TAMPA, Fla. — Some folks in the press are playing up the David-and-Goliath angle of the Ferris State-Union semifinal versus the Boston College-Minnesota game, even referring to the former as “junior varsity” as opposed to the alleged varsity game — the real game — between the Eagles and Golden Gophers. “I think that’s silly,” said … Read more

Paula C. Weston looks at the Bulldogs as they head to the 2012 Frozen Four in Tampa, Fla.
There won’t be any analysis or explanation with these picks. I just figured that if I don’t post something, tens of hockey fans will have one fewer thing to complain about on a Friday. Why would I want to deprive anyone of that pleasure? First, my numbers. They aren’t good. Last week: 1-3 Season to … Read more

With a 3-0 lead nearly midway through the third period of the 2012 CCHA championship game, Western Michigan watched Michigan score a shorthanded goal. Then WMU captain Ian Slater was sent off the ice for a five-minute major penalty and the Broncos saw the Wolverines score another. A third Michigan goal, though, wasn’t on the … Read more
It’s safe to say that nearly everybody who wasn’t rooting for Michigan in these CCHA playoffs was pulling for Bowling Green, the last-place team that played its way through two best-of-three road series to face the Wolverines in tonight’s second semifinal game, and when Bowling Green led 2-0 late into the second period, it looked … Read more
When I think about my second-round CCHA playoff picks, I hear Patsy Cline singing, “So Wrong,” over and over and over again. Obviously, you can’t take my picks to the bank. Last week: 5-6 Season to date: 131-88-25 (.588) If I’m above .500 after the first weekend in April, I’ll be happy. The bigger picture … Read more

I have a feeling about a specific upset this weekend — but I thought Northern Michigan would sweep and Alaska would win a game last weekend. You know by now never to take my picks to the bank. Last week: 4-4 Season to date: 126-82-25 (.594) Because it’s the playoffs and I call individual games … Read more
