You always had the feeling that the team was going to come thru. Not true with this team.

But as I've said multiple times, I'll enjoy it as far as it'll go.

Wow.  That is amazing.

Final three against terrific goalies:  Clarkson's Bullock a first-team All-American; Wisco's Thomas went on to be Dryden's back-up in Montreal.  Tough, tough games.  Came from behind in all three.  Bullock had 24 saves (with no goals) in the third period of the ECAC final before Hughes potted the game-winner at 19:46

I don't remember what paper this came from, but it's a "good" representation of the game.

I don't remember what paper this came from, but it's a "good" representation of the game.

I never understood why, on those great teams that dominated and kept the puck in the offensive zone perhaps more than 40 out of 60 minutes per game, why Brian Cropper (and other Cornell goalies, when they played) did not continue the tradition Ken Dryden had started. Looking at him, you'd hardly believe there's a hockey game going on.

Maybe because they weren't sure that they could refocus as quickly as he could?

Or because the goalie stick was taller than Cropper?**]

Dryden's pose emulated the great Canadiens goalie George Vezina's pose of bygone years.  [Search youtube for "dryden legend of hockey" if you haven't watched it.]
