What's Up This Year?

So everyone knows that Cornell is an awesome hockey team.
But what is up witht them this year?
They've done really well in games like the one in Florida against UNH when UNH was number two in the country, but they hve trouble sometimes winning against teams that are doing horrible this year.
And the ECACHL isn't as good as usual. Last year, some teams, including Cornell and harvard, had 3 or less losses in the league. But this year I don't think there is ayone with less than 5. And harvard has always been one of the top teams, even though they suck, where as some of the top teams this year have been in the bottom few before.
So why is it like this this year?
Cornell's trouble may be blamed on having so many freshman, but honestly, they have the most points total.
And the whole league not doing as well, is that a result of the rule changes?
I really have no clue what is up this year, but f you know, tell me.

Well not to start and redo everything we've said over the last few months (really we've analyzed this to death), but the stat you quote is probably the best one to signify our problem. You rarely win if you mainly depend upon newcomers.

Not only that, but when you add up the total ECACHL in-conference record, it's only .500!

On the other hand, all twelve teams reached the playoffs!!

yes, we probably need more parity in the league. the same 12 teams that made the playoffs last year returned this year!

I'm going to build a sarcasm detector and test it on all of you, because that will be a really useful device, and then I'll have something really fucking marketable.

Bless your wittiness guys, it makes the world turn.
