I note that they studiously avoided mentioning that he coughed up the puck that became Yale's second goal last Saturday night.  But everything else is pretty much true - when needed, he stepped up, and I think he's on his way to becoming a very good player.

Have to put up this plug from the article.
QuoteSean Whitney didn't choose Cornell simply because he liked the band, though.

Damn, he's got a skinny neck.  Or his shirt's way too big...
