Obviously you remember it clearly. It surprises me that it was Brick as the image in my mind was one of our smaller penalty killing forwards (Kelly Askew came to mind but I didn't think it was him). Brick was not a big guy but he was pretty average sized. I guess that's what you lose in 30 years. I clearly remember, however, being shocked by the call at the time as I thought he batted it in a continuous motion rather than catching it and throwing it

Big fan of Kelly Askew and Jeff Brick... and Neil Hernberg and Terry Butryn. Latter two were very talented pests, alright.

I remember Neil and Terry as a kid, when they would work the RPI hockey camps for kids in the summer. Very nice guys, as well! A few years later, Joe Juneau worked the camps. Fond memories of them all.

When Juneau worked the camps, I remember we were doing some drill where you would line up along the boards at the goal line while you waited your turn to skate. Of course, being kids, we would be lazy and lean up against the boards to get some extra rest before it was our turn to go. Juneau used to skate along the boards with his stick out in front of him and "scrape" us off the boards, as a way of teaching us not to cut corners and to be ready. It was a little window into the personal discipline and attention to detail that made him a great player and, later, youth coach.

FWIW, Cornell lost in similar fashion to Clarkson earlier this year https://www.collegehockeynews.com/box/final/20211204/cor/clk/. Clarkson came back from 4 goals down with less than 6 minutes left. The last 3 were EAGs in the last three minutes with the tying goal at 19:59. Clarkson won in a shootout.

As part of my research into college hockey stats I started to compile information on pulling the goalie at the end of games. I make no claims to my data being definitive or 100% correct, but over the past 4 seasons I have identified 2,268 games when a team has pulled the goalie, including one this season in which both teams had occasion to pull the goalie. Of those there have been just 381 extra attacker goals (16.8%). Further parsing the data shows a goalie been pulled with a team trailing by 3 goals just 224 times and Harvard is just the third team to score 3 extra attacker goals to tie the game up (Princeton at Brown, 2019 ECAC First Round game 2). It's interesting to note that all three games were ECAC games, all involved an Ivy team and 2 of the games were ECAC tournament games. In 2018 Bemidji State also was trailing by 3 goals when they pulled their goalie and the also scored 3 extra attacker goals, but they also gave up an empty net goal to lose, 5-4.

Of interest is that in all four games the coach pulled the goalie with over 3 minutes left:
Bemidji State 3:31 left
Princeton 3:55 left
Clarkson 3:45 left
Harvard 4:42 left
