...night, gently settling on the Crimson skaters savoring the magic moments almost nobody expected, over the top-ranked college hockey team in the East, now humiliated, going through the motions and waiting for the agony to end, and finally coming out to rest on the sparkling eyes and iridescent dome of William J. Cleary, who had been waiting for this one for a long, long time. He grinned, clenched his fists in victory, and then applauded lustily...
