As for the girls, two good games, beat RPI 4-1 and Union 5-3. Interesting to see them playing with a long bench for the first time in years. I am not sure if the change in style will continue. We may be back to the girls playing 6 forwards and 4 D for 90% of the ice time.
Agree about the girls. They look good and I like that we're using everyone so far. That can only help down the stretch.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Watched last night's game via the RPI website. We really took it to the Engineers - how in the world did they beat Union? There were two things that stood out for me. Our speed through the neutral zone which RPI couldn't handle. And our D zone coverage especially in front of Michalek. Limiting a team to 14 shots in their own barn is an accomplishment.
We'll know more after tonight. And it's obviously early. But the signs are there for a decent year and maybe, just maybe, a sixth place finish?
Question: what has happened to Sean Malone, Colin Blackwell and Victor Newell? They are listed on the roster. Injuries? Appreciate an update.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Considering that Harvard traveled to the Capital District and took 3 points from two teams that had 6 games in hand, a very solid performance and start to the season for Harvard.
We need to be realistic on Tuesday. We are playing a BC team that has lost two games in a row and will be a very desperate team. Harvard will certainly be an underdog, but for the first time in years, Harvard should be able to skate with BC.
Does anyone know if the game is being broadcast on TV?

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
2012 Tie Record Watch:
2 Ties of 11 (NCAA Record)
2 Ties of 9 (ECACHL Record)
For some perspective, we had not picked up our second tie of the year in 2011-2012 until Nov. 25, 8 games into the season, a 3-3 draw at Dartmouth.
Looks like no TV for BC this week.Former Harvard Hockey broadcaster on 95.3 FM and WHRB.org.
Go Crimson!

I don't have any such delusions about BC on Tuesday. We may or may not be able to skate with them but I'm not counting on any points. We have a ways to go before we can compete with them. Makes you wish we had been able to get Bracco, Fortunato and Plant. The roster is starting to get a lot better - with the aforementioned, players, I might have been even more optimistic about this season.

The RPI announcers mentioned that after scoring three goals in the first period of the first game last season against Harvard, RPI has gone 8 periods and an OT without scoring on the Crimson. That's embarrassing any way you slice it.

BC has its version of Ivy Digital Sports Network. You can find the link on www.gocrimson.com, and click on the "video" link for the HvBC game. The subscription is $9.95 for a month. Think you have to be carful to "unsubscribe" because most of these services have automatic renewal each month.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
My wife and I attended the game Friday night against RPI in their quirky rink. We were impressed by Harvard's play, it was the first time in a long while that a Harvard team controlled the game and was encouraged by the play of the defensemen who kept the Engineers from getting off quality shots, except for one that hit the crossbar. Nice crowd there of loyal RPI supporters who were very pleasant, and in the corner in which we spent the third period an usher was handing out chocolate chip cookies to the people sitting there. The beginning of the season gives rise to a cautious optimism; their play is more cohesive so far than it has been.
