Abbreviated College Hockey Weekend Preview

I had very little time to blog this week, and the time I did have, I mostly used to compose the epic tribute to March 11, 2007 (see the next post below). Thus, I never got around to working on a college hockey weekend preview, and I have fifteen minutes until I take my place in Conte for BC-Merrimack.

Thus, it'll be a very quick version - big games & one-sentence summary:

MEN-

BC vs. Merrimack Thurs.; BC @ Merrimack Fri

-BC is awesome, Merrimack sucks. BC sweeps.

Colorado College @ Denver / Denver @ CC - Fri/Sun

-One of the best rivalries in the sport. I'm ashamed to admit that I like both of these teams; I know that probably should be against the law. Impossible to handicap this series, but Bachmann (CC's soph. goalie) always gives the Tigers the edge in any game.

Ohio State @ Michigan (x2)

-Much like football, a one-sided rivalry - but this one favors Big Blue

Notre Dame @ Northern Michigan (x2)

-I'm convinced ND is overrated, still, and I think NMU clips 'em.

Northeastern @ UNH; UNH @ Northeastern Fri/Sat

-GO HUSKIES! I predict a home and home split in this battle of top 10 teams (?!?!?!)

Minnesota vs. Minnesota State (x2)

-Gophs are for real. 2 more wins.

Wisconsin vs. North Dakota (x2)

-Who gets back on track first? I say North Dakota

WOMEN-

BC vs. Vermont - Friday

-Vermont sucks, BC is awesome. BC wins.

BC @ Northeastern - Saturday

-This'll be a goaltenders' duel. It'll go to a shootout.

Minn-Duluth @ Wisco (x2)

-I predict UMD bounces back with at least one win, but Wisco's too good to lose twice at home and are #1 for a reason

BU @ UNH (TONIGHT)

-UNH will gain revenge for last week and thrash BU.

PC @ BU (Saturday)

-PC is another team in need of a jolt, but BU looks to be the superior team right now.

Next week, I promise not to half-ass this.
