Messing With The Team

Remember when when the Harvard men's hockey team used to be good?

Remember when the hockey team had its great season and finished second in the country?

Well, it seems there are some guys down at the rink who've broken out of the revenge that has surrounded the hockey community around here ever since.

worse, they're so intent on denigrating the sacred memory of the 1982-83 ECAC champions that they plan to relive some of these recent glory days themselves.

Six freshmen, three seniors and some guys in between are having themselves quite a time.

Further more, I have it on good authority that these pretenders have, in tact gone out and won seven of their first eight games and escaped with a tie from Cornell's Ivnah Rink, home of Harvard hockey hatred in the Western Hemisphere.

But remember, it's a secret, so don't tell anyone.

How could these guys dare to profane the memory of that championship season'.

Just cause they sport the only unbeaten record in major college hockey, they're talking big.

I guess nobody told them no Harvard hockey squad after. The Team will ever be allowed to achieve any significant success.

Just because the upstarts have started off so well and are ranked seventh in the country, they're talking big.

You think you're so cool, don't yaguys, huh?

Don't be fooled, folks, they're just an imitation.

So what if they have started out 7,0.1 and take on a pathetic Dartmouth squad tonight at Hanover? The 1982-83 Crimson started off by winning its first--well, only five, but a good five before losing at Cornell.

Remember, The Team had Grant Blair in goal and he averaged more than 31 saves a game. And offensively, Scott Fusco led the squad with 33 goals and had 22 assists for an average of 1.67 points per game.

This year they're got this new guy in goal, what's his name, let's see--oh. I guess Blair's still around, but he hasn't played well in two years.

He did have 49 saves at Lynah, which set a new Harvard record. I'd have to say he's playing pretty well.

And Fusco went to play for the 1984 U.S. Olympic team. I don't even know who the leading scorer is this year. Mumm, it seems that Fusco came back to Harvard, but he's only averaging ... well, only 2.75 goals a game. But that's only second best in the nation.

So maybe these upstarts are pretty good.

Maybe even good enough to over shadow another team someday.
