Hockey East plays the best 2 out of 3 in the first round.  All games in the
higher seed's building.

Merrimack is now in seventh place, Mass Amherest in eighth.  So assuming
Maine wins their appeal (as the above does) it would be:
 
8 UMA at 1 UNH
7 MC at 2 BU
6 PC at 3 Maine
5 BC at 4 UML
 
If Maine does not win their appeal, they are not eligible for the Hockey
East tournament, so the seedings currently would be:
 
8 NU at 1 UNH
7 UMA at 2 BU
6 MC at 3 UML
5 PC at 4 BC
