Hard to argue with that.  As far as other contenders in the
"amazing feats" category, add Blaine Lacher's (LSSU)
shutout streak near the end of 1993-94.  I don't have a guide
handy, but I *believe* the final count was 375:01!
 
From memory, he gave up a goal early in a game (first couple
of minutes), then shut the opponents down for the rest of the
night.  He followed that with five consecutive shutout games,
bringing the streak to almost 360 minutes.  In the CCHA
championship game, Michigan's Brian Wiseman broke
the streak late in the first period.  (In a beautiful moment of
irony, Lacher's shutout streak ended as the Lakers were
shutout by Michigan for the CCHA title.  However, LSSU's
revenge was sweet as they dumped the Wolverines in the
NCAA quarterfinals one week later.)
 
Another amazing "feat" which doesn't really fit into an
established category involved Lacher in the 1993 NCAA
title game.  Trailing LSSU 4-2 entering the third period, Maine
SR Jim Montgomery converted a natural hat trick in the
third period, all on feeds by FR Paul Kariya, to give the
Black Bears the title.  The feat is more interesting in that
the three points brought Kariya to 100 for the season and
allowed Montgomery to surpass 300 for his career.
