Correct. And then Drury continued that streak in the Frozen Four semifinal against Michigan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wVFSgfMAIw

Sean - is that correct? And that April snowstorm happened the day after flying home from the FF in Milwaukee. It was, like, 65 degrees there, flew home on Sunday and Monday got 2' of snow.

Regarding that BU-Denver game. Correct on the Drury fun-fact, Scarlet. Shawn Bates was indeed out of his mind in that game. Drury's OT game winner was during a 3 on 3. (The old fashioned. Lots of sinning.)

edit - True story. The first tournament game I ever attended was BU/Denver in Worcester in 1997. There was about a month or so in between receiving the obvious acceptance letter from BU and the nail-biter from BC. I rooted for BU in that one (luckily the big envelope came from BC a few weeks later - delayed by a massive April 1st snowstorm in MA). I believe Drury won it in overtime and may have climbed the glass? It was a good game. Shawn Bates skated around like he had rockets attached to his skates.There was one of those fun facts that said BU was undefeated that season when Drury had at least a point and I think up until he scored that OT goal, he didn't have a point in that game.

According to the GoTerriers.com recap, BU had several good chances to win in overtime: a Carl Corazzini breakaway and Pat Aufiero hitting the crossbar (shade of 1991). Rick DiPietro, HE rookie of the year that season, stopped the initial shot by Carruthers, who beat the BU defender (Aufiero?) to the rebound for the GWG.
Here's the game account with a photo of the GWG.
