Real classy win, Yale.
Ogara head shot, Lyon throwing punches, and Cooper going after Kerfoot after the whistle. Guess we see the real character of Yale and what they resort to when they face some adversity (17-2 SOG and some tilted ice in the 3rd)
I have a feeling there is going to be some karma reigning down on Yale after this one.
See you in the ECACs...

Right. Guess you missed Wilson getting his head slammed to the ice after he chipped the puck out of the zone to ice the game. Malone didn't even miss a shift. The O'Gara hit was a 2 min cross check, but the acting job by Malone was simply the last of 3 dives by Harvard. Please.
Mighty Harvard got off 7 SOG for first two periods. Vestry played like his usual prima Donna self, Blackwell did his usual cheap shot nonsense, and ther were more held sticks and slashes by the Cantabs than - well- you could shake a stick at.
Blue were better, more physical, poised, you name it. Harvard was on the ropes in 2nd period and goalie was giving up juicy rebounds on almost every chance.
They lost. Yale was better. Alain walked across the ice to shake hands with Donato. Players did the handshake line. Try doing the same.\
It was a very good game. Refs were in way over their heads. Let them play, but missed a lot. Called penalties only after they turned around and saw a guy on the ice or holding his hand. They called matching 2 min penalties mid game b/c it was starting to get chippy. Didn't really do much good.
Harvard got beat as usual by a tenacious forecheck, which guys like Vesey & Blackwell don't like very much. The goalie was very shaky and the D not physical at all.
Still, I'd say both teams are totally legit.
But get real. The OGara hit & the total acting job by Malone - who did not miss a shift - was a desperate play to try to get momentum changed in a game where they were being out worked. They were in serious trouble and Yale went into full defensive mode after that.\
I wasn't so keen on that but I'm sure with Harvards overall edge in speed, Allain figured he had Lyon and didn't want to give up a bad goal.\
If you want to talk about a penalty, how about the takedown on the breakaway by Yale. Outrageous they didn't award a penalty shot. He was all alone in the slot and got taken down from behind.\
Enough said. Good game. Good win. Shake hands.\
