Ahhh, another voice from the CHDA (College Hockey Dark Ages) echoes across
the land :-) I'm not about to start another flame war re: the "greatest"
game ever played, but having witnessed this game in person I'd have to say
it ranks in my personal Top Five. I was *convinced* for many years (as were
many of the people who were watching with me) that the winning goal was
off-sides, but when this topic came up several years ago on HOCKEY-L someone
chimed in with (paraphrasing) "no it wasn't .... I watched the tape last
night, and it was a legitimate goal."
So tapes of this game *do* exist (it was shown by ESPN on tape delay);
perhaps someone in the SI Office at UMD or BGSU can help you find a source.

[signed] A serious (UNH) Wildcat fan lost in Maryland. But my tickets
arrived today for the final BU-UNH game in Snively Arena, not
to mention the FINAL GAME (vs. the Black Bears) .... Go 'Cats !!
Cheers from Maryland - Jim
