\nDave last week: <\/strong>6-4-1
\nJim to date: <\/strong>41-18-5
\nDave last week: <\/strong>39-20-5<\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: The renewal of college hockey’s best rivalry will be a bit different without Jack Parker on the BU bench. That, though, has no impact on why I’m picking against the Terriers.
\nBC 4, BU 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Both teams have had some rough moments in the early going. I’m confident BC has turned the corner, but I’m not as sure about BU.
\nBC 4, BU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: I love the way Providence is playing right now and though Merrimack can be tough at home, I’m going the way of the Friars.
\nPC 3, MC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I’m also taking the Friars. They’re one blown lead away from being undefeated.
\nPC 4, MC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: I’m impressed with the Catamounts right now and, even on the road, think they will win the opener of this series.
\nUVM 5, Maine 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: We’re going to differ on this one. I’m sticking with the Black Bears at home.
\nMaine 3, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: This is a home-and-home this year and I think the home teams will hold the advantage.
\nUNH 3, UMass 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: This may well be as much of a must-win game for UNH as exists this early in the year.
\nUNH 4, UMass 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Hard to pick against the number one team in the nation but I’m going to do exactly that on Friday.
\nUND 4, Minn. 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Not me. The Gophers aren’t the number one team for nothing.
\nMinn. 3, UND 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: If this series were in Burlington, I’d pick a Cats sweep. But it’s not.
\nMaine 3, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I’m going with a Black Bears sweep as they stay undefeated at home.
\nMaine 3, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: The Friars continue to roll early in the season.
\nPC 4, MC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Agreed. Providence will go to 6-0-0 at home.
\nPC 3, MC 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Home teams dominate this series.
\nUMass 4, UNH 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Wildcats have struggled mightily, but a sweep gets them to 3-5-1.
\nUNH 3, UMass 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: I think this is a more difficult pick that it may appear on the surface as I think NU could pull the upset. Still, I can’t pick that one with Lowell at home.
\nUML 4, NU 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I’d pick Lowell in this one no matter if it’s played at the Tsongas, Matthews Arena, or on Mars.
\nUML 4, NU 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Minnesota earns the spilt but will the Gophers remain number one?
\nMinn. 3, UMD 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I probably should go with a split here, but I’m believing in the Gophers until proven otherwise.
\nMinn. 4, UND 3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Army may be one of the hardest working teams in college hockey but still are no match for BC.
\nBC 5, Army 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Agreed. This one won’t be close.
\nBC 4, Army 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Don’t think this will be an easy game but still should be a road win for the River Hawks.
\nUML 3, PU 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The River Hawks continue to roll.
\nUML 4, PU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: This is a very good Brown team that I believe may frustrate the Wildcats.
\nBrown 3, UNH 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Call me crazy, but I’m picking a team that entered the weekend 1-5-1 to sweep its three games.
\nUNH 2, Brown 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Though UMass always gives BC fits at the Mullins Center, I still can’t pick against the Eagles.
\nBC 3, UMass 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Agreed. Home or away, I’m going with the Eagles in this matchup.
\nBC 3, UMass 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: First of a two-game series is all River Hawks.
\nUML 5, PSU 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The River Hawks should dominate this one.
\nUML 4, PSU 1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
