In the net, Crimson goalie Grant Blair is pushing his numbers back to his usual outstanding benohmarks. Blair, who holds almost every Harvard goaltending mark, now has exactly 2400 saves.
His save percentage for the young ECAC season stands at .875 and he's third in the Conference in goals-against average with a 3.16 mark.
Blair, however, is well behind Vermont's Tom Draper, who is enjoying an unbelievable start with a .932 save percentage and a 1.98 save percentage.
Draper's sudden rise to prominence may be better understood considering the goalie was but 16 when he first stood in the nets for the Catamounts.

Tim Smith--who notched a first period hat trick against Dartmouth--was named the Ivy League Player of the Week.
Smith was also named to the ECAC Honor Roll, but lost Player of the Week honors to Clarkson's Al Hill, who led the Golden Knights to a 10-1 thrashing of St. Lawrence.
The Larries are now 0-7 and probably calling Curly and Moe for help.
THE NOTEBOOK'S NOTEBOOK: The Harvard Band finally got itself on track with a pair of clever cheers against the Big Green. First, when the score was 8-2, "Two, four, six, eight, our team is really great. Two, two, two, two, humiliating, isn't it?" Second, a few moments later, "I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, we want more!"...The second assist on Fusco's record-breaking goal went to Blair. It was the goalie's second career assist. 2400 saves and two assists.
