Re: Harvard Crimson 2018-2019 All Things Bright and Beautiful
I sometimes wonder if getting the bye hurts more than helps Harvard. Case in point; tonight's game in which we looked like the Keystone Cops at times. Sloppy passing, falling down at inopportune moments, coughing up the puck in our zone, and too much individual play trying to break Dartmouth's neutral zone trap which resembled a basketball 2-3 matchup zone. It was really effective for the first 30 minutes.
Once the Green scored, it woke us up and our talent took over. Adam Fox's game winner was a thing of beauty - a great two on one with Colton Kerfoot and his feed to Fox who buried it.
Dartmouth had their chances to take control of this game but couldn't finish their opportunities. Gornet played very well for his first playoff game. The Badini line got badly outplayed and Teddy might want to rethink his forward combos for tomorrow night.
Surprising results from tonight's ECAC matchups. Brown beating Quinnipiac, Union beating Cornell. Hmm. That's two series that should go three.

Great series in playoffs type games which undoubtedbly will help you guys moving forward. You guys again were the better team in the series although not by much.
Good Luck in Placid and hopefully the big "Dance"!

The elephant in the room when you look back on this series was the reversal of the Dartmouth goal with 14 seconds left in the second period. They probably had a beef. As soon as I saw McDonald head to the review area, I knew the goal wasn't going to count. The hockey Gods giveth and they taketh away. Dartmouth got an overrule on Friday so I suppose it evened out. But you could argue that if the goal stood, we'd be playing today.
Oh well, on to Lake Placid. Will Union make it two upsets this weekend? We'll see...

Think that assessment is a bit harsh.
- Zerter was playing with stomach flu and gutted it out on Sat night
- not sure why Baughnann is on PK and Walsh in his own zone is what it is
- harvard has more horses and talent than Dartmouth and that gap will widen next year given recruiting
- Drury, Bowlby, Dornbach Line needs to get going again. Stalled a bit.
- the interference on Dartmouth 4th goal was just that. He ran the goalie and Dartmouth was fortunate not to be penalized. Never had a chance to be a good goal
Big sheet at Placid here we come.

You have always more talent (and will continue to do so) than BG so my point is the product on the ice has closed a bit; no more blow out games! Individual talent doesn't ensure success or you guys will be blowing us and other teams out all the time. And to your point about the non goal: - the interference on Dartmouth 4th goal was just that. He ran the goalie and Dartmouth was fortunate not to be penalized. Never had a chance to be a good goal. Come on... Fortunate not to be called penalty on Forman, please! It was a power move and hockey move going to the net as any forward would have done. Badini would have done the same thing! If anything you should blame Walsh who had Forman measured at the blueline but was beat too easily!

As for the rest of my post, I'll stand by my comments. The team lacked urgency and played in spurts. That won't get it done next weekend. There was sloppiness and non adjustments that should have been made. This is not to disparage Dartmouth because they played hard and deserved to at least have played today.
Kudos to Michael Floodstrand for a great series as he was all over the ice and a constant thorn in Dartmouth's side. He showed leadership, energy and drive, something that was missing from some players wearing Crimson unis. And look, I'll give the frosh a pass because it was their first ECAC tournament. But things have to change next weekend if we are to capture the championship.
And I think Adam Fox tied Mark Fusco for most points by a Harvard D. Not sure but I was told that was the case.
