As Allman witnessed all of the Crimson's special teams mishaps last night, perhaps he thought of that heartbreaking 1998 defeat again.
The Terriers won the game on a power play goal after a defensive break down inside the blue line. The Crimson had three chances to clear the zone before Nick Gillis could redirect the shot from the point.

As in the overtime of the 1998 Beanpot championship, missed opportunities cost the Crimson the game.
The task now falls to Mazzoleni to reverse the flow of history and restore the glory of the Harvard program. It's a long term process, but the Beanpot is getting way too predictable.
Next Monday, it's B.U.-B.C. in the finals.
I wouldn't bet against the Terriers.
