Frozen Four Championship - Miami University vs. Boston University - 04/11/09 (Part 2)

Boston University took home its fifth national title in dramatic fashion, scoring twice in the final minute of regulation to tie the game at 3 before winning it in overtime. Chris Connolly gave BU the lead 1-0 in the first period, but Miami tied the game on a rebound goal by Gary Steffes. In the third period, goals from Tommy Wingels and Trent Vogelhuber gave the Redhawks a 3-1 lead late in the game, but with the goalie pulled, Zach Cohen was able to sneak a backhander past Miami goalie Cody Reichard to make the score 3-2 with less than one minute remaining. Nick Bonino one-timed the tying goal home to stun the excited crowd off a brilliant backhanded pass from Hobey Baker winner and Terrier co-captain Matt Gilroy. Finally, in overtime, with over 11 minutes gone, Corey Trivino won a battle along the boards to get the puck to Chris Connolly, who passed it to Kevin Shattenkirk. The sophomore defenseman skillfully dropped a pass behind his back for his partner Colby Cohen, who blasted a shot into the sliding body of Miami defenseman Kevin Roeder. The puck bounced up and landed in the Miami net, giving BU the victory.

Well its just my opinion that they should change from the short to the long version like Miami did after they scored a goal, hell the team's effort deserved it and the BU fight song is great!

[olo567]

They could certainly do that, but the student fans have the expectation of doing their chants, too. The full fight song is still at the end of each period. I get what you're saying though. I'm sure the team knew the effort was appreciated.

Like the Miami fight song , their band does a nice job after their goals,better than BU band after their goals. Still happy BU won though, been a Terrier fan for 35 years.

Really? Don't think many would agree with you, the BU band is terrific. The problem is that you can't hear them. Wonder why that could be, was the arena loud or something? :-p

[letsgodonk]

I didn't mean to knock the BU band its just that listening on TV during the Final they could have played longer and repeated the melody more like the Miami band did. I know they are good I attended many games this year, I just think that they were so shocked BU tied it late with two goals that their presentation was limited, I don't thonk the crowd noise was a factor as there were more cheering for Miami and coach Parker attested to that.

[olo567]

There may have been more people rooting for Miami, but the building was nowhere near as loud when they scored as it was the final 3 times that BU scored, trust me, I was there. They always play the short version of the fight song when we score, then there is the drum+sieve chant.
