If you look at the statistics leading up to the opening round of
the Beanpot tournament tonight at the TD Banknorth Garden,
particularly the scouting reports on the first game between Boston
University and Harvard, it would be easy to assume the matchup
bodes poorly for the Crimson. The team is 5-11-4 overall and 5-6-4
in ECAC play. The Terriers, on the other hand, are 19-5-1 overall
and 12-5-1 in Hockey East. Harvard has scored just 44 goals and
allowed 68. BU has generated 93 goals while giving up 47.
Of Harvard's five victories, only one has come in the last 14
games (1-9-4) and that was a 3-1 win over Union Friday night.
But this being the Beanpot, where anything can happen and often
does, Crimson coach Ted Donato believes underestimating his squad
would be a mistake.
