Commentators open up talking about how "special" this tournament is. In the background you can see Harvard taking the ice and there are zero fans in the stands. Zero. I am not making this up.

Danny Biega turnover leads to #3. WHRB announcers are really ranking on them.

Dang. I'm working in Cambridge this week, so I was hoping to get to the early game to watch the sucking. Maybe I'll head over for the late game.

5-0, getting very chippy, Ryan Grimshaw of Harvard out with a 10-minute misconduct before the goal, Harvard's Luke Greiner gets a 10-minute misconduct after.

6-0 now, Richter yanked with 5:58 to go.
And another Harvard player gone: Moriarty off for two minutes for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct.

God. If this happens every year, why is the ECAC bending over backwards to accommodate the schedules for this garbage team?
Are we sure Tufts or MIT doesn't have a club team to replace Harvard in this thing? I'm sure they can take their pounding better and bring more fans, too.

Ah, my favorite sports "columnist" to hate, Dan Shaughnessy had the following piece of dreck titled "In a truly sorry state" in today's Boston Globe:
Oh, provincial, provincial, provincial New England. Harvard were always the ones giving us guff for having *gasp* Canadians from our internationally-known institution on our hockey team. Now they're criticized because they don't have enough "local boys." What goes around, comes around.
Hey Dan, maybe you and Doug Woog can go get a drink somewhere while the rest of the world goes elsewhere.

Here’s what really killed me. Last night’s Harvard roster had only one guy from Massachusetts (Chris Huxley of Weymouth). Harvard had 11 players from Canada, one from Sweden, and one from Croatia. Boston University, last year’s national champion, featured two kids from Massachusetts (out of 21). Northeastern had four Bay Staters and Boston College a whopping 11.
Not to sound like a WTKK talk show host, but the lack of locals took something out of it for me.

Shaughnessy comes across as somewhere between factual/lamenting and whiny. Massachusetts isn't producing the level of players as before, or other places, including New York State, turned up the heat. Better that BC and BU shop around for talent and win back to back national titles.

The complaint seems especially silly in regards to Harvard, where the student body as a ole is not (I assume) dominated by local kids. Why should the hockey team be all Bay Staters when everyone else isn't?RichH

Shaughnessy is a douche. Last year he proclaimed BU's win over Miami to have been the greatest college hockey game ever. Made me wonder if he ever watched any other games, given that during last year's playoffs alone, you could easily have picked 4 or 5 other games that were just as good.

I didn't think Shaughnessy was criticizing any of the schools. He was lamenting the changing (disappearing?) face of Massachusetts hockey.

The Boston Globe from the Red Sox Series of the 1970s through the late 1980s was the 1927 Yankees of newspaper sportswriting. Other than a couple Boston Herald-level guys writing college hockey, it was like reading Sports Illustrated 7 days a week, only the ink came off on your hands. People like Bob Ryan have gone from boy wonders to borderline retirement age, but they still have more good days than bad.

Shaughnessy is a douche.
This is a truer fact than 1+1=2 for base n > 2. I used to read his articles every now and again, as a sort of morbid curiosity. But these days I actively stay away from him -- I don't want to give him the page clicks.

Harvard freshman defenseman Danny Biega will miss Monday’s Beanpot consolation game against Northeastern after receiving a league-imposed suspension for a check from behind in Friday night’s road contest against Brown.

Looks like the League took the high road. The self-interested move would have been to drag their feet for a day and then hit him with a suspension to be served during the next League game.

Outscored this year 10-1 in the Beanpot. Why does the league bend over backwards to facilitate this again?

Yeah, that's standard at the TD Garden. I think there's one at Nassau, or wherever the Islanders play, as well. Not sure if the Sabres have one, for some reason I think they do. Definitely an interesting way to advertise the winery, but not as creative as writing it on a goat.
