Murphy was definately the story of the game!!  He kept CU in it
frustrated WM so much that penalties and sloppy play resulted in
the third.  Its a shame CU let up with 33 secs left and didn't get
him the shutout.
 
As for pressure on Clarkson to do well, I think they already
proved they can play with HE or the western leagues.  They are
7-3-1 outside the ECAC including a win over Maine and a tie at BU.
They are in the tourniment because they deserve it and the 6-1 win
last night proves it.

I agree.  BU will eat them up and spit em out if they don't tighten
up in there own zone.
