Hockey is the only sport where you know 100% that the game is going to end in a split second.
- Football allows for two possessions in some cases (all cases in college)
- Basketball is a timed period.
- Baseball allows both teams a chance to bat
- Soccer, in most cases, is not sudden death.
All of these sports have the POSSIBILITY of a sudden ending, but only hockey offers the GUARANTEE of it, which is amazing for a neutral and terrifying when you have a rooting interest in the outcome.
CJ Costabile ... sigh.
I can remember wins over AL-Huntsville (granted, it killed us in the next game), Michigan in the national semifinals, and now Clarkson. And didn't we win one of the regional games last year in OT? Providence maybe?
Won 3-2 in OT in Cincinnati.
Lost to them in Minnesota in OT 4-3.
By my count 6 wins 2 losses:
2007 2OT win over UAH in regional 1st
2008 OT win over UM in FF
2011 OT win over Merrimack in regional 1st
2014 OT loss to SCSU in regional 1st
2016 OT loss to UM in regional 1st
2017 OT win over UML in regional final
2018 OT win over MTU in regional 1st
2019 OT win over CLK in regional 1st
Providence was round 2 in regulation. Though I believe we beat them in OT in the Hockey East semis or finals our last season in HE.
