I have come close to blowing an eight-game lead I had on Nicole in mid-January. Last week, I went 16-9-2, while Nicole went 19-6-2. On the year, I am 291-109-51 while Nicole is 289-111-51. Hopefully, I can hold her off and not have an epic choke.<\/p>\n

\n Candace:<\/strong> I don’t see the Raiders losing to Brown. Colgate 4-0<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Colgate should come away with a win here. Colgate 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Cornell always seems to be on the verge of being upset, but I like the Big Red at home. Cornell 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Yale played close games with Clarkson and St. Lawrence last weekend, so Cornell shouldn’t take them lightly. Cornell 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> I’m thinking the Engineers will squeak this one out. Rensselaer 2-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> I’ll pick Dartmouth at home here. Dartmouth 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Harvard at home after a tough one in the Beanpot. Harvard 3-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Union beat Harvard earlier in the year, but I don’t think they get a repeat. Harvard 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> I like Clarkson to roll here. Clarkson 4-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> This should be a win for the top-ranked Golden Knights. Clarkson 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> St. Lawrence seems to beat teams below them in the standings, so … St. Lawrence 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> I’ll take St. Lawrence to win. St. Lawrence 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Mercyhurst will keep pace in the CHA race. Mercyhurst 3-2, 3-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> The Lakers are a better team now and I think they sweep this at home. Mercyhurst 3-1, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Robert Morris sets up an epic series with Mercyhurst the following week. Robert Morris 3-1, 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> I’ll also take RMU to sweep at home, but wouldn’t be surprised if Lindenwood takes one. Robert Morris 3-2, 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> RIT is lot what it was when it first joined D-I. Syracuse 3-1, 3-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Syracuse sweeps. Syracuse 2-0, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> This is likely a split, but picking the right night is hard. Vermont 3-2, Connecticut 3-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> A split. Vermont wins game one, Connecticut wins game two. Vermont 3-1, Connecticut 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> The Buckeyes won’t have a letdown here. Ohio State 3-1, 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> This should be all Buckeyes. Ohio State 4-2, 2-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Bemidji has been struggling in the second half, and St. Cloud has shown signs of life, but I’m going with home ice. Bemidji State 2-1, 2-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> This one is likely to be a split. I’ll take St. Cloud in game one and Bemidji in game two. St. Cloud State 3-2, Bemidji State 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> The Badgers could drop one of these, but I’m going with them nonetheless. Wisconsin 3-2, 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Wisconsin needs these wins and they need something to build on after last week’s results. UMD will push them, but I’ll take the Badgers. Wisconsin 3-1, 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Colgate keeps pace in with Clarkson in the ECAC. Colgate 3-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> I’m so tempted to pick a Yale upset this weekend, but I think Colgate is too strong. Colgate 5-3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Cornell will win at home. Cornell 3-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Cornell takes this one. Cornell 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> I like the Big Green at home. Dartmouth 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Union wins this one. Union 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> I like Harvard at home. Harvard 3-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Harvard wins this. Harvard 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Even on the road, the Saints will prevail in this tough game. St. Lawrence 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> This one could be close, but I’ll take the Saints. St. Lawrence 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> I like the Golden Knights to stay in front in the ECAC. Clarkson 3-1<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> I’m going to pick Quinnipiac here. They took their earlier meeting in overtime and they just seem to have Clarkson’s number. Quinnipiac 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Boston College could look ahead to the Beanpot and have a tough game, but should still win. Boston College 4-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> This should be a win for the Eagles. Boston College 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> Merrimack is too inconsistent for me to pick them. Northeastern 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> I’ll take the Huskies. Northeastern 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:\u00a0<\/strong>Both teams have been struggling of late, so this is a hard one to pick. Providence hasn’t won a game since mid-January.\u00a0Providence 3-2, Maine 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Definitely one of the more interesting matchups of the weekend. Maine is one point ahead of Providence in Hockey East Standings. They tied earlier in the season. I’ll pick a split. Providence 3-1, Maine 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> It won’t be easy, and may even need overtime, but I like BC to take the Beanpot in Katie Burt’s last appearance in the storied tournament. Boston College 4-3
\nNicole: I’m a sucker for an underdog story and BU has won just a single Beanpot title \u2013- back in 1981, so I have to pick them to get the upset here. They squeak out a win. Boston University 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Candace:<\/strong> I like the Huskies in this one, but it will be close. Northeastern 3-2<\/strong>
\n Nicole:<\/strong> Northeastern wins this one. Northeastern 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
