Interesting disparity between RPI's rank in the RPI (13th, really 12 when
you get rid of Quinnipiac) and the USCHO poll.  I assume that has
something to do with the hot goalie factor. Nevetheless that's one of the
biggest differences I've seen.  In light of RPI's pathetic NC schedule, I
wouldn't be surprised to see an even greater disparity when the PWR is
compared.
 
OK, let's start pulling those ceramic dalmatians out of the display case.
