  • Week of March 2, 2010

    So we’re in the final week of the regular season for three conferences (CHA, Hockey East and WCHA), and the other three (AHA, CCHA, and ECAC) start their conference tournaments in one form or another this weekend.

    Hokey smokes!!  There are only a couple of weekends left in the regular season, and it looks as though four teams have an extremely tight grip on the top four spots in the rankings.  Is this how it’s going to end?  Are these the four teams to beat? Last weekend four of the top ten…
