Is there a date set when we'll hear the final word on Maine's post-season eligibility and television sanctions? Ever since last Monday's Beanpot telecast, I've been hearing/seeing all these comments about Maine possibly competing in the HockeyEast playoffs. Yet, I haven't heard/seen anything specific about the appeal process or why everyone is so suddenly optimistic about what had been generally understood as an extreme "longshot" at best. Thanks, Paul.
