I had one of my worst weeks ever, including picking every single ECAC game wrong on Friday. The horror. Last week I went 13-13-4 (.500), while Nicole went 15-11-4 (.566). I still have the season lead, going 78-31-15 (.689), while Nicole is 72-37-15 (.641).<\/p>\n

Friday, Nov. 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 7 St. Lawrence at Brown<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Bears don’t have enough offense to win a shootout, or enough defense to hang in a close game. St. Lawrence 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> The Saints should win this. St. Lawrence 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at No. 5 Colgate<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> This will be a big test of both teams. I’ll go home ice. Colgate 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Colgate wins at home. Colgate 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at No. 8 Cornell<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Quinnipiac has looked alternately solid and awful. Cornell doesn’t have enough of a track record either way. Cornell 3-2
\nNicole: Cornell at home wins. Cornell 3-2 <\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 3 Clarkson at Yale<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Yale disappointed last week, and Clarkson is the best team in the conference. Clarkson 4-1
\nNicole: The Golden Knights win. Clarkson 5-1 <\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 9 Providence at No. 2 Boston College<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> This could be close, but I just think BC has too much firepower. Boston College 4-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This should be a tight game. BC takes it. Boston College 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday-Saturday, Nov. 3-4<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 10 Robert Morris at Lindenwood<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Lindenwood keeps surprising teams, and Robert Morris has looked inconsistent, but not enough for me to pick against them. Robert Morris 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Robert Morris should sweep this series. Robert Morris 3-1, 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercyhurst at Penn State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’m not completely sold on the Nittany Lions just yet. Mercyhurst 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> These two should split. Mercyhurst 3-2, Penn State 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vermont at New Hampshire<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I could probably flip a dozen coins and pick this series better. New Hampshire has looked strong though. New Hampshire 3-2, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> New Hampshire has been one of the early season surprises and they’re at home, so I’ll pick them to sweep. New Hampshire 3-1, 3-2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 6 Minnesota at Minnesota State<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Perhaps the Mavericks will keep one game close. Minnesota 3-2, 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Gophers should sweep. Minnesota 5-2, 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Cloud State at Minnesota Duluth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Can Duluth finally win back-to-back? Minnesota Duluth 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Duluth should take both of these at home. Minnesota Duluth 4-2, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

RIT at Boston University<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Terriers may have turned a corner last weekend. Boston University 3-2, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Boston University should be able to get back on track with a sweep at home. Boston University 3-0, 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merrimack at Union<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Union got some good wins last weekend, and is at home, but I like Merrimack to sweep. Merrimack 3-2, 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I think Union got some confidence last weekend. I’ll pick a split. Merrimack 3-1, Union 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rensselaer at Connecticut<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I think Connecticut might be one of the better Hockey East teams. Just a hunch though. Connecticut 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Not sure on this one. I’ll pick UConn in game one, RPI in game two. Connecticut 2-1, Rensselaer 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Nov. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 3 Clarkson at Brown<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Brown will get a win at some point, but not here. Clarkson 5-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Clarkson wins easily. Clarkson 4-0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at No. 5 Colgate<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> If the Bobcats can turn this into a defensive grind, they’ll have a chance, but I like the Raiders. Colgate 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Colgate takes it. Colgate 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princeton at No. 8 Cornell<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I don’t have a good handle on either team yet, so home ice is the pick. Cornell 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take Cornell. Cornell 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 7 St.Lawrence at Yale<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I expected more out of Yale last week, and they fell flat. St. Lawrence 3-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> St. Lawrence wins. St Lawrence 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 2 Boston College at Syracuse<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Boston College has too much offense for the Orange. Boston College 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> BC should take this. Boston College 3-0.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday\/Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 4 Ohio State at No. 1 Wisconsin<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> The marquee series of the weekend. Who’d have thunk it at the start of the season? The Badgers could be primed for a letdown after sweeping Minnesota last weekend, but I just think they will get two wins out of it. Wisconsin 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This is going to be a great series. I pick the Badgers to win game one and the teams to tie in game two, with the Badgers winning the shootout. Wisconsin 3-2, Tie 1-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Dartmouth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Again, a series that is really hard to pick. Maine 3-2, 2-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> These two should split. Dartmouth 2-1, Maine 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, Nov. 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bemidji State at Minnesota Duluth<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’m going with home ice. Minnesota Duluth 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’ll take Bemidji State. Bemidji State 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, Nov. 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at Maine<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I have a hard time picking this one. Northeastern has been inconsistent, but I haven’t seen enough out of Maine to bet against the Huskies. Northeastern 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> Northeastern wins. Northeastern 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
