Predictions for Jan. 21-23

Plattsburgh @ RIT The matchup of the weekend and maybe the matchup of the year between two titans of the ECAC West. Even though the Tigers have been rolling along this season, I like the fact that Plattsburgh has faced some stiffer competition as of late and I think that propels the Cardinals to a 3-2 victory … Read more

Candace’s Picks: January 21

One week after going almost perfect, I had a pretty dismal picking performance, going 10-7-1 (.583). I think  the lesson to take away from it is that, barring Cornell, I should just stay away from ECAC games, as outside of Cornell, I was 0-3.  Overall on the season, I am now 93-36-15 (.697). Let’s try … Read more

Vermont power play: Let’s blow things up

Heading into last weekend’s series against Northeastern, Vermont’s struggles offensively could be linked to a number of things. The most notable, though, was the Cats power play.

Norwich ended up garnering a season series split with Plattsburgh with a 3-1 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday at the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena. The … Read more
