Ok, this is old news because I didn’t post last week, but the weekend of Saturday, December 29th and Sunday, December 30th, had some bigtime game performances, including Minnesota’s 8-1 shelling of Boston College.  I suppose I don’t need to say much more with that type of score, but I will — the lone Boston College score…

Simply enough, a Native American, or, an American Indian.  That’s what a Quinnipiac is.  Since Quinnipiac is ranked #9 in the country, and it is pretty easy to get sort of absorbed by news and views of the schools that are the perennial powerhouses, today we’ll take a look at Quinnipiac.  It’s Christmas and New Year’s…

Last weekend’s schedule was light but presented some great games, starting with North Dakota’s very convincing sweep of Michigan Tech, elevating the Sioux to the #7 ranking; this was North Dakota’s first sweep of this season.  Making a space for North Dakota’s ascent in the rankings, #8 Western Michigan split with Michigan, so the Sioux…

We had a couple of heralded matchups last weekend, and starting things off, then #1 New Hampshire hosted then #7 Boston University on Thursday night, and BU went up early, with a 3-0 lead midway in the second.  But New Hampshire shut BU down for the remainder of the game and scored two goals to…

Last weekend’s two marquee matchups started out Friday night with then #1 Boston College getting beat by #9 Boston University by a 4-2 score, and with then #3 Minnesota geting beat by #13 Nebrasaka-Omaha by a 3-2 score.  On Saturday night, both higher-ranked teams prevailed in their split weekends, with BC really putting it to…

What a weekend we just had — there were a load of top 15/20 interconference matchups.  #1 Boston College took one from #11 Dartmouth — in this one, Dartmouth kept coming back like the mafia to Al Pacino in the Godfather III, but BC blew it open with three goals in the third.  Meanwhile out…

Last weekend there were five top twenty matchups, and leading off, Denver flexed some of its #2 ranking muscle and took care of business winning two against #14 Colorado College — a close one, and a rather lopsided one.  #3 New Hampshire took a two goal win over #10 Boston University, and New Hampshire won two on the…

Last weekend BC flexed some serious #1 muscle as it marched on #8 Notre Dame Friday night, and then #11 Boston University on Sunday afternoon, winning each game by two goals (it was the sole game of the weekend for Notre Dame; BU had beaten Merrimack Friday night).  Not mentioned last week, because it’s sort of…

Nearly all the top twenty teams split last weekend in one fashion or another — a win/loss, or a tie thrown in there.  Let’s start with the weekend’s top matchups.  #3 Denver split with suddenly hot #15 St. Cloud State, and #5 Miami of Ohio split with #18 Ferris State.  #6 North Dakota split with…

Let’s start today with the three top twenty matchups from last weekend.  #1 Boston College took a close one and a runaway from #14 UMass-Lowell, #4 Miami of Ohio and #8 Michigan split the weekend with two hard fought and close games, and #9 New Hampshire and #15 Northeastern couldn’t have been much closer with…
