While there is no certainty that we will be a number 1 seed, the
Hockey East tournament is not the determining factor for a #1 seed.
As Shawn taught us all long ago, the seedings are based on your
season long performance and in the current pairwaise Maine is #1.  I
share others concern that the current bracketology certainly shows
Maine and for that matter every other bracket with a tough road with
the exception of Minnesota.

The tournaments could provide for an upset which will change
everything and if Ohio State beats out Denver Maine will be back to a
Mercyhurst if they hold the 2nd #1 seed.  Should make for some fun
scoreboard watching!
