Tonight’s matchup at Messa Rink pitted first-place Union against last-place Colgate, with both teams coming off impressive wins the night before. The Raiders jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead, but the Dutchmen came alive after that, scoring five unanswered goals before pulling out a 6-3 victory. “They’re a very good hockey team and … Read more

I had a smoking week last week, going 16-3-2 (.809), including correctly picking the Beanpot winners, to improve my record  on the year to 134-47-17 (.719). It’s hard to believe there are only three weeks left in the season. Let’s dive into this week’s picks. Friday-Saturday, February 11-12 Mercyhurst at Syracuse: The Orange have emerged … Read more

In front of a sellout crowd of 7,571 at the World Arena, the No. 20 Colorado College Tigers beat the No. 2 Denver Pioneers, 3-2, in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the score might indicate. “For us, it’s a huge win; we’re able to beat a top five team two weeks in … Read more

With Wisconsin scoring another shootout win last week, I did pretty good in my picks, going 14-5 (.736). That brings my overall record to 118-44-15 (.709). We’ve only got four weeks left in the season, and while a few teams are a virtual lock for the post-season, there is still some room for positioning. Let’s … Read more

I, for the most part, righted the ship last week, going 11-3 (.785). I’m calling Wisconsin’s shootout win a win, so there it is. One thing I think that we can take away from last weekend is that Minnesota is one of the hottest teams in the country right now. For a while, the Gophers … Read more

The Lake Superior State Lakers got a dose of revenge on the Western Michigan Broncos on Saturday night. On Friday night the Lakers were outscored 3-1 in a shootout at the hands of the Broncos. Saturday night saw the two teams back in a shootout, after skating to a 5-5 draw, and this time the … Read more

For the second straight night, the No. 5 Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs held the host Michigan Tech Huskies to 14 shots and no goals as they picked up another shutout in a 3-0 blanking of the Huskies Saturday night at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena. The Bulldogs had another big night from forward J.T. Brown, who picked … Read more

Before Saturday night, Bentley’s last win was November 27 against Canisius. Over the almost-two months since, the Falcons coughed up third-period leads to Air Force, RIT, and Robert Morris. They fell behind early and lost a mad-dash finish to Air Force, and they bottomed out on Friday, when a six-goal second period paced Mercyhurst to … Read more

One week after going almost perfect, I had a pretty dismal picking performance, going 10-7-1 (.583). I think  the lesson to take away from it is that, barring Cornell, I should just stay away from ECAC games, as outside of Cornell, I was 0-3.  Overall on the season, I am now 93-36-15 (.697). Let’s try … Read more

I pretty much rocked it last week, going 11-0-1 (.958). In fact, regarding the one tie, I did say in my write-ups, “The Catamounts will probably play the Sioux tough, and one tie is possible.” Dang those Catamounts and their ties (nine and counting!). On the season, I am now 83-29-14 (.714). Let’s see how … Read more

In a game that featured odd-bounces and a shot that went through the net, John Albert and Sergio Somma sparked an Ohio State Buckeyes five-goal third period rally to comlete the sweep over the No. 7 Miami RedHawks 5-2 Saturday evening. It is Ohio State’s first weekend sweep of Miami since October, 2004. Miami has … Read more

Well, I finished the first half strong, going 8-2-1 (.772). Overall on the season, I am 72-29-13 (.688). Almost all of the top teams are in action this weekend, so let’s get right back to it. Friday-Saturday, January 7-8 Syracuse at Mercyhurst: Syracuse has scored some decent wins this year, showing signs that they may … Read more
