Happy New Year, everyone! We have one more weekend of nonconference play before the battle for the Big Ten title resumes in earnest. First, let’s look at how Drew Claussen and I enter the second half of our season-long picks battle. (Hint: He’s winning by a lot.) Last week Drew: 4-3-0 (.571) Paula: 4-3-0 (.571) … Read more

It’s so strange that just last week, Drew Claussen was hoping that your Thanksgiving had been a good one. This week, I’m wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a Happy Kwanzaa! These are the last games for Big Ten teams until Ohio State hosts Colgate Dec. 27-28. Drew and I will have a … Read more

When Wisconsin won its first game this season with an 11-goal performance and followed that up with a sweep of Minnesota Duluth in which the Badgers outscored the Bulldogs 9-3, there was a lot of talk about a high-powered offense and what a fast start could mean to a season (photo: Jim Rosvold).

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I have a lot to be thankful for — not the least of which is college hockey. My picks record, though, does not get noted in the gratitude journal. Drew Claussen and I were both cursed with a case of the wrong-way splits last weekend for the Ohio State-Penn State series. I … Read more

I’m back and not a moment too soon, as Drew Claussen keeps inching further and further ahead of me. Will my presence actually make a difference? Probably not. Drew looks like a genius for picking Michigan State to sweep last week. I don’t look like an idiot, though, for that correct prediction of the Minnesota-Wisconsin … Read more

Last week, Drew and I were both rewarded for picking the Buckeyes to sweep the Wolverines – very risky, given the fierceness of that rivalry. I managed to edge him out for the week but I’m still playing catchup after his Halloween weekend picks perfection. Last week Drew: 5-3-0 (.625) Paula: 6-2-0 (750) This season … Read more

“We’re just not who we are yet.” This is how Penn State’s Guy Gadowsky describes his team five games into the season and on the eve of the Nittany Lions’ Big Ten opener against visiting Wisconsin (photo: Craig Houtz/Penn State Athletics).
It didn’t take long for Drew to pull ahead of me. He picked Ohio State to sweep Omaha and I picked the teams to split – but on the wrong nights. And, of course, I was punished for picking the Lakers to sweep the Wolverines. Last week Drew: 5-5-0 (.500) Paula: 4-6-0 (.400) This season … Read more
