Re: Harvard Crimson 2014-2015: Restoring the Karma
So true. At times we dominated this game. But three mistakes killed us. The first goal which Michalek somehow managed to go into a trance and lost sight of the puck at his pad, the Blackwell penalty giving UNO a 5-3 and their second goal with just over one second left in the first and then the Esposito penalty.
We had so many chances to score in this game it wasn't funny. Did anyone count how many times we missed the net entirely?? Cripes, we seemed to put a dent in the glass behind each goal.
I really felt we were the better team tonight. Massa is very good but he isn't Ken Dryden or Carey Price. If we had played our game and avoided those dumb mistakes, the outcome might have been different.
But that as they say is that. It was a fun ride these past few weeks. Now the Vesey Watch begins. If McNally and Everson somehow get one more year and Vesey decides to return, we have a great shot at making the tournament next season. If this was their last game in a Harvard uniform, then we're back to being a second division team unless our current roster steps up big next year and we land some big recruits. I'd really like a few studs to decommit from other schools and come to Cambridge next year. Let's take the next step and get to a Frozen Four.
Sometimes the better team doesn't win. That is the beauty of sports. Longer post to come, but the skill of Harvard's forwards are just so fun to watch.
