\nJim last week:<\/strong> 10-5-2
\nDave’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 33-16-4
\nJim’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 35-14-4<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nDave’s pick: The Black Bears took two from the Minutemen at Alfond last weekend, but I see UMass drawing first blood in the rematch.
\nUMass 4, Maine 3<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: I agree that UMass can’t lose to Maine three games in a row.
\nUMass 3, Maine 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: The Irish make their first road trip to New England as part of Hockey East and like the result.
\nUND 4, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: I think this will be a close game but also believe the Irish are the better team.
\nUND 3, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: Are the River Hawks all the way back from their slow start? Far enough back to hold serve in this home-and-home.
\nUML 3, UNH 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: This game concerns me in that I know both teams are solid but Lowell is coming off two wins and UNH has posted back-to-back losses. The trend says pick Lowell. The “we’re pissed and ready to win” factor says pick UNH. I’m going with the trend, though.
\nUML 4, UNH 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: The undefeated Friars venture out on the road for the first time and produce a win in their first league action.
\nPC 3, BU 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: This is a good test for BU. While I think being at home should be a factor, it’s not enough to sway me from picking the red-hot Friars.
\nPC 4, BU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: Northeastern has been scoring a ton and sports a 5-1 record; BC has been allowing goals at an uncharacteristic pace and stands at 2-2-1. Nevertheless, I’m going with the Eagles.
\nBC 4, NU 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Northeastern will win one of these games. It just won’t be on the road.
\nBU 5, NU 3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Dave’s pick: The Warriors move to .500 as they drop Bentley to a 1-6 mark.
\nMC 4, Bentley 1<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Jim’s pick: Not sure this game will be very close.
\nMC 5, Bentley 2<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: The Irish head back to South Bend with their first four points in Hockey East.
\nUND 3, UVM 1<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Vermont will respond with a great game. And while a tie is possible, I don’t see Notre Dame losing.
\nUND 2, UVM 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: The Eagles sweep to slam the brakes on the Huskies’ strong start.
\nBC 4, NU 3<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Here is where Dave and I finally differ. I am confident Northeastern grabs a win in this series and its ability to beat BC at home in recent years says this will be the night.
\nNU 3, BC 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: The Black Bears salvage the road sweep for their first Hockey East points.
\nMaine 2, UMass 1<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Going with the home sweep for UMass.
\nUMass 4, Maine 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see either team sweep, but I’m going with a UNH win at home to gain the split.
\nUNH 3, UML 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: I agree totally with Dave that either team could sweep here and I’m not shocked. But I’ll also pick a split.
\nUNH 2, UML 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDave’s pick: The Friars remain unbeaten and extend BU’s losing streak to four games.
\nPC 4, BU 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Agree. Picking the Friars to improve to 7-0-1.
\nPC 3, BU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
