Weekend picks: Dec. 19-20

Hey guys, Jack checking in. Home stretch here, and there are some great series this weekend. However, one weird thing I’ve noticed that I don’t like: Too many teams have off weekends in the last month of the season. This week, Minnesota State takes is idle and Ferris State plays a single nonconference game. Last … Read more

Three thoughts: Return to Splitsville

Three league series this past weekend, and all ended up with splits (or the equivalent two ties). Let’s go over them: 1. Weird weekend in Huntsville keeps UAH hopes alive One likely won’t come across a weirder series than the one between Alabama Huntsville and Minnesota State this weekend in Alabama. On Friday, the Mavericks … Read more

WCHA picks, Feb. 5-9

Shane here … Jack and I visited Splitsville, and I ended up on the right side of the tracks, while Jack found out what the wrong side looked like. I not only got the North Star College Cup games right, but nailed two of the scores and was an empty-netter away from getting three, maybe … Read more

Three things: Huskies close the gap with three-point weekend

Michigan Tech’s road unbeaten streak hit eight this weekend, and in the process inched closer to Bowling Green in the WCHA standings. The Huskies earned the 4-4 tie in Friday night’s game in Bowling Green before scoring four more goals in Saturday’s 4-1 win. It’s the second-straight three-point weekend for Tech — both against the … Read more

Pickin’ the WCHA, Jan. 29-31

Hey, it’s the last weekend of January! That means there’s (basically) a month left in the college hockey season. As per usual, absolutely nothing has been decided in the WCHA, and likely won’t until the season’s last weekend (again). There are only two conference series this weekend, but both are extremely meaningful to the standings. … Read more

Pickin’ the WCHA: Jan. 21-23

Shane here … Believe it or not, I made it home from Houghton unscathed on Sunday despite the fact that the town got 27 or so inches of lake-effect snow last Saturday while I was there for the Minnesota State-Michigan Tech series. While I was worried about getting out of town, the Yoopers basically said, … Read more

Three things: More overtime, but ground gained?

1. Tech beats MSU (finally), and gains some ground For once, a key WCHA series this weekend didn’t end in a split. Michigan Tech took three of four points from conference leaders Minnesota State in a (very snowy) Houghton on Friday and Saturday. Despite the crazy lake-effect snow on Saturday night, 3,153 people saw the Huskies … Read more

Weekend picks, Jan. 15-16

Hey all. Luckily, for your sake, I didn’t try something dumb like think of a David Bowie lyric to go with each series this weekend. OK, I tried for like 20 minutes but quit and just decided to listen to the albums Low and Aladdin Sane instead while making my picks. I also wasted time … Read more
