I've read and heard many times that Merrimack's upset was the first ever HockeyEast #8 seed upset over a #1 seed and also undeniably the biggest upset ever in HockeyEast and possibly college hockey. Well, what do you call Northeastern's quarterfinal victory over BC in 1991? That year's Huskie team finished with a 8-25-2 record despite their playoff heroics whereas Merrimack is now a more respectable 11-25-1. So, the title of biggest upset ever also can be argued.
