...flying over rooftops is a highlight of Yuen's 1994 Fire Dragon. And the up-a-tree skirmish? Catch the three warriors perched on flaming poles in the 1993 Iron Monkey. This time it's two good guys (Yen and Yu Rong-guang) against one preternatural baddie (Yam Sai-goon). The heroes try to keep their equilibrium while dodging flame darts from Yam; they use burning sticks as swords; they balance one pole on another, like a teeter-totter, and swivel on either end; Yu climbs up to stand on Yen's shoulders; finally they pole-vault to safety...
...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. On Saturday, McCulloch returned, but the Crimson was reduced to five again when its best bluliner, junior assistant captain Pete Capouch, went down with a concussion thanks to 6'3 goon Mike Colgan. One of the five remaining defensemen was freshman Kenny Smith, who delivered on his promise in his long-awaited debut...
While the rest of the ECAC breathes a collective sign of relief at the loss of resident goon Benoit Morin, the Tigers will sorely miss his offensive production and his physical presence, to put it nicely. Captain Kirk Lamb (8,20) is anticipated to take the helm, after leading the team in scoring last season. And without the experience of Darren Yopyk and Chris Barber on the blueline, the weight of the season will be resting on a large number of very young and inexperienced shoulders...
Just when it seems it couldn't get any worse for Marty McSorley, it does. After delivering a two-handed slash to Donald Brashear of the Vancouver Canucks on Feb. 21, the Boston Bruins enforcer, goon, strong-man--call him what you will--was slapped with the harshest penalty ever given by the National Hockey League (NHL), and was suspended for the rest of the season. 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...
