FS23,

This is going to be real hard to quantify.

I understand that, but it has never stopped me before.

Damm that game. I spent so much time and money following a ****ty hockey team because that game hooked me.

That's the game that hooked MEg, too.

Why are people mentioning the 1984 title game? That was a ****ty game.

What about the second 1985 semifinal?

March 17, 2006 Final Five Semi-Final: St. Cloud State Huskies vs Minnesota Gophers. Huskies win 8-7 in OT. Huskies were up 5-2, 6-3, and 7-5. Gophers scored game tying goal with 14 secs left in regulation. Greatest game I've ever attended. Just found this on youtube, quality isn't good but you get to see all the goals.

And Shirtless Guy, and HuskyNation, and several others that either don't post anymore or never did.

1979 NCAA title game. Minnesota vs North Dakota. Gophers win 4-3. Neal Broten scores while diving for the puck and flips it over the goal tender for the game winner.

I'm pretty sure Jan hung a banner after that game.

I think they hung one for every goal if I remember correctly.

1993 National Championship: Maine v. LSSU

The outcome was horrible...but what a game. Amazing.

old pio has been banned (for comments on the Penn State tread in the Cafe), I hope this thread doesn't close before he can return and bring some memories that others may not have.

Re: The Greatest Games ever played

Completely forgot about SCSU's 8-7 OT game over Minnesota in the 2005 WCHA Final 5 Semi-final. That was a great game even though the outcome was horribly undesirable for me.

Another bad memory for us Gopher fans:

UMD 5 - Minnesota 4 OT - 1998 WCHA First Round (Best of 3) - Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center - Duluth, MN
Deciding game 3 to see who advances to the Final 5 in Milwaukee. Down 4-0 with 14 minutes left, UMD rallys for the tie and wins it in overtime. One of the worst days of my life. However, I couldn't help but smile when head coach Mike Sertich slid on the ice into the goal while celebrating.

Re: The Greatest Games ever played

The best game I ever saw was the 1973 NCAA final between MTU and Minnesota. With Minnesota winning 4-2. Tech had come into the game as the regular season WCHA champ with a record of 29-9-3. They had a tough time with Harvard but won in OT, and lost in a terrific game to Minnesota at the Boston Garden. I remember the game was really up tempo for all 60 minutes and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.Both teams were flying and it was a shame someone lost..I have never seen anything so exciting since. The Minnesota goalie won the MVP I believe and was put on the all tournament team. He was terrific. I believe Buzz Schneider was one of the UMTC players, and the coaches were Herb Brooks and John MacInnes.

You are a crabby old man! And yes, I was. But Christ, do I have to put a **** smiley face on a post for it to be taken as a joke? MUST I STOOP TO SUCH LOWBROW TACTICS AS THE EMOTICON? Nay, I shall keep my standards high, and eschew the emoticon.

And I was so unbelievably drunk for the SCSU-UMTC 8-7 game. Oh, was I drunk. It was glorious.
