...puck a little bit,” Reese said of his defense on the play, adding, “I should have stayed in the middle more.” The rest of Harvard’s power plays were characterized by some messy puckhandling and a series of errant passes that repeatedly forced the team to reset. “In our own zone, we really seemed to have a tough time stringing even the most basic few passes together,” Donato said. “I didn’t think...
