...years about quitting New York City, an idea generally scuttled when residents realized that a lot of Manhattanites didn't know it was part of the club to begin with, and at least a few were confusing it with the little triangular island also named Staten at the southernmost tail of Argentina - which would at least explain why the ferry takes so long. Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley have similarly talked of seceding from greater Los Angeles, but the deal has repeatedly gotten hung up over merchandising rights...

...Skill, however, played just as important a role as luck, as Richter surrendered just two goals and the Harvard penalty kill was beaten only once. On a night when there seemed to be an endless supply of loose pucks in front of the Crimson net, especially during the tail end of the second and third periods, the Harvard defense played well enough to minimize the damage, preventing the Tigers from cashing in on rebounds or tip-ins.“Our D has been doing a great job…you see us boxing guys out, getting under guys?...
