...must be England-in fact, Oxford of 1951. We are visiting with the charming, boyish at heart, but painfully inhibited C.S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins), author of the Narnia chronicles for children and a well-known theologian. "Shadowlands" is the story of his encounter with the lovely Joy Gresham (Debra Winger), who Lewis at first dismissively descibes as a "Jewish Communist poet from New York...
...Harvard struck back quickly. Unsung center Kirk Nielsen blasted through Marsh from the right point to even the game at 8:08. And it took only six seconds to capitalize on a holding call against Maine defenseman Jason Dekker; right winger Brian Farrell redirected Derek Maguire's shot for his fourth game-winning goal of the year, this time with 9:33 to play...
...needs shaking up. And Joy Gresham (Debra Winger) is just the woman to do it. She's an American, something of a poet, something of an imposition.

They -- the entire movie -- are strong, unsentimental, exemplary...

According to Tomassoni, his shoulder has been acting up again, forcing him to sit on the sidelines for both games last weekend. When healthy, Philpott will battle senior Ian Kennish for a fourth-line winger spot...Speaking of Kennish, he's one of only two right-handed shots among the 12 forwards in the current Crimson configuration, sophomore Kirk Nielsen being the other. Hard to figure...Tomassoni is still solidly behind both of his goaltenders, sophomores Aaron Israel and Tripp Tracy, even in light...
