...first stanza went scoreless, but Harvard was not without its chances. At the 12:02 mark winger Scott Powers rushed into try and flip a bouncing puck into an open net. Somehow the puck missed, and at the same time Tortorella upended Powers, who smashed his knee on the far post and had to be helped off the ice. His status for the rest of the season is uncertain...
...assaults the eye often benumbs the brain, but now all the networks are doing the same. Overdoing it, in fact. Arledge thinks his imitators' gadgetry is more distracting than his own. The anchorman still sits there quietly, but over his shoulder his surroundings have taken on a dancing, flip-flopping life.

She's really cute, the best screamer since Fay Wray and in a class by herself as a whiner. Donald Pleasance is back too as the flip side of the Shape, a nubby, sexless, shapeless little fanatic, certainly a speed freak, killing innocent people in pursuit of his alter-ego.
