All right. I was wrong. Well not totally wrong, just a tad shortsighted. Below is the poorly tabbed, but otherwise accurate playoff picture right from Hockey East.

I hadn't factored in three, four and a potential five-way tie-breakers.

So here's the deal:

Rk. Team GP Record Pts. Max Pos. Seed Remaining Opponents
1. New Hampshire * & 26 15-5-6 36 38 1 at BC
2. Boston College  * &  26 15-8-3 33 35 2 vs. UNH
3. Maine * 26 13-11-2 28 30 3-5 vs. UMass
4. UMass-Lowell * 26 12-11-3 27 29 3-7 vs. UVM
5. Boston University * 26 12-12-2 26 28 3-8 at NU
6. Merrimack 26 12-13-1 25 27 5-9 vs. PC
7. Massachusetts 26 12-14-0 24 26 6-9 at Maine
 Northeastern  26 11-13-2 24 26 5-9 vs. BU
 Vermont  26 9-11-6 24 26 5-9 at UML
10. Providence  26 5-18-3 13 15 10 at MC
* clinched playoff berth; & clinched quarterfinal playoff home ice
Tie-breakers:
1. Head-to-Head.
2. Number of wins in conference play.
3. Best record against the first-place team(s), then the second-place team(s), then the third-place team(s), and so on.
4. Coin Flip.
If more than two teams finish in a tie, the same criteria will be applied to reduce the number of teams tied, and then the process
will commence again.
