I just talked with UMaine Sports Information Director about this very subject. He says that both Maine and Northeastern get a tie, but NU gets 2 points and UM gets 1 point. I suppose there will be something in the standings about "shootout victories," hence the other point. Simply put, a game that goes into a shootout is a tie, plain and simple. The shootout is just for a point in HE standings. This also raises another question. Will HE playoff games be settled with a shootout? I, for one, hope not. +====================================================================+ |\ Jim Baines (a.k.a.
