Earning his second start in four games, the sophomore netminder surrendered one soft goal to RPI forward Nick Economakos at 15:36 in the second but was otherwise steady throughout...
...children's book by Chris Van Allsburg--of a kid falling asleep on Christmas Eve, seriously doubting the existence of Santa Claus, then dreaming of the eponymous train pulling into his front yard and transporting him to the North Pole.

Is Dylan, decades beyond the pinnacle of his career and currently caught up in controversy over charges of plagiarism, mired in an inescapable career trough or will his later work stand the test of time...
