Q should be embarrassed by how empty that building was

[BearLover]

If I read the Q USCHO thread correctly, their senior defenseman BU-transfer (and 3rd-leading scorer) Brandon Fortunato is lost to injury for the season.

Brutal if true. All these injuries make me think the Ivies playing fewer games overall might make up for having to start the season late.

Why is that? We certainly have had our share of injuries this year and just last night another terrible one.

What really sucks is that we have some important injuries that could have been prevented. Andreev's was because of a cheap shot from behind, but AFAIK the ECAC didn't do anything extra to that asshole Baughman. And, according to Schafer Haiskanen's happened because the refs waited too long to call icing.

I agree. It's one thing to lose someone to an injury on a normal hockey play, but it happening this way is twice as frustrating.

will the CanTabs win a BeanPot game this year?

Consolation game 0-0 after 1st
(apparently they decide to not televise it because Harvard has no fans)

4-1 Harvard with a couple minutes left

4-1 Harvard with a couple minutes left

They win 5-2 with the ending being interesting.

Down 3-1 with 3:21 to play, BU pulls goalie. 12sec later an ENG, 4-1. BU puts it's goalie back in and scores, 4-2. Pull goalie again and Harvard scores another ENG to win 5-2.

And with Harvard's win, our RPI goes up 0.0009. Moving ever so closer to #7.:-|

Harvard can be depended upon to extend their historical dominance of consolation games.

Per USCHO thread, Harvard senior G Michael Lackey has torn the ACL in his right knee and is gone.  He'd played 1400 of their 1500 mins this year.  One backup has a GAA of 4.47 and a Sv% of .867.  The other has a GAA of 17.65 and a Sv% of .750.

Surely there's another -hyphen- among the "10,000 men of Harvard."

Don't appear to be, and if those are true measures of their talents perhaps we'll find out if one of the women can suit up.

I'd be surprised if anyone on their roster has a Neutral Zone rating less than a four point oh.  They should be interchangeable.

From the USCHO article on visiting every college rink,

"Colgate's fan support was also quite sad. There students were on holiday break, so student attendance was sparse, and in this case, that's excusable in my book. But the alumni do not get a pass from me. Despite a close game at the end of the second period, I saw many "fans" exiting after the building for the ride home. What, each of these folks has a hot date in Hamilton, N.Y., on a Saturday night? C'mon, give me a break. For crying out loud, support your school or don't even come if you're only going to stay for two periods! That's my two cents of venting – there you have it."

Apparently a fire alarm caused the evacuation of Houston Field House last night during the Harvard vs. RPI game:

My daughter was seeing stuff about this somewhere last night, and said that the Harvard team actually got on their bus to stay warm.

With Ned they would have won.
