Plattsburgh @ RIT The matchup of the weekend and maybe the matchup of the year between two titans of the ECAC West. Even though the Tigers have been rolling along this season, I like the fact that Plattsburgh has faced some stiffer competition as of late and I think that propels the Cardinals to a 3-2 victory … Read more

Fit To Be Tied (or split) It’s amazing to me how many of the top teams tied actual games over the past weekend or tied a season series. Norwich ended up garnering a season series split with Plattsburgh with a 3-1 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday at the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena. The … Read more
