Merrimack had a recent run, beating BC 2/2 so far with one game left, and
beating UNH in Snively, as Mike already posted.  So I guess I agree- BC
is out of it, too, 'cos only one game in hand isn't worth much.  The
battle there will be who wants to finish last the least.  UNH looks a bit
shaky of late, and I'd say Maine still has the capability to pull more
points out of their remaining schedule, perhaps regain home ice.
 
As the last MC-BC game has been postponed, that will most likely be the
game in which where each school finishes will be determined.
