Maine v. Harvard

[DeltaOne81]

Yeah, JTW beat me to it. Only one thing I'll add. If Hahvahd(sucks) were to beat (or tie) Maine, then that's an extra common opponents loss for them. So it really does help us. Besides, if Hahvahd(sucks) takes the belt, there's a good chance it'll wind up in the ECAC for a while, assuming Hahvahd(sucks) (you're right, we do need a script :-) ) can get through their own holiday tourney (No. Mich may be a challenge), or at least only lose to Colgate in it, and ssuming they don't loose it in the Beanpot.

Of course, should we not take the belt from Maine ::twitch:: ... ya know, like should we tie or win in a shootout or something :-P ... then who knows when we'll have another shot.

So I'll be routing for a tie, secondly a Havahd(sucks) win.

and just in case you missed it. . .Harvard(sUcKs):-D

[zg88]

Any script that adds "(sucks)" to Hahvahd should ALSO correct any misspellings of Hahvahd (such as "Harvard", which I'm seeing FAR too often on this forum...).  :-D

Sorry Zg, but my dictionary lists 3 acceptable variations on the spelling:

Hahvahd, Ha+va+rd, and Harvard(sucks).

I am sure that various combinations - Ha+va+rd(sucks), Hahvahd(sucks), Ha+hva+hd, and the preferred trifecta Ha+hva+hd(sucks) are also acceptable.

[Jim Hyla]

Don't forget Ha+rva+r , since you can't get a D at that place.

1-0 Maine early in the first... that was quick

[Section A]

2-0 Maine now

[DeltaOne81]

2-0 Maine, goal Kariya (they just have a factory for them over there, don't they?)

Hahvahd w/ a good PP, but no score - 6min left in the first

looking more like the belt's gonna be in Estero

[atb9]

5 on 3 for Maine, Shields scores...nasty after they hit the post...3-0 Maine with 1:28 left on 5 on 4

Yikes.  Their powerplay sounds awesome.  5 forwards on the ice?  Let's hope some of their guys become academically ineligible before Estero.  ;-)

[atb9]

End of the first period, 3-0 Maine.  It could easily be 5-0 if G-M didn't make some sick sounding saves on the 5 on 4, and on Kariya short hand.  Harvard picked up another penalty to end the period as Maine goes on their 5th powerplay.  Yikes!  "One of the best periods Maine has played this year."

[Mike Hedrick 01]

Well, we do have the nice Red uniforms. :-)

[DeltaOne81]

4-1 maine (the 1 came first)

[atb9]

End of second, still 4-1.  Maine gave up a stupid roughing penalty right after they scored to make it 4-1 but killed it off by controlling the puck for a good portion of the penalty.  It seemed like momentum was shifting to Harvard but Maine stood the pressure well.  SOG are fairly even and high, something like 31-29 through 2.  Harvard starts the third on the power play.

[Big Ben 03]

If the SOG are that high, then what does that say about maine's defense? Clearly hahvahd(sucks) isn't having trouble getting into maine's zone, they just can't solve the goalie. That strikes me as somewhat of a weakness for maine. IMHO, if they're allowing hahvahd(sucks) to spend half their time in their zone, I think that bodes well for Cornell in that we tend to capitalize better when given the shots on goal.

(I am *SO* not woofing here! Just harmless analysis!)

Dom Moore makes it 4-2, 14:37 left in the third.  A comeback?
