Outside of National Championships, one of the Boston College men’s hockey games that I have the most distinct memories of is BC’s 5-4 triple overtime win over the UNH Wildcats in the 2008 Hockey East semifinals. Honestly I sometimes forget that this was just the semifinal game, because the Eagles easily took out UVM 4-0 to win the trophy, a much more forgettable result than the stress-fest that was the UNH game.
UNH went up 2-0 early in this game, and increased the lead to 3-1 midway through the second period. A 3-1 lead with half the game to go is certainly not insurmountable, so by this point I was nervous but hadn’t completely given up hope.
