He and two male cousins set out to “try their fortunes” in unsettled territory, and Rob’s practical but detailed description of the three men’s attempts to set up a household is full of the appealing roughness of the frontier. After the cousins...
...minutes into the third period, Northeastern’s Joe Santilli charged down the left side and passed the puck across the net to teammate Rob Rassey, who tapped it in from the slot to notch another goal for the Huskies.
