Geez...why do you think that the suit was filed in Maine? Could it possibly
be that Hockey East is headquartered down the street in Orono?
This whole thing is ridiculous...Maine certainly was not the worst team in
Hockey East this season, and to believe so is ignorant and stupid. Forfeits
don't make the season, and whatever the eligibility status of Jeff Tory, Cal
Ingraham, and Patrice Tardif, you can't say that any one of them made a
significant difference in the quality of the UMaine team. It's not like we
went out and signed Wayne Gretzky, Sergei Fedorov and Jaromir Jagr to letters
of intent to play up here. It seems to me like a whole bunch of schools are
tired of being beaten on by UMaine, and this irrational fear is causing this
raft of negative publicity and voting against us. And don't think it's just
HE schools doing it...don't forget about the NAC shafting the women's basket-
ball team. It's all politics, and it's ridiculous........
