Greatest Moments in Frozen Four History

Re: Greatest Moments in Frozen Four History

If 2002 comes up most people would pick the OT goal, but because it saved the game I'd vote for the tying goal followed by the Polish Leap (and Miracle-like celebration) as being pretty hard to top.

Pffft one goal in a minute? Piece of cake.;)
 
Re: Greatest Moments in Frozen Four History

I'm biased but this is definitely #1 in my book:

Abdelkader's game winner with 18.9 left in 2007 for MSU is my favorite.


Somebody already brought this game up but does anybody have video of that DU/Maine 6 on 3? I remember trying to find it but it seemed to be nowhere...

That was the latest regulation game winner in Frozen Four history.


I also agree with the 3OT Maine/Michigan semifinal in 1993. I was 9 years old sitting in the very top row of the Bradley Center for that one at the opposite end of the ice, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. The tension in the building was unlike anything I can remember in a college hockey game.

That was only one OT. :p
The 3OT game was in Providence two years later.

Agreed (sorry ME fans).

Good stuff... though the winning goal is up there as well.
 
Re: Greatest Moments in Frozen Four History

1973, The Badgers came within five
seconds of never having a shot at the title
at all. That’s how much time was left on
the Boston Garden clock when Wisconsin
tied Cornell 5-5 to send the semifinal game
into sudden-death overtime. Wisconsin had
made an incredible comeback after Cornell
jumped out to a 4-0 lead midway through
the second period. The Badgers narrowed it
to 4-2 on goals by Norm Cherrey and Dennis
Olmstead, but Cornell scored their fifth
goal only 40 seconds into the final period.
Then started the Wisconsin comeback.
Junior Gary Winchester scored midway
through the period to narrow Cornell’s
lead to two goals and with 3:11 to go senior
Jim Johnston scored to bring Wisconsin
within one goal. With 43 seconds left in the
game Badger coach Bob Johnson pulled
goaltender Dick Perkins to put a sixth skater
on the ice. With the Wisconsin net wide
open, freshman center Dennis Olmstead
continually won important face-offs as the
Badgers controlled the puck. Cornell never
even got a shot on the Wisconsin open net
and coach Johnson said afterwards, “We
never lost our poise.”
Even with the seconds ticking
down to zero, Olmstead passed in front of
the Cornell net to sophomore Dean Talafous
who poked it in and the game was tied
5-5.
The unbelievable comeback
continued into overtime, and at one point
Cornell had a two-man breakaway, but Perkins
made the save. With 33 seconds left in
the overtime period, Olmstead centered the
puck to freshman Steve Alley, Alley’s shot
was blocked, but the rebound came to Talafous
and this time he scored the winner.

Denver holding off Maine's 6 on 3 advantage for over a minute in the closing seconds of the 2004 nat'l title game has got to be on anyone's top 10 FF highlight list. It was a turkey shoot!

A turkey shoot, then Maine should have had Sergeant York. :D

Northern Michigan over Boston University 7-6 in 3OT at the old St. Paul Civic Center.

That was my 1st Frozen Four. Missing a few, this year will my 17th.

After reading these posts, there have been so many great finals and semi-finals in the past 20 years.

Worst ending to an emotional game/series/season I've ever witnessed in person. :(
