What's interesting is the teams that fell out of that first poll.

Last year's results do not guarantee this year's success.

Hehe.  I don't have a problem posting or looking at polls.  It's relatively meaningless fun. It's just the "we forgot to post" comment that I was jumping on last time.

No problem!  Tongue in cheek from the beginning.  Not a "we forgot to post".  Actually, this is what I posted: "We're all so captured up in PWR that I don't believe that this week's polls were posted."

I kinda enjoyed it.  First time I got to call someone a Jerk on elf.::demented::

Suggest USCHO does another women's poll.

Once again I find myself wondering:  WTF happened to Kalemba this year?

2006-07:  .897, 2.77
2007-08:  .913, 2.43
2008-09:  .944, 1.48
2009-10:  .891, 3.33

Princeton graduated two of their top three scorers last year in Lee Jubinville and Brett Wilson, but no defensemen.  Why'd they fall off such a steep cliff defensively?

It looks more to me like WTF happened to Kalemba last year?

Well, he was improving every year, like you'd like a goalie to do. Then this year was his worst ever.::screwy::

Yeah, I mean, he was obviously locked in for a lot of last year, and I don't think you'd have expected him to be quite as good this year, but I don't think it would've been unreasonable to at least guess that his performance would be somewhere in between what he did his sophomore and junior years.

Do you ever need a reason to call someone a jerk on elf? :-P
