...figured we have to win this game, there’s no way we’re losing, so we went after it.” With momentum in hand, the Crimson had several good chances to win in regular time, but Zilis, who finished with 36 saves, was equal to the challenge. Sluzas’s strike ended a flurry of activity midway through the third period. Yale claimed a 3-1 lead on a power-play goal with 10:24 left in regulation.

Only Justice John Harlan found fault with that state of affairs, writing as the lone dissenter in Plessy v.

It would take more than a half-century, but the wisdom of his words finally persuaded the court to acknowledge in Brown that "'separate but equal' has no place" in public education...
