...played a heck of a game up there," Cleary said.... Busconi is the only Crimson skater with double digits in the goals column. He has tallied 12. Eight members of last year's team scored 10 or more goals.... Kukulowicz is this year's enforcer, with 21 penalties for a total of 50 minutes. Visone ranks second on the boo-boo list, with 16 penalties for 35 minutes. No other Crimson player has spent more than 20 minutes in the sin bin....

Around a ramp of snow trucked down from the hills, the flame was delivered to Figure Skater Sanda Dubravcic. She ran the sparkler up a great white staircase, and the Olympic wok ignited instantly with a roar. But the highlight for some was the final duty of Lake Placid, the hosts of 1980, represented by Mayor Robert Peacock and the Norwood, N.Y., fire-department band. Appearing incomplete without a Dalmatian trotting alongside, the firemen oom-pah-pahed along the Bosnian Main Street, performing When the Saints Go Marching In, America the Beautiful and Baby Face...
