1971: Terriers improved their record to a gaudy 19-1-1 with an 8-3 rout of New Hampshire at Boston Arena. BU jumped to a 3-0 first period lead with markers from John Danby, Guy Burrows and Steve Stirling--all within a two-and-a-half minute span. Second period was a bit more even with the home team scoring three more times and the visitors responding with a pair. Ric Jordan, Bob Gryp and Bob Murray tallied for BU. Jordan's second of the game and a goal by current UMass coach Don "Toot" Cahoon closed out the BU scoring in the third while Dick Umile, now the UNH mentor, scored for the Wildcats. Dan Brady made 26 saves for BU.

1991: Tony Amonte recorded the fastest hattrick in Beanpot Tournament history with a trio of goals with 5:24 of the second period as BU cruised past BC, 8-4, for its XX beanpot championship and 16 win of the season. Amonte earned tournament MVP honors, succeeding Dave Tomlinson who won the honor in 1990. Defenseman Mark Krys scored his first collegiate goal while David Sacco's pair of assists brought him to the 100-career point mark. BU also received goals from Petteri Koskimaki, Peter McCann, Doug Friedman and Mark Bavis. John Bradley stopped 34 shots to earn the win.

23 January

1971: BU’s 14 game unbeaten streak to begin the 70-71 season came to an end at Cornell’s Lynah Rink with the Big Red taking a 5-1 win. Toot Cahoon gave the Terriers a 1-0 lead midway through the first, but Cornell matched it and added a go-ahead goal before the period ended. The defeat left BU still seeking its first-ever win against Cornell—which would come less than two months later in the ECAC tournament.

22 January

1991: Terriers used a four-goal first period to level Lowell, 7-4, and raise their record to 16-6-2. Defenseman Peter Ahola, recorded his second two-goal game of the season, while BU also got goals from Keith Tkachuk, Tony Amonte, David Sacco, Ed Ronan and Chris McCann. John Bradley stopped 20 Lowell shots. Forward Mike Bavis—now BU’s associate head coach—suffered a broken jaw in the game, but would return to the lineup after missing only eight games.

20 December

1971: BU extended its unbeaten streak to 14 games (13-0-1) with a 13-4 thumping of Dartmouth at Boston Arena. Senior wing Wayne Gowing led the attack with four goals and junior wing Bob Gryp recorded a hat trick, while junior Don "Toot" Cahoon added a pair. Singleton by junior Bob Murray, and three sophomores—Steve Dolloff, Ric Jordan and Ron Anderson—rounded out the scoring. Murray also had four assists. Terriers emerged from the first period with a 3-2 lead thanks to Gowing’s first goal; then, following an emphatic between-periods address by Coach Jack Kelley, they exploded to outscore Dartmouth by a 5-1 margin in each of the next two periods.

9 December

1970: In a battle of undefeated teams, BU and Harvard battled to a 4-4 overtime tie at a sold-out Watson Rink. Crimson took an early 1-0 lead when All-American Joe Cavanagh’s ten-footer got past Tim Regan, but the lead lasted just nine seconds with Toot Cahoon scoring, assisted by Steve Stirling and Mike LaGarde. Harvard went ahead again late in the first period on a Bob McManama goal. In the second period BU scored the equalizer when LaGarde sent Stirling in for a point blank shot and then took its first lead on Peter Thornton’s unassisted goal. Harvard knotted the score again on Dave Hynes’ power play goal. BU’s second lead of the game came 30 seconds into the third period on Bob Gryp’s shorthanded goal, assisted by John Danby and Wayne Gowing. But Harvard’s Dan DeMichele got that one back less than two minutes later. Another 23 minutes of action, including the overtime, produced no winner. Regan stopped 23 shots while his counterpart, Bruce Durno, had 26 saves.
