What a great game to watch!  The power play was incredible.  If they keep that up, life is going to be good.  They weren't forcing the shots but when they had one, they took it.  So pretty.  I was worried in the first period because Yale was doing a great job on the rush.  They were also running an excellent neutral-zone trap and shutting down our players when we tried to get through the neutral zone--we didn't have many odd-man rushes in the first period.  But the second and third periods--wow.  Yay Red!

I think there's not specifically a hockey rivalry between Harvard and yale, but there's such a huge football / academic rivalry that it could possibly be applied to all of the sports in sort of a general way.  My brother was in the band at Harvard (wow, I can't believe I'm admitting that in public!) and all of their hate songs are aimed at yale.  The number of people that show up for the Harvard/Yale football game every year is insane.

and the Oscar goes to Palahicky for the best piece of acting I've ever seen in a hockey game.  About 4 minutes into the game, Underhill and one of the defensemen were both stickless.  The puck got knocked into the air near Palahicky.  In a nice piece of quick thinking, he gloved it behind his back, hid the puck, and started "frantically" looking around his feet for the puck.  Absolutely hilarious.  And it got a whistle that the Red desperately needed at that point in time.

Best visual from the game:  one of the linesmen pushing one of the Harvard players across the ice to the bench.  Worst:  those damn fish that kept flying.  I believe that the third Harvard goal was caused by a fish thrown during play right in the middle of the Cornell zone.  Dumb!  I can't believe how many times fish got thrown at absolutely stupid moments (...any time after the initial toss is a stupid moment).  

The players were *really* up for this game.  It was fun to watch and fast-paced.

First game I've been to where I wasn't in a red and white striped shirt with either a trombone or a tuba.  But I still got to play Swannee.  

sorry for being repetitive, but ditto to all of the above.  the chdf was great, especially for those of us too lazy to actually research the other team but who wanted something intelligent to yell about anyways.  thanks to kyle.  
..and thanks of course to age for making this new one.
