Harvard held off a three goal third period surge by Cornell to win 5 to 4 at Lynah Rink. A couple of my thoughts on the game: 1) Harvard had a lot of chances to put the game away, and converted just enough of them to win. 2) Cornell skated well with Harvard when 5 on 5. This is a much improved team from last year. 3) Special Teams play had a huge effect on this game. Harvard had four power play goals --two while two men up. Cornell's power play is struggling. Look for it to improve-- they seem to have talent, but are not yet crisp.
