I listened to this game on the radio. Anybody living in the Boston
area knows why I did not go outside!
 
Harvard scored all 4 goals in the third period. Basically, Chris
Soucy stood on his head, turning aside a number of what sounded like
serious scoring chances, although the messangers aren't exactly the
world's most objective.*
 
Vermont had nothing going on offense; their power-plays sounded
terrible (Harvard outscored them, 1-0, on THEIR power-play!). UVM's
had trouble scoring all year, so this was no surprise.
 
Harvard continues to run up an impressive record against weak
opponents (yes, I include Cornell in that set) at home. Harvard's
ECAC schedule REALLY helps them out in the national polls and, by
extension, in their NCAA bids. Consider: two ECAC teams finish the
season 15-7. One plays an easy early schedule, starts out 9-1, turns
human down the stretch, but stays in the top ten all year. The other
plays their tough games early, starting 5-5, then plays great down
the stretch, but only gets into the top ten at the end of the year.
 
Guess who has the better chance of a high NCAA bid.

listen to them sometime, form your own conclusions.
