Would have been nice (for us) had Sucks beat BC...  ah well.

On the positive side, Northeastern might actually suck enough that Harvard can beat them in the consolation game next week.

Once Harvard recovers from its annual post-finals fog and stops shooting itself in the foot, Harvard will be a team to be reckoned with.  I assure you that no team in the ECAC wants to face the Crimson (or the Big Red) in the playoffs.

Ordinarily I'd agree, but this isn't a post-final fog, it's a post Labor Day whiteout.  These guys are 8-11-2.  35th in RPI and 34th in KRACH.  We swept them.

They just aren't good.

That depends on whether Harvard is a team or just a bunch of talented players who happen to be wearing the same uniform.  I don't think we have to worry about the team thing with Cornell.

Harvard's D looked okay, but they only had about 7 shots halfway through the game - I think the score turned out about right, actually.

Although Harvard couldn't put anything together offensively besides the Charlie Johnson goal and BC had an overwhelming terirtorial advantage, BC didn't get any grade A scoring chances until the power play late in the game.  This could easily have been a 1-0 or 2-1 game.  Quite a contrast from the opening minutes of the BU-Northeastern game, during which the defenses forgot to show up.

Harvard losing.

Havard just ties it with about 12 minutes left at 1-1.

Harvard announcers discussing "breeding."

It's not what you think.

[Chris 02]

Gee, Northeastern scored...and you could tell that something happened before the announcers said it.  Lots of Northeastern fans cheering, whereas on the one Harvard goal there was very little.

So much for Harvard gaining momentum from the phenomenal comeback against Yale.
