BU is the class of Hockey East.  Maine can play well with BU & NU but is
really small like RPI and will get beat up by the more physical CCHA &
WCHA teams.  Northeastern is a physiical team but really is a mystery
after getting smoked by a mediocre denver team.

Watch out for Denver.  I think you'll find that they'll turn out to be far
from mediocre....
