Matthew only picked series, but he did give a game number, while I gave scores. Based on that, I went 5-4 while Matthew went 4-5, as we didn&#8217;t see Denver and St. Cloud needing three games, and I&#8217;m assuming we got the Omaha-North Dakota order wrong, and I picked Duluth to sweep. On the year, I am 103-61-23 (.612), while Matthew is 97-67-23 (.580).<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t always done the best picking the Frozen Faceoff, but let&#8217;s go for it. Matthew got me his picks just before puck drop today, so I&#8217;ve updated this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>North Dakota versus St. Cloud State<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> NoDak is fighting for its NCAA tournament lives. A loss could effectively end their chances because of what happened in the WCHA tournament. Last year, North Dakota ended St. Cloud&#8217;s season. I&#8217;m guessing St. Cloud comes out motivated to do the same. <strong>St. Cloud State 3-2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:<\/strong> Three of these teams&#8217; four meetings so far this season went to overtime, and I wouldn&#8217;t be at all surprised for that to happen again and for SCSU to pull through. <strong>St. Cloud State 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Denver versus Minnesota Duluth<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> Denver looked really good in the third game against Colorado College last weekend, but sort of struggled for a lot of the first two games. If the DU that played Sunday comes out, this could be a Pioneers win. However, since DU has won five in a row against Duluth, I feel the Bulldogs are due. <strong>Minnesota Duluth 3-2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:\u00a0<\/strong>Eight of UMD&#8217;s last 11 losses to Denver (all in the teams&#8217; last 13 meetings) were in one-goal games For some reason, I have a feeling UMD is due here. <strong>Minnesota Duluth 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew and I correctly picked all the series, even if we didn&#8217;t do so hot in picking the games.
