What is your favorite playoff moment?

Re: What is your favorite playoff moment?

Turning to the two BU fans we sold tickets to in DC with a minute in half left and saying, "This ain't over yet." Watching their emotions change during the remaining time in regulation. Then having the Michigan fans sitting on the other side returning from the concourse to say the souvenir guy told the this lady trying to buy a half dozen "Miami University NCAA Champion shirts that she had to go back and watch the game...

The wife and I just shake our heads and say that's why we love hockey.

I was at this game and you pegged the emotions perfectly. It was certainly the loudest roar I've ever heard in a hockey arena.

That was it, the overtime was very tense and it brought back memories of MN and Harvard at the Civic center when the puck hit a break in the boards and Harvard put it in (BTW the lowest point in my playoff life).
That whole year was so good, knowing I was going to the game and I knew in September the Gophers would be there.

4 OT game between BU and St Lawrence. I remember watching the game and having to leave to go to a spring game during the second OT and when I got home it was still on. Also I was at the 2011 UMD vs Michigan championship game and that was pretty cool.

I was at that BU-SLU game and that was quite memorable. Not only did that game take 6 hours to play but it was only the opening game of a doubleheader as Maine and Michigan had to sit around in the locker rooms for hours waiting for the first game to end. And then their game almost went to overtime with the game winner coming in the last minute of regulation. Unbelievably long day, but unforgettable.

Of course my favorite moment was not the 1985 Championship Game, but the semi-final the night before against Minnesots-Duluth. Adam Oates and John Carter for RPI facing Brett Hull and Hobey Baker winner Bill Watson for UMD. A 6-5 RPI win in triple OT that everyone in the building knew was the national championship game.

How was the Maine vs. Michigan game after SLU vs. BU when SLU vs. BU was the regional final and we went to the Frozen Four after that win?
 
Re: What is your favorite playoff moment?

Maine won THAT game 5-2
The game that almost went into overtime was in 2003 at Yost ice arena

Correction... That was 2000 in Albany

I remember this being in 2000 in Albany to advance us to the Frozen Four, which leads to wonder how would there be a game immediately after if it was a regional final? I don't recall too much from back then as I was only a teen so I could be missing something ;)

Each regional advanced 2 teams to the frozen 4

My favorite point is when the number of zealots predicting or borrowing glory from "their" team is reduced to one, and sensible observers can begin to analyze causes and effects - and what comes next.

Same one as I posted last year. Was at this game and can't remember being so tense at a sporting event for such a protracted amount of time. It felt like sudden death from about the start of the third period on.

I was there too and it gets my vote. Swear that game took several years off my life.

As far as non-UW moment, I thought this game was pretty awesome as a young kid.

In the 1997 F4, we were sitting next to some Michigan fans during the final. Whenever there was a "Let's go Sioux" chant they would scream "Let's go Blue." The entire game. I found that pretty amusing as a kid.

I'm going back to the 1985 Hockey East inaugural tournament when Chris Terreri had 60+saves to stop BC while Providence won the title in double OT on Steve Rooney's goal. It was sweet then and is still sweet today.
 
Re: What is your favorite playoff moment?

My favorite moment is obviously from the 2011 Frozen Four. Being there live seeing my team's first title...no other sports team in my life will feel that great.
