With back-to-back 4-2 weeks, the overall prognostication record has crept over the .500 mark at 23-19-2. My downfall continues to be my misplaced faith in the underdog as I expected Lawrence and St. Scholastica to at least snag one game on home ice in their respective series last weekend.

The topsy-turvy world of the two interlocking conferences continued this weekend, with yet again more surprises in the games’ outcomes. There were only a handful of 2-0-0 teams on the weekend, including Castleton, which at 15-2-0 isn’t surprising anyone with its  play at home or on the road. Even Middlebury’s first four-point weekend of the … Read more

By my count, I’m sitting at 57-35 entering the weekend, although in the words of one famous politician, that’s some fuzzy math.  … Read more

Two ties last weekend – Adrian and Milwaukee School of Engineering’s 2-2 stalemate and Hamline and Bethel’s 4-4 draw – overshadowed an otherwise 4-0 week in the pick’s department. The overall mark stands at 19-17-2, or 19-19 if the ties count as losses. Either way, I won’t quibble. The MCHA, MIAC and NCHA slate this … Read more

Finally! A week where my winners outnumbered the losing picks by more than one. I would like to think, or at least I believe the coaches are letting me think that it is not my ineptitude as much as it is the level of play amongst all of the teams in the two conferences. Can i … Read more

Continentals on the Move For some, the upset of #1 ranked Oswego by Hamilton at the Lakers holiday tournament may have been a bit of luck or the NESCAC school taking advantage of a back-up goaltender.

St. Olaf’s victory over then-No. 5 Gustavus Adolphus last weekend prevented me from reaching the pantheon of prognostication mediocrity. I was spot on in predicting the outcomes of the Adrian-Buffalo State and St. Thomas-Wisconsin-Eau Claire games, though, finishing 2-1 to bring the season ledger to 15-17. This weekend’s slate features an array of appetizing inner-league … Read more
