      Like others have mentioned, I was at the game in Albany, but I did record it. It was shown on Fox Sports New England in New England and they had to leave the game during overtime because they were contractually obligated to show the Celtics game that afternoon. I don't recall if they came back to the game after the Celtics game ended. That was also the weekend that Jim Fitzgerald screwed Colgate out of winning their first round game vs Michigan when he disallowed their goal in overtime.

        In 2000 only 12 teams made the tournament with the #1 seed in each region getting a bye into the final. SLU was the #1 seed, so hadn’t played the day before.

        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.

        • Woulda been BC-BU in the FF

          • 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.

            The 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.

              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.

              • 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!!!!

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

                      I do remember watching the SLU-BC game, hoping SLU could at least knock you guys out :-). I think it was close for a couple periods maybe, and you guys ended winning something like 5-2.

                        The super-regionals were over 2 days, not three. I also liked seeing four games, but I do prefer the 16 team tournament.

                        It was technically 4x4, as the first set of matching penalties had expired 4 seconds earlier, but it was effectively 3x3.

                            Is it me or does it appear that Denver left him ALL ALONE in front of the net?

                              3x3 expiring. It happens. And it's not like teams practiced 3x3.

                                Technically 4-2 as Gionta had an ENG quite literally at the buzzer. I didn't even realize BC trailed going into the 3rd in that one. But that game was tight as heck and Farkas had a dazzling rush up the ice from his own blue line with a few minutes left to play to win it. You never see a replay of that one anywhere and it was an absolutely brilliant one-man effort and snipe. BC needs to get out the old footage from the archive.

                                Sean, you're right, 2-days for that old regional format. Derp.
