TSN's (and former NHL goalie) Jamie McLennan talks about why soon to be NHL Hall Of Famer Pavel Bure was almost impossible to stop for NHL goaltenders

Tonight the Harvard Crimson host the Yale Bulldogs in ECAC Hockey action. Two Canucks' prospects will play, in Harvard sophomore defenseman Patrick McNally and Yale freshman forward Matthew Beattie.
