Best individual BU performance in past 25 years

Nominees:

Joe Sacco - BU opposed Northeastern in the Hockey East Quarterfinal Series at Walter Brown Arena in the best-of-three matchup. Northeastern won the first game. BU took the second game. Sacco ensured would advance to the Semi-finals by scoring all five BU goals in the deciding game.

Tony Amonte - Amonte scored a hat trick in slightly more than five minutes against BC in the 1991 Beanpot final.

Shawn McEachern - McEachern's goal in overtime defeated Maine in the 1991 Hockey East Championship game, in as heart-stopping a game as any BU fan could ever watch. Phil von Stefenelli's pass through center ice to Tony Amonte standing just outside the Maine blueline started the play. Amonte slipped the puck over to McEachern who was in full stride. McEachern raced through the slot before tucking a buckhander between Garth Snow's pads.

Chris Drury - Drury scored four goals in a 6-4 win over Boston College. The spree included two shorthanded goalss (one when BU is one man down and one when BU is two men down), an even strength goal and an empty net goal.

Rick DiPietro - Freshman Rick DiPietro stopped more than 80 St. Lawrence shots in BU's epic 4-OT loss in the 2001 NCAA Regional Finals. A goal by Robin Carruthers from just outside the crease decided the affair by a 3 -2 count.
