As Harvard netminder Tripp Tracy went to clear the puck at the end of the first period, he was leveled by an oncoming B.C. forward.

Last but not least, a small tip of the hat to the Harvard faithful that braved the winter chill to make it to Boston Garden for the game.

It should be noted that it wasn't just Harvard's skaters that got better during the night.

After the second-period comeback by the Crimson, the fans decided to make a comeback of their own.

As the B.C. mascot--a bald eagle--made his rounds through the Garden, stopping in the Harvard section (what was he thinking??), the fans gave him a welcome typical for, well, an endangered species.

The folks grabbed the feathers from the neck of the besieged bird and passed them around the section as the poor eagle tried to chase them down. One creative fan ended the chase by firing the feathers onto the ice.

Meanwhile, a small tyke snuck up behind the eagle and pantsed him, pulling his shorts down to his ankles to the delight of the crowd. Not to be outdone, an older gent did the same thing. (No, the eagle isn't anatomically correct.)

Hey, it's very simple. You cross enemy lines, you get treated like an enemy.
