2 Goals In 42 Seconds!!! Can BU Complete The Greatest Comeback In the History of Sports? YES!!
Are you shitting me? Down 2 goals with 1 minute left in the National Championship game and BU gets 2 goals in 42 seconds? Unbelievable! If they pull this off this will instantly become one of the top 5 greatest comebacks of all time. Maybe the best. I don’t know. I don’t want to commit to anything until I have time to think about it. Regardless, nothing beats OT hockey with the championship on the line. This should be fun.
FINAL SCORE IN OT
BU 4 – Miami OH 3
Let the debate begin. Considering the circumstances was this the greatest comeback of all time?
Fucking ridiculous
I hate BU, but good for Boston if they win.
WOW
Great comeback…
More important, Bruins/Canadians is now definite since Pittsburgh beat Montreal tonight.
Game 1 Thursday Game 2 Saturday.
Keep those Canadian fuckers out of the building, close the border!!!
Hockey sucks, and BU is EXTREMELY overrated, but they seem to score at will. I was paying a little attention to BU vs. Vermont because of ESPN Beat the Streak, BU was up like 3-0 early. Looked back a period later, the score was 3-3. Then Vermont was up 4-3 so I drowned some children in disgust. Next day, I looked at the box score, the final was 5-4 BU somehow.
And this isn’t close to the top 5 comebacks of all time.
Not so fast Sully…..2 down with a minute ot go in a championship game and you win? Tell me 5 better comebacks than that.
Like hockey or not, lets be fair here.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!?!?!?
red sox comeback against yankees in 04 was greatest ever.
Agreed on Red Sox Yankees winning 4 straight.
However, this would be like being down 4 or 5 runs in the 9th of Game 7 with 2 out and winning.
Sully, “Hockey Sucks” you must be a soccer fan you pussy!
Best comeback in college hockey history, probably not greatest comeback of all time though.
two goals in 42 seconds with under a minute is simply amazing. I don’t even know what to compare it to. The Sox thing while amazing is just different. There was no singular moment where they the odds looked as bad as it did for BU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHkABO0VwCg
old video but whenever someone talks about a great comeback, i always show them this
I wonder how they cheated their way into this one. Fuckers…
cheated their way in? #1 all season
killed 7 power plays tonight alone
love the ‘stool hopping on the bandwagon tonight
No, because to be considered for the all time comeback list, you can’t be a minor college sport, thats played by like only 10 schools in the entire country.
That’s like bragging about the diving team at memphis institute of technology stealing a win from rival Tennessee college of cooking, with a triple back pike thingy.
that was the greatest comeback of all time. i know this because i shit all over myself. i usually never do that.
And if you haven’t heard CUE THE FUCKING DUCKBOATS
Parade down Comm Ave on Tuesday
Sully, you’re calling a team “EXTREMELY overrated” in a sport you admittedly don’t like or watch. Did the boxscore tell you how overrated they were? Let me guess, UNC hoops sucked too? Moron.
Great game. Tough loss for Miami, but they’re young, so should be back
Top 5 greatest comebacks? I don’t know but definitely worth the argument.
I just can’t believe what I saw. I too had to change because I jizzed in my pants
Wow Miami must feel like shit since they’ve never won anything
http://tiny.cc/CO8x4
I guess I’m just being a little bitch because I’m not a fan of hockey whatsoever but off here are some off the top of my head that are certainly up there in the comeback argument:
Bills/Oilers ’93 obviously
Yankees/Red Sox ’04
Illinois/Arizona ’05 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTbE4eC-AIc
That monday night Colts/Bucs game fro ’03
This ridiculous shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceLlz7dOOvY&feature=related
I can think of 5 better comebacks no problem. However, I can’t think of 10 better comebacks. The game was great. I have been a BU fan for a long time. So I am putting it in The Top 10 Greatest Comebacks Ever, hands down.
As a former UVM student and hockey player/fan. I knew BU was the best team in America. When Miami went up 3-1 you knew the game still had time for BU to come back. The last 3 minutes when Millan was pulled was the sickest attack ive ever witnessed. BU showed great grit, determination, and heart, and skill!!!
I love UVM, but shit…let’s face it. BU is the tits!
Fair enough, Sully. Impressive top 5 there, for sure
Either way, it was an incredible comeback…
Sully you are kind of missing the big picture here. This was a National Championship Game. Winner take all. And BU had their goalie pulle down 2 with less than a minute left. The odds of scoring one never mind 2 goals is astronomical! What they did is just crazy! This was by far a top 5 comeback! There is NO debate!
Racki, to say there is “NO debate” would mean you are the one missing the big picture. It was an incredible comeback, but is certainly up for debate of a top 5 spot. I would rank it in my top 5, but Sully just dropped 5 games that are certainly worthy of debate
Oh, and watch out for Youngblood…he’s been training in the barn with his father & brother
Incredible game! To score two goals in less than a minute to go is just amazing. It may not be on a big time scale but if you are a sports fan you have to love seeing something like this. I liked the stat that BU is undefeated when Nick Bonino gets a point and he had an assist on the second goal and the game tier. Tough goal to lose on but just fantastic to watch.
FINE…
Listen up BU because I’m saying this once,
I’ll let you chill here in the top 5 for like a week or two. but if you don’t start paying rent soon… look I don’t want to be a dick or anything, you know that. I’m just saying it wouldn’t hurt to start looking for some part time work or something, man. Just to get the money flowing a little, you know?
Sniper I say its a no-debate because I only place these greatest games/greatest comebacks into a title game only forum. Sure there have been great regular season and 1st round playoff games etc, but nothing compares to a National Championship Game or a winner take all game such as the Super Bowl…
Oh and did you know they are making a Youngblood remake! Cant remake these classics. I mean will Keanue Reeves play goalie again?
Ahh, it is certainly in my top 5 title game combacks.
Are you kidding? That is just tragic. If you want to feel old, google Fionnula Flanagan…that’s Ms McGill!!!! “Does little boom boom have a crush on her?”
very homerish but red sox vs rays game 5 last year sox down 7-0 top 7th 2 outs 2 strikes on pedroia he gets a hit, they come back and win
i luckily switched over to espn when there was about 2:30 left in this game, it was right before Miami scored their 3rd goal. i said out loud “man, its pretty cool that miami is going to win their first national title in anything ever”.
sorry to ben roethlisberger and every other shmoemoe from miami(oh)!!
p.s. i count 6 potential smokeshows in that crowd pic
p.p.s. reggie miller vs. new york knicks (doesn’t matter if reggie pushed off)
Awesome game, glad to see BU win it all, but I don’t think it was top 5. It should be, but its college hockey, and everyone will forget about this game in a year. When some team has a great comeback next year and everyone wans to talk about that one being top 5, no one will bring this game up.
Also uhh.. BYU/SMU Holiday Bowl ’80: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b55Tn_YbLK8
The more important the game is, the bigger the comeback. This was the championship game. They didn’t have a goalie in net for the last 3:30. This was fucking enormous. If it was a regular season game it would just be great. To win the title this way is fucking huge.
As of 10pm tonight the entire Miami of Ohio Mens Ice Hockey Team has been placed on a mandatory life-long Suicide Watch simply because you dont ever live long enough to forget about how humiliating/devistating that loss was
This game was unbelievable!! I counted them out and I had been rooting for them…
Sully,
You got to put together a list that include Championship games only.
Hockey blows. This was fucking amazing.
Fuck all yall
Sometimes you walk out of the movies on a Friday night and you loved it but you might not even buy it when it comes out on DVD this was a amazing finish to a Huge game top 5 is reserved for games we use to measure other games against 5 years from now. Yanks Sox ALCS is the Casa BLanca and Tom Brady’s game winning drives in the superbowl is the Godfather trilogy… BU two goals in 42sec is just a summer blockbuster at this point i’m gonna wait on this one…
had the bar i was working @ cheering in a town where UMO black bears are the biggest show in town
how can any self respecting man say hockey sucks? did you happen to catch the bruins/Canadians game the other day?
what pussy shit are you watching sully?
easily top 5 comebacks ever.
I cannot wait until Jack Parker retires and BU stops getting every call their way. Granted tonight was a great game and BU actually made an effort to win…all Hockey East will hear about for the next 5 years is how great this BU team was and how much of a genious JP is. Congratulations to all you BU fans that abandoned the team for the past 2 years…you have your championships and now you can hop back on the band wagon…at least i will be able to sleep knowing BC didn’t pull one of out nowhere again
fuck BU, northeastern is not only better than those fuckin terriers, we have more NHL-ready talent than them too..i dont giv a fuck evne if gilroy won the hobey baker, he cna suck my ballsack..and doesnt brandon yip know that asians dont belond on the fuckin ice
sully, you prolly cant even skate you fuckin plug. what do you play basketball, where you put a ball in the hole. dude, that was prolly the best college hockey game of all time. 2 goals in 42 second, are you shitting me???? honestly do you have any heart for any of the boston sports?…bc last year…bu this year…bruins maybe????? sully you for sure own a pair of double runners
Listen. I was there. It was phenomenal. I drove down from BU at 4:30 am on Thursday and prolly spent about $320. Easily the best three twenty I have ever spent.
Seeing Z. Cohen throw that backhander in to make it 3-2 then one of the most calm, cool, and collected maneuvering and pass from Captain Hobey was simply a thing of beauty. That comeback will be remembered by that tying goal and the eventual deflection that led to the championship, but what will be forgotten by many is the balls it took for Parker to say fuck it and pull Millan with 3:32 left. It was a championship quality move by Parker. He may be hated by many outside of the BU community, but making that move was ballsy as fuck.
The entire weekend was insane. Two games. Two comebacks. And this one will go down as one of the greatest of all time. I don’t know where it will end up in everyone’s personal rankings, but a comeback after being down 3-1 with a minute left in a championship game (against a goalie that had only given up 4 goals all tournament) absolutely has to be considered in any top five conversation.
National Fuckin’ Champs! Congrats to all the players!
That game was unreal. Bring on the Frogs for Thursday!
did my post not make it past moderation because i said they were jumping on a bandwagon?
BU is nasty! Killed 7 power plays!
Did anyone else hear barry melrose say it was a good idea for M-Ohio not to take that timeout?? Too bad Barry still isn’t a coach, but it was great hearing Garry on the call again.
As a rule i hate everything BU and BC due to the smug nature of those little pricks. However, last night was the sickest thing i think i have ever seen in my life. Greatest hockey game ever, and probably top three comebacks of all time.
P.S. between the Bruins Montreal game the other night and this hockey is really kicking ass in boston as of late. Gotta love it.
I was at the game. And that shit was incredible. Cue the mother fuckin duckboats!!
the greatest college comback of all time is held at a small school in connecticut called trinity, in the sport of squash. one man, Gustav detter, holds the greatest comback of all time, in maby any sport in the world.

haha, i love how your all time list is just boston teams. i would tell you that sports does exist outside of new england but you wouldnt know that since you just started watching them in 2004.
douchebag…
If a tree falls and nobody is around does it make a noise?
Nobody watches Hockey in more then half of the US. Therefore it cant be a great comeback if nobody cares about that sport.
Stick to the major sports for your Best of comments …
Normally I root against BU but anyone questioning this year’s team’s ability and execution under pressure is as dense as the day is long.
Parker pulled the goalie with three and a half mins left which was brilliant.
EASILY Top 5 Comebacks of all time, if you dont respect and enjoy college hockey than you probably shouldn’t follow sports, period.

I’m still waiting for those copies, Mike. And please grab me a cup of coffee on your way back. Chop chop.
how is it that pres hasnt put up a blog about barstool being in ESPN the mag already?!?
did he read it and automatically snuff out??
shoota2000 i got a bone to pick you with you, sully wait your turn. Alright shoota (seriously dude, you gotta be that ghetto here) hockey IS a major sport, and this is fucking boston dude, hockey is HUGE in boston. Ya you, and many others in the country aren’t smart enough to follow such a face paced, cerebral game (if you need a definition of cerebral, just ask), I suggest you go watch nascar, constant left turns might be more up your alley.
Sully, your a clown, and you have no idea what you’re talking about. Red Sox in 04, ummmmm that was 4 games, were talking about a single game here. This was the National Fucking Championship game, winner take all, and people around the world were turning off their TV sets saying, well, what an upset. You clearly don’t understand hockey, so I’ll forgive you for not understanding the magnitude of the comeback. DEFINITELY top 5, probably top 3, challenging for number 1. This was the championship man, not some random fucking bowl game.
I would have to say the Giants beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl was DEFINITELY a MUCH BETTER comeback than this!
Tigger Oh my god you are such a fool, thats one drive in football, a touchdown in football is way easier to score than a goal in hockey, no question, scoring two in under a minute is similar to scoring 3 touchdowns in a minute.
No one has mentioned 2004 Stanley Cup playoffs. No. 8 seed Montreal comes back from a 3-1 deficit to edge No. 1 seed and President Cup winner Boston.
now see if the patriots had comeback with the :35 that were still on the clock i would think about agreeing, but still probably not. game winning drive does not necessarily mean greatest comeback, especially since it was a tight game the entire way.
cardinals vs. steelers would have been great this year (down 20-7 with like 8 minutes left)
i wish this wasnt a thread started by hockey so i could pull out “hey courtsdad, thats because no one watches hockey, ya jabroni!!” damnit
Too bad people are missing the context of the question:
1) 1 game
2) Championship at stake
3) Seemingly insurmountable situation
Doesn’t matter if you love/hate hockey or love/hate Boston, the fact is that to play last 3:30 with an empty net and down 2 goals in the National Champioship game (against a quality opponent who had outplayed them most of game) and still comeback and win, this has to be considered in the GOAT conversation……
It is apples/oranges to compare to “best-of” series or regular season games, or even playoff games before Finals or not an elimination game for both teams like a Game 7 (e.g. Celtics comebacks vs. Nets in 02 or Lakers last year Finals—sad to see those 2 not mentioned as both were incredible but series wouldn’t have been over yet)..
remember from EP:
“Let the debate begin. Considering the circumstances was this the greatest comeback of all time?”—key word is circumstances..

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds? BC is a safety school! BC alums are the ones making fucking copies! You probably have a job in sales! Your misplaced arrogance makes me laugh.
Jacoby Ellsbury might be the most overrated player this town has ever seen. The guy has no bat. He should be batting 9th. It just ain’t gonna happen for this kid.

Great comeback…
More important, Bruins/Canadians is now definite since Pittsburgh beat Montreal tonight.
Game 1 Thursday Game 2 Saturday.
Keep those Canadian fuckers out of the building, close the border!!!
LOL, you stupid American!!!
Hoe do you think the Bruins would so without 15 Canadians on their roster.
Go Patriots.
Jets suck donkey balls.

Elisbury was an abortion (usually a good thing in Boston) as a fantasy player last year. He had a decent first half in steals and sucked the rest.
Osama,
Go wash your ass with the ass-tonic of getting rid of the greatest hitter in Sox history.
Then fuck me, im loaded
biggest comeback in sports history? Cmon. Red Sox in 04. BU can’t say anything about that.

Why am I still pissed about this? Usually I only stay mad this long when a team I like loses, not when a team I fucking hate wins.
im a BC fan but def have to give credit to BU, they did great all year and a lot of their players like hoby baker winnner gilroy and millan deserved a big win like this…idk about greatest comeback of all time but its up there….btw Sully your a fucking idiot and should not post again on this your just making yourself sound like a complete jackass
Snelgrove Sniper said: { Apr 11, 2009 – 10:04:09 }
Great game. Tough loss for Miami, but they’re young, so should be back
They are a fucking university team so of course they are young – except perhaps if they come from Springfield or Vermont where the average age for passing high school is 35.
