There's nothing wrong with "holding" and "grabbing" players, Brown fans, as long
as it doesn't constitute a penalty. Princeton slowed down Brown players at
times, true, but I disagree that Brown is a far more skilled and faster team.
 
Princeton's goals came on pretty plays and fast rushes. If Brown IS faster, then
they certainly didn't show it this weekend. (Maybe it's Princeton's conditioning
that's so much better). The Bears' goals were of the garbage kind--hacking away
at rebounds, screen shots, etc. Wasn't the first Brown goal on Saturday night
(the breakaway) the result of a Brown player stepping right out of the penalty
box and illegally catching a pass that the ref's TOTALLY missed? Princeton
appeared to be a better team throughout the weekend, and they deserve to go onto
Lake Placid.
 
Now, as for beating Clarkson...well, that's another story. But good luck to the
Tigers, regardless!
