2003 ECAC Championship game is a very close 2nd.

that 2 game playoff  weekend vs Colgate that we scored like a million goals.

Two-fer-1986 ECAC semi-final vs. Yale-2OT and final-OT vs. Clarkson.  Boston Garden rocked, subways closed as games went on and on.  Dadswell stands on his head

Cop at Lynah

ECAC OT win vs Harvard in Albany

That was my first Harvard game.  Good choice.  One of the bigger disappointments was this one at Lynah East.  http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/1986/box19860214.pdf

Another major disappointment.  The win/loss.   http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/1986/box19860322.pdf

Any other old-timers attend the '66-67 NCAA semifinal game in Syracuse against North Dakota?

One more.  The battle of Hall of Famers.  Too many losses.   http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/1985/box19850302.pdf

That was a terrific game with an electric atmosphere, although a disappointing result. Some great chants including "you live in Troy" and trolling RPI coach Adessa with "the coach is fat".

How about the first game you saw freshman year.

If you're old enough, ANY tournament game you saw in old Boston Garden. If you sat in the balcony near the lip, the ground shook under your feet.

Jeff Hopkins '82

Cornell - Providence, ECAC Quarterfinal 1979.  Or as TBRW puts it "The Game"  Box Score

Second choice would probably be the triple OT game in Green Bay in 2006.

Yes, I recall "Coach is fat."  He was not amused.  Cleary was ok with "Coach is bald."

Winter 1962 2-1 win over Gene Kinasewich and Harvard at packed Lynah.  First big win (and a huge upset) after program revived.  Hockey became a "thing" at Cornell that night.
