Wayne, pretty good job picking the seeds, but I guess it didn't matter
where you put CC since they didn't make it!!
I'm quite happy with Maine's draw. Albany will be a good venue and with
no other Hockey East teams there Maine should dominate the fans.
Harvard and Ohio State/Wisconsin are certainly winnable games.
