David H. HendricksonI’ve closed to within three after being down by five a few weeks ago. Here’s hoping I pick up two more this week. I’m making some risky picks, so if they don’t work out, I’ll just claim my anesthesiologist got to me early. Dave last week: 10-3-2 Jim last week: 9-4-2 Dave’s record-to-date: 108-58-22 Jim’s record-to-date: 111-55-22 Here are … Read more

The Eagles have a dominant top line and depth that’s providing a comfortable scoring margin.
These are the three things I think I learned this weekend. 1. The regular season title is Boston College’s to lose. The Eagles created more separation at the top of the Hockey East standings, defeating Boston University and Maine, while no other league team picked up four points in the standings. With a 10-1-1 Hockey … Read more

The puck got stuck in puddles, icing became a near physical impossibility, and players picked up what felt like five pounds of water on their sodden jerseys.
I picked up a single game on Jim last week. I don’t know whether that’s good news because it’s improvement or bad news because I needed more.

Columnist David H. Hendrickson looks at his top 15 memories since he started covering Hockey East for USCHO in 1996.
These are three things I think I learned this past week. 1. Some teams handled the loss of their players to the World Juniors better than others. This isn’t exactly front page news since you’d expect this outcome, at least to some extent. And a number of players, most notably from Boston College and Notre … Read more

David H. Hendrickson has once again intercepted mail from Hockey East arenas to the North Pole and is sharing it with you.
These are the three things I think I learned this past week. 1. Holy Cross woke a sleeping giant. Okay, maybe Boston College hadn’t been totally asleep. But the Eagles were already coming off a 5-1 loss to Maine when they hosted Holy Cross two weeks ago, so a drubbing seemed in order. Instead, the Crusaders pulled … Read more
