ECAC Hockey Video of the week (9/12/11): 1979 ECAC Quarterfinals - Cornell vs. Providence

Since I dropped some history knowledge on you all last week, I thought I would show a historic video this week. This vintage vid is from the ECAC Quarterfinals in 1979. The game is between former ECAC member Providence and perennial league power Cornell, and takes place at Lynah Rink.

With 16 minutes left in the game the Friars held a commanding 5-1 lead over the Big Red. But, Cornell stormed back with four late third period goals, including one with 13 seconds left. They carried the momentum into overtime and prevailed with a dramatic 5-4 overtime victory in one of the greatest games in ECAC Hockey history.
