Somehow Dave’s non-participation in picks has brought out the best in me. A near-perfect week last weekend.
Jim last week: 8-0-2
Jim to date: 143-62-27 (.674)
Date to date: 123-65-24 (.637)
Friday, February 28
Northeastern at Boston University
Jim’s pick: The Huskies come into Parker Rink and spoil Jack Parker Night.
NU 4, BU 2
New Hampshire at Merrimack
Jim’s pick: UNH needs wins to have a shot at home ice and wins the Wildcats will get.
UNH 3, MC 2
Providence at Maine
Jim’s pick: This might be the best series of the weekend with the most on the line. First-round byes, home ice, NCAA footing all up for grabs in Orono.
Maine 3, PC 2
Massachusetts-Lowell at Vermont
Jim’s pick: This series has split written all over it. I just can’t figure out which team wins which night.
UML 3, UVM 2
Saturday, March 1
Notre Dame at Boston College
Jim’s pick: It was a great game when these two met at Fenway. Expect nothing different.
BC 4, ND 3
New Hampshire at Merrimack
Jim’s pick: The Wildcats complete a difficult – and much needed – road sweep.
UNH 4, MC 3
Providence at Maine
Jim’s pick: Friars earn the split to make the long ride back more pleasant.
PC 3, Maine 2
Boston University at Northeastern
Jim’s pick: Huskies sweep and wrap up home ice.
NU 5, BU 2
Massachusetts-Lowell at Vermont
Jim’s pick: My toughest pick of the week, but I have to take Vermont on Senior Night.
UVM 3, UML 2 (OT)
