Back in the early aughts, Harvard had a goalie called Dov Grumet-Morris (we usually just called him "hyphen").  At the Lynah East game he had a bunch of enthusiastic Cantab groupies who made signs, the most memorable of which read "DO ME DOV".  We were so amused by it that when we played them at Lake Placid in 2002, we (a couple of eLFers actually IIRC) made our own "DO ME DOV" sign, and we even got a "DO ME DOV" chant going.

In the 1999-2000 season, when Harvard came to visit, seven members of the Lynah Faithful went shirtless and painted "JR SUCKS" on their chests, a tribute to then-senior goalie J.R. Prestifilippo. Alas, Harvard eked out the 2-1 win.

But for Lynah East, the same seven guys traveled to Allston, and painted "JR SUCKS" on their chests again - only to have Prestifilippo get shelled for four Big Red goals and pulled in favor of junior netminder Oliver Jonas. Not even fazed for a moment, the guys recruited three more game traveling Faithful, repainted the R as an A, and quickly spelled out "JONAS SUCKS" instead. Final 6-2, Cornell.

Reportedly, J.R.'s father was highly amused at our guys (at least the first time around), and took it as a sign our fan-base was really wonderful.
