HARVARD SUCKS

[Towerroad]

Ted Donato's son Ryan has committed to Harvard, per Heisenberg.  There had been speculation on the Harvard USCHO thread that he might be headed to BC instead.  He is, supposedly, a stud, but we all know how Harvard prospects, particularly legacies, display grade inflation.

If nothing else it could get tricky if Teddy gets fired.  The three or four alums who take time from defrauding their clients to care have been grunting for that bald pate on a pike.

Clearly, you do not understand, he is the best coach in all of hockey, after all he coaches at Harvard. QED.

He recently received a review and guess what grade he got?

The quest for a fourth consecutive Beanpot consolation win begins tonight at 5 pm.  Northeastern is 33 PWR slots higher than Harvard so the Crimson actually have an excuse this year.

Camera in locker room showed Ted Donato's completely uninspiring speech to team, trailing 2-0.  They then went out and immediately gave up another goal, then another.  Now it's 4-0.  Announcers at one time pointed out that there were 30+ minutes of penalty time with only 23 minutes of time elapsed in the game.  Lotta laughs.

 Sure, everybody but Harvard

It's 5-0 now.

It's over 6-0. NU 3/10 PP, HU 0/7 76 min penalties.

CHN's article: Another Lost Year at Beanpot for Harvard.

Donato has distant memories of the last time the Crimson won the tournament; he was a player. His record in the Beanpot is 5-13, and a nightmarish 1-9 in the opening round.

At the other end, the Northeastern penalty killers stopped all seven Harvard power plays, limiting the Crimson to only two total man-advantage shots.

Most notably, the Huskies killed a first-period, five-minute major in a manner so thorough that it had to take much of the wind out of Harvard's sails. The Crimson managed only a single shot during the five minutes and spent much of the time outside of the offensive zone.

That doesn't sound right.  Harvard last won in 1993.  Donato graduated in 1991.  He was on their 1989 team that won the Beanpot.

My enjoyment of the Beanpot Tournament increased exponentially after I stopped rooting for Harvard and began just ridiculing the Crimson.
