Well I'm in Michigan at the moment...

But I do think UNH is better than what most anticipated heading into the
season. Hindsight says "yeah UNH is just being the typical UNH", but heading
into the season I think most people thought they were a 5th place team in
hockey east this year. They end up taking only 1 out of 4 points the final
weekend to hand BC the hockey east regular season title, so that is a
considerable difference from 5th place. Having said all this I think Maine
is the better team, and the team that will do the damage out of hockey east.

Cory, I think you've been poisoned by the local media down there!  ;-)
