With just one more day to play in the regular season, there are still
some important games.  Here's the situation as I see it ...

BC (plays @ME) - BC has clinched 1st. Will host the 8th place team
(either BU or NU) in a best 2 out of three games next weekend.

ME (plays BC) - ME has clinched 2nd. Will host the 7th place team
(either MC or UML).

UMA (plays NU) - UMA has clinched home ice and 3rd or 4th place.  A win
or a tie with NU gives UMA 3rd place (and will play either MC or UML).
With a UNH win and UMA loss,  UMA gets 4th place (and will play PC).

UNH (plays BU) - UNH has clinched home ice and 3rd or 4th place.  A UNH
win and a UMA loss gives UNH 3rd place (and will play either MC or
UML).  Any other combination gives UNH 4th place (and will play PC).

PC (plays UML) - PC has clinched 5th place (and will play either UNH or
UMA).

MC (no more games) - MC will finish 6th (if a UML loss or tie) or 7th
(if UML win).  If 6th, will play  UNH or UMA. If 7th, will play ME.

UML (plays @PC) - UML will finish 6th with a win and 7th otherwise. If
6th, will play  UNH or UMA. If 7th, will play ME.

BU (plays @UNH) - BU will finish 8th with a win or NU loss or tie,
otherwise 9th (out of playoffs).  If 8th, will play BC.

NU (plays @UMA) - NU will finish 8th with a win and a BU loss or tie,
otherwise 9th (out of playoffs).  If 8th, will play BC.

Today's HEA games:

BC @ ME
UML @ PC
