...important ECAC tournament implications it held for Harvard. And a weekend off is not just nice for the injured—it also lets the Crimson bypass a best-of-three opening round in which anything can happen. Despite its high finish, Harvard has lost this season to Yale and Quinnipiac, two of the teams in the league’s bottom quartet.
