Normally, I’d be surprised by this type of comeback, but for Harvard hockey, seasonal ups and downs are expected. This trend of extended losing streaks followed by a late-season resurgence has become an oddly common phenomenon...
...Harvard been prone to these streaks? It really is impossible to answer that question with any accuracy. I could try to put my finger on something like pre-season preparation, confidence, the academic schedule, or some other cause, but the truth may be that these streaks of really bad and really good are just coincidences...
...Offensively, the Crimson has notched at least three goals in its past five ECAC games. Defensively, the improvement is even more pronounced. Harvard has given up 1.6 goals per game in its last five ECAC contests compared to 3.9 goals per game for the rest of the ECAC season...
There is something I want to say, though, about the Crimson’s current hot streak. If the team is going to keep its momentum, it has to avoid reverting to the poor third period performance that plagued the early parts of the season...
Maybe we’ll see a run to the ECAC Championship game like in 2007-2008, or maybe we’ll see the squad get upset in the first round of playoffs like last season. I guess it just depends on who shows up: Jekyll or Hyde...
