14 March

2003: Boston University outlasted Boston College, 6-5, in double overtime, in the Hockey East semifinals at TD BankNorth Garden. Justin Maiser's second goal (video) sent the game into overtime. He completed his hattrick in the second extra session to win it (video).

1974: In Jack Parker's first year as Terrier head coach (he succeeded Leon Abbott six games into the season), BU reached the Final Four meeting Minnesota in the semifinal. The Gopher's held a 4-2 lead in the third period, but two goals by freshman Rick Meagher--one on a brilliant end-to-rush--tied the score. With regulation time winding down, BU went on the power play, but Mike Polich of Minnesota picked up a loose puck, skated in and beat goalie Ed Walsh for a 5-4 win.
