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.

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.

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.

Sacred Heart vs Robert Morris could be the greatest game ever played. But they would somehow be devalued for their records in that season?

Re: The Greatest Games ever played
Here's one, although it doesn't have many far reaching implications (not a playoff, not between two teams with much history or a rivalry to speak of, likely unknown nor remembered by those who weren't there):
Notre Dame VS Western Michigan @ Lawson, January 28th, 1983. Long time ND fans remember this game as the one that followed the announcement that Notre Dame was dropping the team all the way to club status.
Western skated to a 3-0 lead in the first 7 minutes of the game. Later they led 4-1, 5-2, and 7-4. With fewer than 5 minutes to play, and still trailing 7-4, Notre Dame takes a penalty. With Notre Dame short-handed, Rex Bellomy scores at the 16:11 mark to make it 7-5. At 17:37 of the 3rd, another Irish goal makes it 7-6. And with just over a minute to play, Irish All-American Kirt Bjork caps off a 3 goal night, scoring Notre Dame's 7th, sending the game to an unlikely overtime. Overtime rules then had a regular 15 minute intermission followed by a 10 minute sudden death session. Not seeing any blunting of their momentum, John Deasey scored for Notre Dame 1:44 into the OT for an improbable 8-7 Notre Dame win.
John Fineran, the hockey beat writer for the South Bend Tribune at the time had a memorable opening to his game article the next morning:Notre Dame played taps for its hockey program Thursday afternoon and Western Michigan played taps for the Irish three times Friday night.
Friday's renditions were premature.Last edited by WeAreNDHockey; 11-11-2011, 01:53 PM.
