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.
