Well, thanks to correctly picking Quinnipiac to sweep Robert Morris and Arlan picking North Dakota over Wisconsin on night one, I maintained my slim, one-game lead over Arlan. Both Arlan and I went 13-2-2 (.823) last week. I am now 156-54-21 (.720) while Arlan is 155-55-21 (.716). We’ve got a lot of games on the slate this weekend.<\/p>\n

\nCandace:<\/strong> This has the makings of a great game. If it had been last year, I might have picked opposite. Harvard 2-1<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> Clarkson presents toughest road test for the Crimson since their loss at BU in November. Harvard 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> A crucial game between these two for the second tier position in the ECAC. St. Lawrence 3-2<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> Big Green haven’t lost in their last six, but they now step up in class. St. Lawrence 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’d love to pick Vermont, but the Terriers are too strong. Boston University 4-2<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> Since losing at UNH, the Terriers have been unspectacular, but good enough to put together 10 straight without a loss. Boston University 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Bulldogs have been on a roll since early December, while Ohio State has been more up and down. I think this is a split, but which night to pick which team? Minnesota-Duluth 3-2, Ohio State 3-2<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> Bulldogs have been thinking about the season-opening sweep at the hands of the Buckeyes for a long time. Minnesota-Duluth 2-1, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> I’m pretty confident that this one is a sweep. North Dakota 4-1, 4-0<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> A letdown versus SCSU is possible coming off two huge series, but UND has to know it can’t afford one. North Dakota 3-1, 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Can the Badgers prevent their arch-rivals from breaking Wisconsin’s unbeaten streak? Something tells me no. Minnesota 4-2, 4-1<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> The Gophers lost their first games in the Sanford Center in Bemidji and Amsoil Arena in Duluth; Friday is their first game in LaBahn Arena. Wisconsin 2-1, Minnesota 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> If the Crimson escape from this one, they might just run the table in the league. Harvard 3-2<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> The win in the most-recent meeting in the ECAC semi broke a nine-game losing skid for SLU versus Harvard. Harvard 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> This one is just as hard to call as the Friday game involving Dartmouth. Clarkson 2-1<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> Golden Knights just don’t seem right since losing to Colgate to open December, so who knows about this one. Clarkson 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Even if Haley Skarupa isn’t in the lineup, BC should be strong enough to win. Boston College 5-1<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> Friars are allowing far too many goals in the post-Lacasse Era. Boston College 6-3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> As Arlan has problems with Robert Morris, so too do I have issues with RIT. The last time these two met, the Tigers swept, on the road. Hmmm. RIT 3-2, 4-3<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> I can’t seem to win an RMU game of late, but then neither can the Colonials. RIT 3-2, Robert Morris 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Another opportunity for the Eagles to work on defense. Boston College 5-1<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> A long season for UConn gets longer. Boston College 7-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> The Wildcats are the only team besides the Eagles to beat the Terriers. Something tells me BU will be out for revenge. Boston University 4-2<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> It feels clever to pick the Wildcats in an upset until they lose. Boston University 5-3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> Even if the Friars have a porous defense, it should stand up against the Black Bears. Providence 4-2<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> The Black Bears had their best defensive weekend of the season a week ago versus Vermont. Providence 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nCandace:<\/strong> A crucial game for both teams in the PairWise. Go with home ice. Cornell 3-2<\/strong>
\nArlan:<\/strong> Water problems further complicate a busy stretch for Mercyhurst. Cornell 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
