    Re: Best Ever Power Plays

    The 1996 Colorado College power play was very, very good.

    There's no more pompous group of sports fans in the Twin Cities than hardcore followers of Gophers men's hockey. That makes it quite entertaining to see them in full pout after an unexpected elimination from the NCAA tournament. - Reusse

      Yes, Don Cutts did wear zero. He also has the distinction of being RPI's first NHL player, playing a few games for Edmonton in their first NHL season.

        Yeah the "0" was funny as h*ll.

        I was thinking that this Cox wasn't even UNH's best Cox - I assume that distinction would belong to Ralph ?

        PPs from BU and Maine have been mentioned - I agree on Kariya et al. The % success posted for Wisc and BU is stunning. I was also thinking Harvard had a few in the 80-s in the McDonald-Fusco years, and I assume Oates-Servenis at RPI in mid 80's as well. Out East, one PP I remember as a kid was Clarkson's - they ran that pick play at the point - today that would get called every time.

          for almost the entire season, that team (as you well remember) outscored other teams' pps.

              Karyia on the PP is best not to mention Mongomery playing with him.

                84-85 Bulldogs: 36 percent. I think they are the last team to have a PP over 35 percent.
                How do they expect us to throw hotdogs at the gophers with that [Expletive deleted] net in front of us?

                      This power play is the only part I want to remember - I've repressed the rest of the game.
                      I don't know if a videotape of the entire game still exists. "zoofer" might know.

                        I figured as much. Actually it wasn't a powerplay because each team had three skaters on the ice due to two sets of matching penalties. It should be added that RPI had two defensemen, Dave Jack and Gerry Beauclair, in the box which probably hurt. I think that RPI only had five dmen dressed as fewer skaters were allowed back then. In any case, only three were in the video (#2 Rick Marsh, #5 Brent Goss [misnamed by the announcer], and #19 Mike Prpich).

                        I remember quite well listening to that game in my dorm room. It was considered quite a big upset when RPI, the 8th seed, beat UNH, the 1st seed. Of course, 8th seed in the ECAC back then was a middle-of-the-pack position.

                          1976-77 Clarkson power play was over 40%
                          Murray Wright on the right board D
                          Bill Blackwood in the middle on the blue line
                          Dave Taylor at the top of the left wing circle
                          Marty McNally behind the net
                          Kevin Zappia on the goal line by the RW boards

                          Because everyone feared Taylor, the key scoring was the back door dunk to Zappia as McNally walked out from behind the net. Blackwood had a cannon from the blue line that if the PK packed it in, he would blow by the goalie.
