Jeff, my point earlier about Soucy is exactly what you pointed out.  I think
he started off pretty slowly this year.  But I also thought that when I saw
him last year he wasn't all that great.  However, I do admit that he is a good
goalie, and if he continues playing at his current level, Vermont might do well
in the ECAC playoffs.
 
I just want to reiterate my main point again, and that is that I think Neil
Little has quietly had one of the best years in net for the Engineers.  He has
been consistent throughout the year and has been the primary reason RPI is
doing as well as they are.  I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks when
playoffs start. :-)
