What are the chances that Maine will be dis-allowed from playing in
this year's HE tourney?
 
   Those Fleet Center games are very important to the tourney selections
and seedings. Maine's semifinal upset over Lowell last year hurt their
seeding for sure!  .... And Maine wasn't even able to benefit from that
upset.
 
   Is "The Tourney" what its all about or what? If not, then this question is
moot.
 
   Granted, the Hockey East Championship is a great honor, but I assume
most view it as a stepping stone to larger things.
