A little belated jump on the picks blog for this weekend as I sit in the lobby at Connecticut’s Freitas Ice Forum. Not a good start in holiday tournament play for the ECAC as Clarkson fell 6-1 to Maine in Florida, and RPI lost 7-2 to UMass-Lowell in a game that was just as bad … Read more

My first ECAC weekend picks come just as Yale wrapped up a win over Brown in some Thursday night college hockey action. Brown actually led 2-0 early, but the Bulldogs ripped off three goals in the third period to go ahead for good. Brian O’Neill led the way with two scores while Andrew Miller had … Read more
