David H. HendricksonThese are the three things I think I learned this week. 1. All four Beanpot schools are going into Monday night’s games on high notes. Boston College and Boston University polished off Notre Dame and Merrimack, respectively, by identical 4-0 scores. The Eagles get the extra tip of the fedora considering that Notre Dame was … Read more
DURHAM, N.H. — Notre Dame extended its unbeaten streak to 11 games with a dominating 5-1 road thumping of New Hampshire. The Irish scored just 3:12 into the game, led 2-0 minutes later and 4-0 midway though the second period. At no point after the opening minutes did the outcome appear in doubt. “That team … Read more
Jim and I had pretty good weeks, but both games we differed on ended as ties so I made up no ground. So that’s a good week for him and a bad one for me. Dave last week: 8-2-3 Jim last week: 8-2-3 Dave’s record-to-date: 117-52-30 Jim’s record-to-date: 120-49-30 Here are this week’s picks: Friday, Jan. 22 Massachusetts-Lowell at … Read more

The Fighting Irish take a 10-game unbeaten streak into a series at New Hampshire this weekend.
These are the three things I think I learned this week. 1. It was great to see the first full weekend of Hockey East play. Hey, I like the prime nonconference games as much as the next guy. But it was great to see the first full slate of six league games on Friday and … Read more

Boston College defenseman Ian McCoshen powered home a slap shot from the point at 17:50 of the third, then added an empty-netter in the closing seconds to give the Eagles a 5-3 win over arch-rival Boston University. The moment in the offensive limelight was a fitting one considering that McCoshen had made two gigantic defensive … Read more
Holee smokes! I’ve shaved two games off Jim’s lead. Something good must have been in my holiday eggnog. Dave last week: 7-3-3 Jim last week: 5-5-3 Dave’s record-to-date: 100-46-25 Jim’s record-to-date: 103-43-25 Here are this week’s picks: Friday, Jan. 8 Providence at Boston College Dave’s pick: I think there’s a razor-thin difference between these two clubs, so I’m going … Read more

Providence and Boston College play a home-and-home series, while there are a number of key nonconference games that can help league teams’ PairWise position.
These are the three things I think I learned this week. 1. Providence is mortal. The Friars went longer than any other team before sustaining a loss, but since the holiday break they’ve lost two of their last three. Losing in overtime to a 9-2-2 Cornell team in the first game out of the break … Read more

The Huskies beat first-place Massachusetts-Lowell twice last weekend but think back to a negative result shortly after one of their last big wins.
These are the three things I think I learned this week. 1. Connecticut sweeps Massachusetts-Lowell! UConn got off to a surprisingly strong start in Hockey East last year, but came into the weekend struggling with a 1-7-0 league record. And since the Huskies were facing a Lowell squad that was undefeated in Hockey East play, … Read more
