       Let's not forget the BC thrashing of UNH a couple of weeks ago, which
gave BC a first place in HE. Jerry Yorks' team played to a level common to
the 'days of old' back when the Eagles had their 'HEM' line. The following
weeks, UNH blew Merrimack and BU off their **home** ice. BC's back-to-back
wins over UNH gives them all the confidence needed coming into Orono. The
Alfond fans owe their attendance to the team, as this series will show how
much toughness our Bears have, and return Black Bear pride, given the
                                **home**  ice advantage.
