If Maine does what it should the next four games the Bears could be atop Hockey East on Miracle Day. That doesn't mean they'll win the title - other teams will have multiple games in hand - but home ice is almost guaranteed. But Maine has to beat UConn twice to get there. Two wins in six years...

They can do it, there's no room for error now. At this point it's up to the team. Not sure how much Red will help.

Averaging <2.5 GPG would seem to put them in No-wheres-ville, but they're certainly in the conversation right now, which is kinda amazing.
If this team is going anywhere, it'll be because of the excellent goal-tending and the very decent D.
They get a bid, they have a shot at the FF. I actually believe that. But the getting-in will the hard part. Maine is only a couple of mis-steps from dropping completely out of the PW picture.I believe in equality of effort. In life, in hockey in everything.

Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year

Originally posted by UncleRay View Post"Home ice is almost guaranteed."??? Maine isn't catching UMass. Not catching Lowell - they've got a game in hand. We're "tied" with BC right now, but they have not one, but two games in hand. That's three teams that will clearly finish the season ahead of Maine. BU is only one point back and has a game in hand. UHN is only a point back. And UConn is only two points back, has a game in hand, and will face da Bears for two this weekend - which means the status of just those two teams could look a LOT different in a week's time. Guaranteed? I'm too busy to look at all the upcoming games in the league, but I don't think they're even guaranteed a top 8 finish.

Lowell has 2 with UMass, 2 with NU and 2 with UNH.
BC has 2 with NU, 2 with UNH and 1 with BU.
I think that things are pretty much up in there air right now.
