It was reported today in the Bangor Daily News, what we all knew from
Mike Machnik's posting on 14 July ...

In addition, it was confirmed that the semis and finals *and* a
consolation game, presumably for the benefit of the participants in the
eyes of the NCAA tournament selection committee.
Hockey East Commissioner Stu Haskell was quoted as having a "handshake"
commitment to the Boston Garden for the next 3 years, especially looking
forward to staging the HE tournament in the NEW Boston Garden, when it
becomes available.

P.S. The Alfond Arena reconstruction is *still* not complete, but is
getting closer. The new seating is not installed, but the permanent
flooring for it finally is. Piles and piles of bags of insulation
sit around the arena, presumably to cover (what was the beautiful)
wooden ceiling.
P.P.S. Maine signed a goalie (Marsh?) out of the Vancouver area. He is
expected to red-shirt next season, as breaking into the Dunham-Snow
show would be difficult.
Still more ... Roy's 3-year deal with the Rangers @$300,000/yr with a
signing bonus is a two-way contract. If Jean-Yves fails to make the
parent club, he would see a significantly lower (unspecified) amount.
More rambling ... IMHO, outshining Bob Beers, Keith Carney, Eric
Weinrich and others on defense at the recent alumni game was BRIAN
STRAUB. Expect Brian to be a force in Kalamazoo next season and to
maybe move up.
