It’s hard to believe there are only two weeks left in the season before the playoffs begin. Instead of the CHA killing me last week, it was Hockey East. I went 22-8-3 (.712) to move to 331-96-49 (.746) on the year.<\/p>\n

Let’s see if I can stay above .750 on the regular season.<\/p>\n

Friday, Feb. 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cornell at Brown<\/strong>
\nHome ice could garner the Bears a win, considering how dreadful Cornell looked last week, but I’m going with the visitors. Cornell 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clarkson at Princeton<\/strong>
\nOne of the big games that has huge consequences in the conference. Clarkson 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Lawrence at Quinnipiac<\/strong>
\nThe Bobcats get back to the winning column after last week’s loss. Quinnipiac 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harvard at Rensselaer<\/strong>
\nHarvard is a team that seems to struggle from period to period, but I like the Crimson in this one. Harvard 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dartmouth at Union<\/strong>
\nDartmouth already got a win last week, and here they continue that trend. Dartmouth 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colgate at Yale<\/strong>
\nA potential trap game for the Raiders, but they come out on top. Colgate 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at Boston college<\/strong>
\nThis should be closer than the Beanpot final, but same result. Boston College 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday-Saturday, Feb. 12-13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lindenwood at Penn State<\/strong>
\nThis has split written all over it. Penn State 2-1, Lindenwood 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercyhurst at RIT<\/strong>
\nThe Lakers take one more step toward the regular season crown. Mercyhurst 3-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert Morris at Syracuse<\/strong>
\nThe Colonials can’t afford any more losses, but neither can the Orange. Syracuse 2-1, Robert Morris 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Connecticut<\/strong>
\nThe superior goaltending of the Huskies should ensure a sweep. Connecticut 3-2, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ohio State at Bemidji State<\/strong>
\nThe Buckeyes are showing improvement, but the Beavers are a team that does everything a bit better. Bemidji State 2-1, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota at Minnesota-Duluth<\/strong>
\nLook for the new fearsome top line of the Gophers to get points in both games. Minnesota 4-1, 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Cloud State at North Dakota<\/strong>
\nA hard one to pick, but I have to go with home ice in both games. North Dakota 3-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Feb. 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colgate at Brown<\/strong>
\nThe Raiders keep pace for home ice. Colgate 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Lawrence at Princeton<\/strong>
\nThe Tigers stay even with Colgate. Princeton 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clarkson at Quinnipiac<\/strong>
\nI think we see more cracks in the Bobcats’ armor. Clarkson 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dartmouth at Rensselaer<\/strong>
\nThis game depends entirely on which version of each team shows up. Rensselaer 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harvard at Union<\/strong>
\nThe Crimson keep their home ice hopes alive. Harvard 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cornell at Yale<\/strong>
\nA game that could go either way, so I’ll go with home ice. Yale 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday-Sunday, Feb. 13-14<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire versus Boston University (home-an-home)<\/strong>
\nThe Terriers are so inconsistent, but should have enough for a sweep. Boston University 2-1, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Providence versus Merrimack (home-an-home)<\/strong>
\nThe Warriors postseason hopes end here. Providence 2-1, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota State at Wisconsin<\/strong>
\nThe Badgers capture the WCHA crown this weekend. Wisconsin 3-1, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, Feb. 14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston College at Vermont<\/strong>
\nThe Eagles will clinch Hockey East by defeating the Catamounts, assuming I’m right about Friday’s game. Boston College 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
