An eager Brown band and a lonely fan dressed in a life preserver gave Harvard some competition in the noise-making department.

But during the third period, the band had dispersed, and the fan had decided to donate his life preserver to the Bruins on the ice. They were sinking fast.

The Crimson, however, received a wake-up call and scored five goals, its best final-period output of the season.

The first score came after 23 seconds had elapsed. C.J. Young passed the puck to Allen Bourbeau for a shorthanded two-on-one goal.

Would you like to have your pillow fluffed, Brown?

Then MacDonald added two goals. One off a pass from Bourbeau, the other on a power play. Harvard was ahead, 8-1.

Read you a story, Bruins?

Ed Krayer banged a Kevin Sneddon rebound that almost gave Brown goalie Chris Harvey whiplash and caused the net to quake.

A cup of warm milk?

And with less than three minutes left in the game, MacDonald and Young decided to play some pingpong hockey. MacDonald to Young to MacDonald. Red light, hat trick, double-figure victory.

Good night.
