That is one of three things I learned this weekend in Hockey East: 1. League races from two through eight incredibly tight … Read more
With Dave on injured reserve, I went ahead and had my best week of the year to take a big lead in percentage points.

The team mathematically is still able to reach fifth place and a first-round playoff bye, but that has become a bit unrealistic with just three league games to play.
Matt Willows, a junior winger for New Hampshire, scored a natural hat trick in Monday’s 3-1 Wildcats victory over BU.
Last Monday night, Boston College won its fifth straight Beanpot. But that wasn’t the only trophy the Eagles received last week. That leads off the three things I learned this week: 1. Boston College clinches regular-season title So it seems a little bit early in the calendar, but the Hockey East regular season trophy is already decided. … Read more

So last week Dave, in his words, pulled the goalie. While his effort gained him some ground on me, it was only one game. Thus, with no more picking left for his this season (he had successful season-ending open-heart surgery on Tuesday, for those who haven’t been following along), I take the title for game … Read more

Notre Dame was just about a minute away from another lost weekend in Hockey East play. But then Bryan Rust saved the day, which leads the three things I learned this weekend. 1.

Last week, I gained another game on the old man. And seeing as this is his last week picking before season ending surgery, I’m curious to see whether or not Dave will go completely the opposite of me in hopes I tank so he can improve his winning percentage.

In a season where league members played more nonconference games than ever, Hockey East has a national-best 72-39-15 record.
BOSTON — It’s not too often you hear about Boston University being an underdog in the Beanpot. In Monday night’s semifinal nightcap of the 62nd Beanpot, the Terriers proved to be an underdog with a lot of fight, but even that fight simply wasn’t enough to beat one of the nation’s hottest teams as No. … Read more
