Non-Conference
Games
Colorado
College @ Clarkson
Last weekend the Tigers split their first ever
NCHC home series with the Bulldogs, winning the opener 3-1 and dropping the
next game 5-1.
The Tigers travel this weekend to Potsdam, NY
to visit the 4-1-1 Golden Knights of the ECAConference. Since it is early in the season, I will have
to give the nod to the new NCHC in this series.
TIGERS 3-pts
#10 St.
Could St. @ Colgate
The Huskies also travel to NY this weekend;
they are going to Hamilton, NY to play the Raiders of Colgate, who happened to
be 2-2-1 on the season.
Last season the Huskies made the Frozen Four
and the Raiders lost in the first round of the ECAC tourney. This one is an easy pick for me, SCSU SWEEP.
Niagara
@ #17 Denver
Last weekend the Pioneers lost to Alaska in OT,
3-2 and to Alaska-Anchorage the next night 3-2 in OT, at the Alaska Gold Rush
Tournament.
The 1-2-1 Purple Eagles from Niagara NY and
members of the Atlantic Hockey Conference will be landing in Denver this
weekend to play a pair of games.
With the Pioneers dropping a pair of games last
weekend up in Alaska, I wonder about them…but let’s face it, AH isn’t the best league
out there. PIONEERS 3-pts
#2 Notre
Dame @ Minnesota-Duluth
Last weekend the Bulldogs split their first
ever NCHC home series with the Tigers, they dropped the first game 3-1 and winning
the second 5-1.
The number two team in the nation takes their
way 4-0-0 record to the DECC this weekend for another weekend series on Lake Superior
(they were at MTU last weekend). These
teams already have a common opponent already, MTU, UMD won and tied them, ND
swept them. I’ll take Notre Dame for 3-pts
this weekend.
#19 Cornell
@ Nebraska-Omaha
Last weekend the Mavericks split their first series
with the Wildcats from NMU, winning the opener 2-1 and dropping the next game 6-3.
The Big Red from Ithaca, NY and of the ECAC, take
the ice for their first official games of the season this weekend. The Mavericks have eight of their next ten
games at home. After this series, their home games get much harder #6 NoDak, #4
Michigan, and #3 Miami, ouch (and away at
Denver). I know it is early in the
season, but these are some must win games already. SPLIT.
US U-18
TEAM @ #6 North Dakota
Last weekend UND split their first ever NCHC road
series with the Redhawks, winning the opener 4-2 and dropping the next game 6-2.
Being an “un-official” game, I’m officially
picking UND to win, you know, to keep balance in the universe.
