Immediately the scene cuts to a beachside menage-a-trois. Talk about throwing a bone to the audience. The movie eventually...

The big saves that Richter had been contributing all of February were still there, but there were also several miscues, including a partial save that deflected just wide of the left post.“I think [Richter] was okay; I don’t think he was outstanding,” Donato said. “I don’t think either goalie played their absolute best.”While Harvard mistakes...
