...Junior goalie Joe Pike continued to show he can play with the best, posting nine saves—five in the final frame—behind a defense that smothered the Tigers’ scoring attack by forcing Princeton to the perimeter and leaving no holes in the inside as it had on numerous occasions the previous weekend. The squad allowed just three goals before the break, and Princeton’s first third quarter shot didn’t come until after nearly eight minutes of play...
...only four goals. The fourth period, however, was a different story. In the final frame, Princeton won 4-of-6 faceoffs while the Crimson committed eight turnovers and managed only 2-of-6 clears. The result was constant pressure on Harvard’s defense. Although Crimson goaltender Joe Pike did his best to stave off the Princeton attack, the Tigers cut the lead to 7-6 midway through the period. Harvard got a little breathing room when junior midfielder Jeff Wannop notched his first collegiate goal. His score came on an unassisted effort, as he circled from behind...

The criticisms are partly valid (the result of roasting beans black and leaving pots to sit around until they reduce to a 10W40-like sauce), partly not (the result of customers being wusses who don't like dark-roasted coffee). Pike Place aims to fix this through technique (Pike Place is not supposed to sit for more than 30 minutes) and blending (it aims for a lighter, brighter mix of beans). The aim is a cup that's more broadly friendly...
...Nothing risky or distinctive - no wine-y, Kenya-like acidity, none of the super-richness of my favorite Sumatra (which I looked longingly at on the menu while ordering the Pikes Place) - just a blend that tasted like the American statistical coffee median. Starbucks says it took input from about 1,000 customers in designing Pike Place, and I could taste every one of them in there. This was a cup of coffee brewed by committee...
