The Terriers, who were desperately looking to tie up the game, had been down 1-0 since halfway through the first period.

“I’m hoping for one of those small miracles that somehow after those 59 and a half minutes you find a way to get a puck past [Lacasse],” Durocher said of his thought process during the last 10 seconds of regulation. “You’re really thinking she’s going to be our Tournament MVP, and we couldn’t score against her.

  1. Brian Doucher needs to teach Parker how to win an OT game.

    • You are a pathetic, idiotic troll who needs to get a life, then get a clue. You *think* you’re funny with the daily, incessant Parker bashing, but you’re merely an embarrassment to college hockey fans (and sports fans in general).

  2. Great win, watched the NESN broadcast, beat Cornell!
