Among all-round players, he may even rate with the Islanders' Bryan Trottier. Kurri does not care to be lumped with the other...
...NOTEBOOK An unusual sight for Harvard fans was the replacement of Blair with a sixth skater when a delayed penalty was called on B.C. early in the second period In the past, Bill Cleary has been one of the few coaches who kept his goalies in net in those situations. The Crimson hand made a point of needling the Eagle fans with a rendition of the Notre Dame fight song a reference to B.C's Liberty Bow loss. At Bright Hockey Center Boston College 1 1 1--3 Harvard...
