Congratulations to the Clarkson team for their quarterfinal victories over Yale this past weekend. My impressions of the games - Game 1 - The Eli never got off the bus in this one. Clarkson took it to them from the opening face-off. The only Yale player who was ready to play (as Ken has said) was Letourneau our goalie. The Golden Knights could have won this one by much more. Game 2 - This was a much better effort by Yale. They had Clarkson wondering up until the later stages of the game when the Golden Knight forwards took over. The second period was one of Yale's best of the year as they put 14 shots on net and seemed to have Clarkson on the ropes. The Bulldogs ran out of gas in the third, however, and had too many defensive breakdowns in their own end which Clarkson took advantage of. Hats off to - o Yale's Letourneau and all their seniors for four good years. o Clarkson fans and band - They kept it clean (and loud!). o Dave Tretowicz and Hugo Belanger - Both these players keyed the Clarkson attack. Belanger was especially effective. I was most impressed by his unselfishness. As Hugo's so will go Clarkson. If he continues at this level, they will be very tough to beat. Good luck in the rest of the playoffs - /walt
