I loved Gibbons hit on Gryba.

How about when Sullivan laid out Gerbe? That was one too where I was shocked Gerbe bounced up so quickly.
Didn't Sullivan break Gerbe's nose on that hit?
Big hit not yet mentioned: Scott Shaunessy on ???? in the 1986 Beanpot (Part of the Battle of Comm Ave video.) Dude broke a pain of glass in the Garden.
Favorite BU-BC game? All of the BU wins.

I loved Gibbons hit on Gryba.![]()
One of the more recent ones that I don't believe has been mentioned is BU's 5-4 OT victory at Conte in early 2010. Game winner came on a patented Colby slapper from the point. As I recall, however, Muse didn't start in net that night...
I think Melissa has a great picture of it, I'll dig it up

You recall correctly. Didn't BC score late in that one to tie or am I making that one up?
i think you are right, Kreider ties it up late (i think BC was down 2 in the third) and BU wins on a deflected shot, maybe a patented Colby slapper but it was a deflection IIRC
edit, Mullane tied it up, just checked

Picture would show everyone standing around caus the play was dead when the little midget ran him![]()
Ahhh a BU PP awarded with 39 seconds left in regulation of a tie game. Money well spent by Jack.

YES, this was also the game where tough guy Vinny Saponari batted the puck out of mid air into the net and BU fans everywhere acted like it was the greatest goal ever.
Did you see the goal? If not you can follow the link below and wait for highlight #1 at the end of the video.

Apparently some non-BU fans thought it was pretty good too.
From my perspective, that's made it even funnier. Not only did Gibbons drop that dumb turd like a bad habit (and really if anyone deserved to get it, it was Gryba), he got away with it being somewhat late...I really thought it was borderline but certainly would have understood if it was called.
