As much as I am glad that Merrimack has finally reached the HE semis, is
not their victory in some way a confirmation of the Merrimack's
administration evaluation of Anderson?  Could not the question be, if they
are good enough to beat BU on their home ice, why did they not win more
then 4 games during the entire HE season?
