Next on the plaudits list is Lau, who turned in the textbook performance of "Playing Well on a Tough Night." The junior netminder scrambled for 32 saves, and none was better than a second period bank job he pulled on Steiner. With 7:26 remaining in the stanza and Yale on a power play, Steiner flipped the puck toward an apparently open net, as Lau was on his back in the crease.

When discussing a potentially controversial subject such as religious belief, he neither defends the value of faith nor criticizes its conflict with scientific evidence...
...McCarthy, the acrobat in the other cage, overshadowed Whiston. A freshman out of Hingham High who is used to busy nights (he stopped 50 shots against Matignon in the Eastern Mass. schoolboy tournament last March), McCarthy singlehandedly prevented what would have been Harvard's third consecutive win with textbook goaltending under pressure...
