

This year? I don't think the top 4 are going to find their Colgate. It's all about jockeying to secure the "best" quarterfinal opponent. Takes a bit of the suspense out of it, but I'll take it.

If I understand what you are doing correctly, there must be an even number of 1's for each date. It looks like the Clarkson entries for 2/14 and 2/15 should be switched.

Yep.  I suck.  Fixed.

I'm strangely fascinated by the fact that we, Sucks, and Q all have the same six teams remaining. Clarkson has the other six.
