The southpaw

The men's hockey team obviously has a number of talented freshmen, but one who really stood out this weekend was forward Greg Miller. Miller scored the last goal in the 6-3 win over Harvard, but his sweet lefty snap shot caught our attention earlier in the weekend. He has speed moving up the boards and he took two hard shots against Dartmouth on Friday, as well as a few on Saturday before his goal. Miller has been playing on the second line with junior forwards Patrick Kennedy and Riley Nash, so he should see plenty of scoring chances.

Lynah Rink Cheer Tracker

Friday night's game mostly saw the standard cheers from the Lynah Faithful, but as the Red pulled away late in the game, fans struck up a hearty "We want Harvard" cheer.

On Saturday night, fans tried a different version of the same: "We want Richter," referring to Harvard goalie Kyle Richter, who sat in favor of Ryan Carroll in Saturday's game. Richter missed last season, but he held the Red to one goal in each game the teams played two seasons ago.

"Safety school," was an ironic, if overused cheer on Saturday night; "Grade inflation" was a slightly more clever jab at Harvard's academics.

As time was winding down in the 6-3 win over the Crimson, the Faithful dusted off "Four-point weekend," which later transitioned into "four-point weekend/no-point weekend," in standard Lynah accusatory style.

Climbing the ladder

The team moved to No. 3 from No. 5 in the latest Inside College Hockey power rankings and U.S. College Hockey Online polls. The team's next opponent, Yale, is No. 12 in both rankings.
