I guess I will allow my bias to show through.  When this thread started I
immediately thought of the 1988 semifinals and the SLU win over Minnesota.
That game was incredible.  It seemed unreal that we were actually at Lake
Placid and playing against Minnesota.  It was the battle of the little school
against the giant.  And that giant had the Hobey Baker winner.  If I remember
correctly, the winning goal came very late in the 3 rd.  Pete Lappin scored
all three of our goals.  He was outstanding.  Even the loss to Lake Superior
couldn't ruin the thrill of that victory for me.  And that is saying a lot
considering that loss is still hard to take.  I still flashback to that game
when a net comes off its mooring/posts/magnets.
 
( I even enjoy remembering the consolation game between Minnesota and Maine.
There were long stoppages in play for sorting out penalties and the goalies
(Stauber and ?) tried to pass the puck between themselves to pass the time.
The officials took the puck away.  Was this the last consolation game in the
NCAAs?)
