John, it would have been "early" to gloat prior to the game.   My comments
were limited to the single game result; hell, Quimby and the Ambroses of
this world take great pleasure in any failure of Maine vs. New Hampshire.
I would not have been surprised to see many pro-New Hampshire comments
posted to HOCKEY-L and to this list had we lost, even if it had been as
close as our victory.   I even said in a post that Maine's only hope to get
in the tournament was to win the Hockey East postseason competition.  That
is realism, not gloating.
 
If I had REALLY intended to gloat, my comments would have gone to HOCKEY-L
also; as it is, I limited myself to a list comprised primarily of Maine
supporters.
 
Can't a guy have a little fun ???
