We're 8 in USCHO. I don't have time to format it right now...

We played like a top-5 team on Friday and a top-20 team on Saturday. Let's hope we play more like the top-5 team this weekend.

Is the thread title to be contrasted with other, more meaningful polls? :-P

I always get a bit confused at the PWR stuff, so can someone explain to me:

1. How is it possible for Boston to have so many more points than us? I thought 2 points were awarded per game won, 1 per game tied, and 0 for losing. Their record shows them winning only 4 games more than us and tying once more, so wouldn't that be ((4x2)+1=)9 points difference?

2. What does LW stand for? A ranking of likelihood of winning is my best guess, but I really have no idea.

Thanks in advance for helping out a clueless fan :)

In these polls, PWR doesn't matter. Points are accumulated based on votes gotten from media, coaches, etc.
