He was almost exactly wrong.  ME gets 3 of 4 point at BU, but remains in
3rd pla UNH beats BC to win the HEA regular season title and lock BC
into 6th place.

The final positions are:

1 New Hampshire
2 Boston University
3 Maine
4 UMass-Lowell
5 Northeastern
6 Boston College
7 Providence
8 Merrimack
9 UMass-Amherst

Thursday & Friday BC will play at ME, and NU will play at UML, with any
1-1 win tie broken on Saturday night.

Friday & Saturday MC will play at UNH, and PC will play at BU (with
tiebreaker Sunday if required).

Maine will get slightly more rest before Thursday, as BC ends their
regular season tomorrow (Sunday) at 4pm hosting UNH.

Finally: Colin Shields apparently was assessed a game misconduct, not
game disqualification, early in the 3rd period, and *will* be eligible
for the Thrusday opener with BC.  G-o-B-L-U-E!
