 Ian,
 
I am just as confused. But the only time I saw them play was in the Beanpot.
This team did have a lot of talent. In the end though, probably losing three
big defensemen and Aaron Israel was something the team couldn't replace.
 
It reminds me of the 1989-90 squad that came off winning the NCAA title. They
also had a lot of talent returning and were ranked in the top 3 in the
preseason. It was Bill Cleary's final year as head coach and that team
actually finished under .500.
