So last week Dave, in his words, pulled the goalie. While his effort gained him some ground on me, it was only one game. Thus, with no more picking left for his this season (he had successful season-ending open-heart surgery on Tuesday, for those who haven’t been following along), I take the title for game picked against one another.<\/p>\n
To keep things interesting, though, I will spend the remainder of the season trying to finish with a better winning percentage than Dave. His is .637, which means I have to get about two out of every thing games right to cruise to victory. Last week, I was a whopping 4-6-1, which means this isn’t going to be as easy as it seems.<\/p>\n
Dave last week: 5-5-1
\nJim last week: 4-6-1
\nDave to date: 123-65-24 (.637)
\nJim to date: 127-61-24 (.656)<\/p>\n

\nJim’s pick: No way I am picking against Maine at Alfond.
\nMaine 4, MC 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Neither team has played great hockey of late, but I can’t see Providence losing at home after Tuesday’s home loss vs. UConn.
\nPC 3, ND 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: No reason to bet against the River Hawks seeing as they’ve beaten the Minutemen twice this season.
\nUML 5, UMass 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Both teams are smarting after losses, so I’m going with home ice.
\nUNH 4, BU 3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: There is something I love about Vermont right now, but I learned my lesson picking against BC on Monday.
\nBC 4, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: UNH is the better team on paper, but BU better be inspired to play great hockey on Jack Parker night.
\nBU 3, UNH 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Maine finished off the sweep easily.
\nMaine 5, MC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: I think the Irish can earn the split again this weekend.
\nND 4, PC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Though UMass handed NU and ugly loss last weekend, having Friday night off will make a difference for the Huskies.
\nNU 3, UMass 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Again, just not picking against the red-hot Eagles team.
\nBC 3, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
