\nJim’s pick: I love the way Maine is playing and the reality is they likely will split this series. I just don’t know which one they pick up first.
\nUM 4, BC 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: It’s hard to ignore what Maine has done so far, but I just can’t pick against BC just yet.
\nBC 3, UM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Not sure where Northeastern will be injury-wise, but assuming the Stevens brothers may still be out, I’m going Terriers here.
\nBU 4, NU 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: BU’s talent may be young, but it’s considerable. Give me the Terriers.
\nBU 3, NU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: The battle of I-91 has been tough to call at times. And even though this one is in Amherst, I like the Huskies.
\nUConn 4, UMass 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: If UConn can split at Notre Dame, it can win at the Mullins Center.
\nUConn 4, UMass 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: This is another where I think it will be a split, but the odds of me calling this one backwards are pretty good.
\nUVM 4, UML 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Sorry Catamount fans, but despite your teams recent successes, I still think the River Hawks are the better club, at least at home.
\nUML 3, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: I’ve always been a fan of Mercyhurst but this team hasn’t fared well in Hockey East land.
\nMerrimack 3, ‘Hurst 1<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I might pick differently if the Warriors were instead on the road, but they’ll win in their barn.
\nMerrimack 3, ‘Hurst 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Sacred Heart pulled off one upset in Hockey East this season. But I don’t see there being another, especially with Grasso red hot at UNH.
\nUNH 4, SHU 1<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Wildcats got off to a tough start this season, but this will be a third straight win.
\nUNH 4, SHU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: As strong as I think Northeastern is, I just don’t see a win coming from this rivalry weekend.
\nBU 4, NU 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I have to agree. BU is just too tough.
\nBU 3, NU 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Strange as it may be, I’m picking the split with Maine losing in Orono. Okay, maybe I’m not alright.
\nBC 3, Maine 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Eagles sweep, whether it’s at Portland or Orono. Sorry, Maine-iacs.
\nBC 4, Maine 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Have to go with a rested Providence team at home.
\nPC 4, MC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Rested or not, I’d have to go with the Friars here.
\nPC 4, MC 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: For the second straight week, the River Hawks bounce back with a Saturday win.
\nUML 3, UVM 1<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I also see a win here, but it’s to conclude a sweep.
\nUML 3, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: With a couple of non-conference wins, suddenly UNH is on a winning streak.
\nUNH 5, MC 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Four straight for the first-place (based on percentage) Wildcats.
\nUNH 4, MC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: On election night, I think you have to vote for the Eagles at home.
\nBC 5, UNH 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: My vote also goes to the Eagles to make them 8-0-1 over their last nine.
