Wednesday night the hockey team trimmed BU in one of the roughest college games of the year. And tonight at West Point's Academy Stadium the Crimson will be in for much the same sort of evening when it takes on Army Harvard will probably win, mainly because BU best Army two weeks ago and because the Crimson is now playing its best hockey of the season.
