...against Yale, but it was the five shots he could not block that cost the Harvard men’s hockey team the win.With a barrage of attempts on net and an aggressive offensive assault, the Bulldogs downed the Crimson (5-13-4, 5-7-4 ECAC) in a blowout to complete the season sweep of Harvard. Hoyle limited the damage, but his effort was in vain. No. 14 Yale (16-5-1, 11-3-1) triumphed, 5-1.“My overall impression was that after having a great game against BU, we really took a step back...

Last year in Arizona, Hugh Hefner hosted 2,500 people in a 52,000-sq.-ft. pavilion for his party, and tickets were going for $3,000 in the secondary market. This year, with Playboy's stock down more than 70%, Hef has canceled its Super Saturday Night party. Instead, the company is sponsoring a DirectTV event; four Playmates will be on hand, compared with the 22 who showed up at last year's Playboy bash. (See the best and worst Super...
