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.

I miss the days of the 12-team tourneys with the one 'super-regional' over 3 days. Those were packed buildings, great atmospheres, and a great ticket value if you bought the package. I didn't mind the auto-bye if one was able to win the RS and conference tournament (except if it was the EZAC!!!). I liked the byes and feel it was a good reward for the top two in each region.
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.Last edited by Nick Papagiorgio; 03-22-2021, 01:11 PM.Originally posted by Greg Ambrose on 3/7/2010The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

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.)
It Happened!!!!

I remember when they were introducing Denver's starting lineup and there were guys from three foreign countries and they finally announced and American and the crowd cheered. 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. 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.

Sean, you're right, 2-days for that old regional format. Derp.Originally posted by Greg Ambrose on 3/7/2010The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.
