After one: Gerbe bottled up, Biega +2

At the end of one at the Beanpot, Harvard has a surprising 2-1 lead over Boston College. Nathan Gerbe is having difficulty getting it going, while the entire Eagles squad has been unsuccessul in cracking the neutral zone versus a diligent Crimson defense. Alex Biega, who can look like one of college hockey's better defensemen when he's skating hard, was on the ice for both Harvard goals. With BC's having trouble getting it deep, one might think that Andrew Orpik's physical play will come in handy as the Eagles amend their game plan to more of a dump-and-chase style.
