Re: Harvard Crimson 2019-2020 All Things Bright and Beautiful
Crazy game tonight. Union came out with a good game plan to hit the Crimson and keep them pinned to the boards. For the first period, it worked. Then the second period happened with only one of the goals on the PP. Could not believe how much room we had in front of the Union goalies in the second - it was like Union decided to just watch the Crimson skate and admire the view. As the Union announcers said, it resembled pond hockey and as someone who played this brand of hockey, I concur. No D structure at all.
Game got out of hand after that with a total lack of discipline and focus from the Crimson (can't really blame them all that much). Credit Union for not throwing in the towel although getting a too many men on the ice penalty when you're already shorthanded is, well, embarrassing to say the least. Not the Dutchmen we know from previous seasons. And our first win up there in ten years. Last time we scored 8 or more goals against Union was Feb 1st, 2005. Another rout.
Interesting that Rathbone has been limited to PP duty only. Not sure what the coaching staff is doing here. He can't be happy about it. Jace Foskey is getting more ice time as is Nick Azur. Would like some insight here because if this doesn't change, Rathbone might skip his final two seasons.
