    I'm with Rover. While it's easy to wish for one more second for Tony Amonte, or that Shawn McEachern's puck crossed the line instead of hitting both posts, somehow, 1997 was worse. After beating that Michigan team, there is NO WAY, BU should have lost to a very young North Dakota squad. The "do-over" is to turn the 2nd period from a "5" to a "0"

    I love this thread. Keep 'em coming. Oh, and nice sig BoSox3066.

    I can't believe BC fans haven't brought up 1998 yet. Who hit the post again in OT? It was quite the clanger.

    '98 BC/UM game was it Jamie O'Leary hitting the crossbar?

      As far as I'm concerned, anybody who's seen their team win a national title in the last 20 years is disqualified from having a do-over.

          Re: Your one do-over.

          my do-overs as a BU fan are '91 and '97 with '97 being worse because it was my freshman year in school and our only shot in the national title game during my four years there.

          But since I was in the stadium for the '95 title game, and since I DON'T have to apply a do-over to 2009, I'm going to just call it even.

          Thanks Zach, Matt, Nick and Colby! and to the Miami goalie for not covering the post on the first Cohen goal. you really helped us out there. thank you.

              Re: Your one do-over.

              also: of course I second all sentiments on Travis Roy. I recently read his book, Eleven Seconds. it's just heart-wrenching. if anyone's interested, you can make donations to Travis' foundation here: http://www.travisroyfoundation.org/. they do a lot of great work supporting science and individual grants to people with spinal cord injuries.

              I got a signed letter from Travis after I donated, which made me think: man, he has to put a pen in his mouth even just to write his name. poor guy.

                Just one do over?? Cripes, we need like 8 of them....

                But if I had to pick one it would be against Michigan where Szabo's (I think?) skate was like 2 inches in the crease which cost us a goal and then Harty beating the goaltender on a breakaway only to have the puck roll off his stick..

                  Re: Your one do-over.

                  1992 NCAA Championship UW vs LSSU. UW loses (5-3) in a penalty filled game where the officials were pretty 1 sided against UW. This idoit ECAC ref called the game tighter than a no contact girls game, and even then he left some stuff go and called other ticky tacky stuff. LSSU scored the go ahead 4th goal when the puck snuck between Duane Derksen's pad and the post in the 3rd period. I can see it like it was just yesterday. I can also see like yesterday the gloves and sticks of UW players getting thrown at the empty net goal at the end of the game. An ugly finish to an ugly game. Too bad Duane couldn't get that 2nd NCAA ring...

                          Yes, that game was called much tighter than anyone would like to see in a championship game, but the penalty totals weren't all that one sided. It was something like 12 penalties on UW and 10 on LSSU; whatever the actual figures, there was only a differential of 2. I think there were 3 or 4 two man advantages for LSSU, and 1 for UW, none of which were for a full 2 minutes.

                            It'll put me one over my quota - but I can't let the thread go without mentioning another:

                            That Corey Tropp's stick hadn't made news, and Kampfer Sr. could watch his son play on home ice.

                              Well, so I guess it was a fair fight, then.
