In response to bradley
Freshman wall-hitting is not an uncommon phenomenon. It's a long, grueling season for them, much tougher than what they probably had to endure at the HS level. Look at Brodeur's dropoff during the final third of last season. Part of that can be explained by conference opponents keying on him, but fatigue was almost certainly a factor as well. This season he seems to be getting stronger as the season progresses. My expectation is that Princeton's freshmen will show a similar progression next year.
