Outstanding job by the Sayles family in their post.

I would say that the possibility that BC will tank one of the games in order
to "rest" for the HE Tournament is strong. My guess is that it will be one
BC win and a tie this weekend.  I think we all need UMass Lowell wins this
weekend also.

Jerry York does not impress me as one who plays out these PWR scenarios in
order to "get" a team.  If we were playing Boston University and Jack Parker
this weekend, however, you all know he would be salivating over the chance
to put the dagger into Maine this season, and slowly twissst. (think of what
Vito Andolini did when he returned to Corleone in GF II)

It certainly helps that we have home ice in the first round of HE Tournament
  presumably against Lowell.

More as we get closer to Friday night...
