Hockey East on the Decline?

I found this post in my email from the hockey list last night: I wonder if this has anyone concerned on the east coast? Actually I had to take a double take to make sure it wasn't a miss print.

Hockey East did NOT fare very well last night. In eight games, Hockey East went 1-7 with the lone victory coming from Merrimack (4-2 over Niagara). There were some very surprising results too, such as New Hampshire losing an exhibition to New Brunswick and BU falling to Robert Morris. -Deron

I believe the most stunning loses are New Hampshire losing to a Canadian University and Hockey East power house Boston University losing to Robert Morris.
