...goaltending was hot and cold. Lau bobbled Mark Murphy's shot from the point with B.C. on a power play (Jon Garrity, interference) and Gary Sampson smacked the garbage past him. That made it 2-2. Just 43 seconds later, Harvard's Graham Carter lost control of the puck in front of the Crimson goal and Lau was nowhere to be seen when B.C.'s Peter Arnold embroidered the gaping...
