I can't remember.::scared::
I remember it well.  My problem is remembering why I opened up this internet browser tonight, before deciding to check out the important news of the world, i.e. cnn and elynah.  But I'm pretty good at remembering old Big Red games.
Here's another memorable one:  January '71, Harvard at Lynah.  Cornell ties the game after pulling the goalie as Kevin Pettit tips in a Ron Simpson slapshot.  Then Jim Higgs scores shorthanded in overtime to keep a 4-year home winning streak alive.  Fast forward to Nov. 2002, and Cornell is playing at Western Michigan.  The game goes into overtime and I'm sitting next to Dick Bertrand.  I ask him if he remembers the first overtime game he ever coached.  He says no, and I proceed to give him the above details.

Wasn't that also the game where the Harvard players wanted to take out the goal judge because they thought they won in OT?
That I don't recall.  The other thing I remember about that day though, was that was the day that Ned Harkness got bumped up from coach to GM of the Red Wings and replaced as coach.  I found out about that when I got to Lynah from Ozzie Richardson, who always occupied the seat just to the left (facing the ice) of the Cornell bench.

After reading the Brandon Thomas story today I'm fairly sure the goal judge the Harvard players wanted a piece of was Mike Teeter. I remember Dennis Paese the team manager at the time quoting him.  "If it was a goal I would have lit the lamp." But God knows this must be a paraphrase of what was said.
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."
