Correct me if I'm wrong, but if Maine wants to stay in the east this would be bad news, right? I would expect that if they become the fourth #1, they are almost certainly destined for Missouri, right? Even if they beat both the Terriers and Eagles on the way to a HEA title, they aren't going to pass either of them in the PWR, and the NCAA will (justifiably) not protect the #4 seed ahead of the #1 or #2 seed in terms of keeping them close to home.

She definitely had it right.

In terms of emotional losses in my sports fan life, last night is not even on the list.

This is correct. An example of why winning doesn't always benefit you in the Pairwise.
Thanks for confirming. If Maine does land as a #2 seed (which the CHN probability has at about 96%), what are the odds they stay in the east? Do you think if they finish as the #5 or #6 overall seed they could get shipped west anyway to preserve the serpentine placing of the bracket, or would attendance override that?

Can we be done with the Republican or Democrat circle jerk? Don’t give a cr*p who you voted for, don’t care who Chucky votes for, let’s celebrate one of the best hockey teams we’ve seen in a decade in Orono and focus on BU and the national tournament! Go Blue!
Finally some common sense.

I think having four BTHC teams in the 2/3 band will destroy any chance of a perfect serpentine bracket, so the committee will be free to maximize attendance. You have the added threat of four LTHC teams in the 1/4 band (one of whom is a host).
With Providence eliminated from contention as a 3 seed (could still conceivably back in as a 4) there is no conflict that could force a #2 seed Maine team west.

I just got that email as well. My mind will be much more at ease when they deliver my tickets. I managed to grab the last four in the Deck. Always a good time!

I don’t understand that either. If you watch him on the bench it’s obvious the guys like him. He said something to Boija last night as he was leaving the ice and Boija was waiting for the third star announcement. Boija burst out laughing, huge smile on his face.

Out of curiousity, what does that list look like then?
I don't think it has anything to do with his relationship with the players or his ability to coach. He does appear to have an unhealthy life style and looks like a "walking heart attack".

I don’t actually have a list, but here a few that come to mind: UNH hockey losses - 1999, 2003 NCAA finals, the 7 - 2 loss to Maine, the RIT NCAA loss. 1967 World Series game seven. 1975 World Series game seven. 1986 World Series game six. Bucky Fucking Dent. 1988 NBA Eastern Conference finals game six - only minor damage when the battery cover came off and the batteries popped out as the remote hit the television screen. 1976 AFC Divisional playoff game Patriots vs. Raiders. 2006 AFC Divisional playoff game Patriots vs. Broncos. The Malcolm Butler Super Bowl. The absolute worst was the Jets beating my beloved Colts in Super Bowl III. I cried.

Wowza I didn't realize we are 1-9 against BU in the last 10 games

Damn, you're as old as me, if you remember THAT!
My Dad was from Maine. For whatever reason, he loved Johnny Unitas, and that made me a Baltimore fan.
I was a kid when Broadway Joe won that one. It still hurts to remember Orr all alone in the end zone during the opening drive.
I'll get over it someday, or not.

Pretty good highlights showing more than just scoring plays… https://youtu.be/UO6QqWAMauQ?si=jRb84yARrrH0poDB
