Guessing that Sean doesn't have the full game of this one.
BU had beaten Michigan in the semi but was crushed by CC, 13-4, at the original Broadmoor in the final. That team had Jack Garrity (51-34-85) and Jack Kelley, plus All American goalie Ralph Bevins.

70 years ago, @CC_Hockey1 set records en route to winning the 1950 national title against Boston U.

As a team, the Tigers scored a tournament-record 10 goals in the third period and Chris Ray scored a championship game best 4 goals.

Of course not, they lost the game! I burnt my film of it as soon as it was over!

It also occurred to me that if we were Colgate hockey fans our Google drive of games would have like 5. Yes, we've experienced a lot of heartbreak at the National Level, but better to have loved and lost than to never have loved.

Our Google drive?

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

Some of the latest uploads to my Google drive include:

1997 Hockey East Quarterfinals game 1 NU at BU
1997 Hockey East Quarterfinals game 2 NU at BU
1999 Beanpot Semifinal NU vs Harvard
1999 Beanpot Semifinal BU vs BC
1999 Beanpot Championship BU vs NU
1995 The Tragedy Oct 20 UND at BU

The last is the game in which Travis Roy was paralyzed. Even now it was hard to watch, but it is a part of BU hockey, it was televised and it was widely shown both at the time and since. However, I have uploaded it because it was great back-and-forth offensive show between two top programs.

OK, here's the thing: the game files are large and I'm running out of space on my home NAS. Currently I'm keeping a copy of every game after I upload a copy to my Google drive, but I had less space on my NAS to start, so it is going to run out long before I get all my tapes converted. I would like to keep copies on my NAS and I'm considering getting a second, larger NAS unit. If you have enjoyed watching any of the games I'm hoping you will be willing help with that cost (and for a possible solution to the Google drive filling up).

Sean - I would be happy to help with the cost, given the benefit. Can you give some sense of the cost to you? Maybe we get enough contributions from the regulars on here to make it feasible?

Watching the 2009 championship game. Man, that team was good.

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

Watching the 2009 championship game. Man, that team was good.

Just finished. What a game! . Some thoughts:

- They played a solid 1st, but 3 penalties.
- They started the 2nd on the PP and had three pucks hop over sticks or flat old whiffed with open nets in front of them. I mean, at this point you're thinking there is NO WAY they lose this game with their skill and how the game is going. Stay out of the box, score 3-4 goals and win going away...
- There was like a 20 minute review after Miami's first goal. I mean come on, this **** never gets better.
- Miami was 0-7 on the PP. Ouch
- Gilroy tried to make a cute move at the blue line with 9 minutes left in the 2nd that resulted in a 2 on 0 of Miami. Milan made a nice stop.
- But man Gilroy was smooooooth
- Colby Cohen with a major clanger with about 6 mins left in the 2nd.
- Jason Lawrence all alone in front with 4:30 mins left in the 2nd. Shoot into the goalies chest. (Find a corner Jason! )
- Shots were 14-14 with 4:26 left in the 2nd.
- BU was SHUT DOWN in the 3rd. Miami's neutral zone game was outstanding and BU had no answer.
- Shots are 3-1 Miami in the 3rd with 8:40 left in the game. Yikes.
- Miami's 2nd goal was just like their 1st. Rebound laying lonely, forward swoops in and buries it.
- BU takes a penalty with 6:22 left down a goal. Oooof.
- Bad turnover by ShattDeuces lead to the 3rd Miami goal.
- The 100 Foot stares on the BU bench were..... Wow. No chance they win this game. Zero.
- Watching the BU fans clap politely after the 2nd BU goal is a riot. A bit of a different reaction after the 3rd BU goal.
- 1.1 seconds and Milan almost gagged it up
- BU was outshooting Miami 7-3 with 10 mins left in OT

A truly stunning game. An interesting re-watch.

To convert the remaining games will likely take about 1.5 TB of space, so I've been looking at 4 TB NAS. The cost for the one I'm likely to buy is $330 total. As for making all the games available online, that could cost another $100-$200 depending on what option I choose. If I do get the new NAS and more online space I will also consider coverting tapes sent to me.
