Just got home from the game. Wow, it was a struggle to be sure. PC came out storming and were it not for Madsen doing his best Ken Dryden imitation, we might have lost. The Friars had all kinds of chances in the first eight minutes. The game actually started to turn after an absolutely horrible call against the Friars when they were called for offsides as they scored a goal. The replay on the scoreboard clearly showed the puck crossing the blue line before the players. Egregious and slowly after that, Harvard started to find their legs.
A late first period PP led to Harvard's first goal early in the second period, a Tyler Moy wrister from the left faceoff circle that Hawkey either didn't see or just whiffed. Either way it got us going a bit and as the period wore on, we got more chances including a beauty from Adam Fox who walked out from behind the PC net and stuffed a backhander through Hawkey.
Third period was lockdown city as Harvard played the neutral zone trap to perfection. It was pretty boring in stretches until Moy sealed it with an empty netter.
Why Harvard started so slowly in this game is a mystery but you had to expect PC to come out firing. They had a big home crowd behind them. They outplayed us in stretches and definitely had the better opportunities and a lot more of them. We need to get our skating game going early tomorrow night.
Bring on ????????
