...reporters from The Harvard Crimson. It's a shame, too, because, from all accounts, he is otherwise a genuinely good man, but one with a remarkable grudge against this paper. And why the Eli jersey? Why? ... The Princeton game was Harvard's first since the graduation of Tiger goon Benoit Morin. Though the Tigers tried, they couldn't conjure up the same fight-dirty spirit that it did with Morin on the ice. Otherwise, sophomore Dominic Moore might've still had his three points, but with a stick in his back to accompany them. ... Lastly, a big, warm hearty thank...
Harvard only fielded five defensemen last Friday due to injury and a suspension to freshman Dave McCulloch.

Since then, he has been demonized, vilified and chastised by the horrified public and has become for some the embodiment of everything wrong with hockey. Even his fellow players have lashed out against...
Senior defenseman Matt Scorsune took Princeton goon Benoit Morin's best shots and pushed right back. Sophomore defenseman Leif Ericson responded to Yale player Paul Lawson's extra shoving by dropping the gloves with him in an almost-fight...
