Last week the Northeastern Huskies and Michigan Wolverines claimed the Hockey East and Big Ten Tournament titles respectively. With a 5-1 week under my belt this week it is on to the NCAA Tournament Regionals. I will pick all the regional semifinals as well as the regional finals on the weekend.
Last week 5-1-0 Season 61-27-10

Northeastearn vs North Dakota
Northeastern is still the hottest team in the country and North Dakota is a seven time national champion with the experience.
The pick- I like Northeastern to make this game very interesting and to keep it close but North Dakota will end the Huskies ride. North Dakota 4, Northeastern 2

Michigan has been getting some big time goal scoring lately while the Irish have been up and down.
The pick- I like Michigan here. Michigan 5, Notre Dame 2

The Eagles and Crimson square off in Worcester where both teams should have a good crowd.
The pick- The Eagles too tough in this one. BC 3, Harvard 2

The pick- I will stay with the Friars. Providence 2, Minn-Duluth 1
