The question is, will the Friars from PC show up *anywhere* this weekend.
Mike McShane has been searching in the Hockey East Lost and Found for the
Friar team that was on a rampage earlier this season, and all he's come
up with is an old pair of mittens that don't match.

Hey!  There's still an outside chance that this matchup won't happen, if
MC gets 3 pts more than NU this weekend.  Now *who* is tallying up
their Perdues?
 
Besides, we still have a secret weapon to unveil...have you seen those
guys named Khomoutov, Bykov and Kovalev walking around the campus in
North Andover lately?

Ouch.  Please don't remind me of our corny state slogan ("Don't Take New
Hampshire For Granite").  That thing is plastered on every item at the
checkout counters - tire gauges, playing cards, lighters.  At least it's
not on the ceramic dalmatians.
