I still think this was a god play.  When he actually covered the puck he wasn't
that far out of the crease that he might have gotten away with, but he came
out with such speed that he slid out another 10 feet before the whistle.  Also
the slash that was called was brutal, Pattison broke the shaft of his stick
over Elliott's head.  I think I noticed a cornell coach retrieve the stick
and take it to the locker room, it might be possible they want to show it
to the league.

I think I heard this come from section B, before from D, but it still was a
great cheer (the Doofus cheer was before my time, and a Jason cheer isn't
as good sounding as Eddy or Andy).
 
one other note, when I was playing last night I noticed that written in marker
on the penalty bench was "RESERVED DUFRESNE"  I don't remember how many
penalties he got over the weekend, but apparently someone is giving him a
hard time.
