"You've got two boys [Benning and Taylor] at the point who have a lot of poise," Harvard Coach Bill Cleary said. "They know each other well and they don't fool around with the puck. The three players down low [Barakett, Bourbeau and MacDonald] have a great hockey sense...
Taylor and Benning have netted only three power-play goals apiece. But their job is to feed the trio down low, and they have a penalty box full of assists to show how skilled they are at doing just that.
"It is pretty," Benning said. "It's something we work hard on in practice. When you have three players like Lane, Tim and Allen up front, all we have to do is get the puck to them. We take advantage of another team's rushing around."
