\nDave’s last week:<\/strong> 10-5-2
\nJim’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 64-46-11
\nDave’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 68-42-11<\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Even though they’re at home, I don’t have much confidence in BU right now.
\nMC 4, BU 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: A terribly tough call to kick off a week loaded with tough calls. While firing on all cylinders in the first semester, both clubs played as well as any in the country. Now… I’m going with BU, but I wouldn’t bet the ranch on it.
\nBU 3, MC 2 (OT)<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Vermont played a decent game at Maine on Wednesday but they’re injured and have struggled so much I can’t pick them. This one is going to the Minutemen.
\nUMass 3, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Maybe Fenway Park is what the Catamounts need, but I don’t think so.
\nUMass 4, UVM 2 <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Maine continues on a roll to being the second half.
\nMaine 4, UNH 2 <\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: My wife has called me the Most Stubborn Man on Earth, and I’m going to prove it with yet another pick for the Wildcats.
\nUNH 5, Maine 4<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Probably the toughest game of the weekend to pick, so I’ll go with home ice.
\nBC 3, MC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Eagles have been up-and-down of late, but I see them kicking off a hot streak here.
\nBC 4, MC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Let’s see… both teams lost last week at home to Brown, 5-2. Should I pick a tie here? Nah, just go with home ice yet again.
\nPC 4, UNH 1<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Call it a Stubbornness doubleheader, but I’m going again with UNH, this time to get its first road win of the year.
\nUNH 3, PC 2 (OT) <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
