Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 101: Saturday Morning
1. I thought the NC$$ mandated it after the Vermont-CC game in 1996? The so-called "Vermont Rule"?
2. What is it with CC being the beneficiary of questionable calls in the NCAA tournament?![Wink ;) ;)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
It was unreal to see it in person. I really felt bad for Maine and Michigan I think who were slated to play afterwards, having to wait around for 6 hours. And, given the quality players on that SLU team, Robin Carruthers scored the winning goal. Definitely would have been about my 11th pick heading into OT.
Unfortunately, SLU had 2 awesome freshmen go after the $$ after that year, Derek Gustafson and Brandon Dietrich, both of whom fizzled out in the minors (Gusto played a few games with the Wild, Dietrich got stuck in Hartford). Who knows what may have happened the year after had they stuck around (SLU lost to CC in 2OT in Worcester the next year, due to a phantom crease violation on a goal. Oh, if there was video replay in 2001).
