To which I respond with a passage from the 1990-91 Princeton media guide,
recapping the 89-90 season...
 
"Princeton entered the new year in first place in the ECAC, and on Jan. 5,
a sell out crowd of 2,112 came to Baker Rink to watch the Tigers solidify
their hold on first place. (Andre) Faust scored a goal and added four assists
as Princeton walloped Yale, 6-1.
After the Tigers dropped three-of-four to fall from the top of the standings,
..."
 
Those Tigers wound up 12-14-1 overall, 11-10-1 in the ECAC and in 7th place,
losing to Yale in the first-ever Tuesday night preliminary playoff round
game. It was probably the most talented Princeton team of the modern era,
with Faust, Mike McKee and Greg Polaski all earning 2nd team league honors.
I'd be willing to bet that Don Cahoon could have led that team to the NCAA
tournament.
