Down two to start the third to the defending champions and Montgomery nets a
hat trick in the third period to give Maine the win. Sounds pretty exciting
to me!
I actually thought 1999 Maine/UNH was a better game. Maine went up 2-0,
then almost went ahead 3-0, but Jason Vitorino had skated through the corner
of the crease and the goal was disallowed. Not long after that the Wildcats
found a then freshman named Darren Haydar out of the penalty box for a
breakaway goal and the game changed. UNH went on to tie the game and it
took overtime to decide it when Marcus Gustafsson collected a rebound of his
own shot and beat Ty Conklin.
I was privledged to be in Providence for the Maine/Michigan triple-overtime
thriller, which is the best hockey game I've ever seen. But I've thought a
lot about the 99 final with the Maine/UNH matchup looming on Thursday. I
think that we are going to witness another classic.
