Well I got off to a slow start out of gates last weekend but it was only the first weekend of countable games. This weekend the Maine Black Bears welcome in the #3 team in the country and I also pick two other games in the top 10.
Season record 1-2-1
Last weeks results-
Friday, October 7th

Quinnipiac 5, Northeastern 2 incorrect pick
This week:
Friday, October 14th
#3 Quinnipiac (1-0-1) at Maine (2-0-0)
The Black Bears come off an opening weekend sweep over RPI. Maine also recieved votes in the Top 25 poll and are in at #27 this week. The Bobcats are the national runners up and are poised to make another run into the Frozen Four. Quinnipiac tied #15 Northeastern 2-2 last Friday before beating the Huskies 5-2 Saturday night.
The pick- The Black Bears face a much stiffer opponent in the Bobcats. Maine must stay out of the penalty box and convert their chances into goals. I like the way Maine played in the opening weekend but still gonna take a while to gel. Quinnipiac 4, Maine 2
#5 Notre Dame (2-0-0) at #4 Minnesota-Deluth (0-0-2)
The Irish moved up to fifth in the nation and had an easy weekend in sweeping Arizona State last week by scores of 9-2 and 4-2. The Bulldogs went to UMass-Lowell and tied the Riverhawks twice last weekend.
The pick- The Irish improve to 3-0. Notre Dame 5, Minn-Duluth 3
Saturday, October 15th
Quinnipiac at Maine
Night number two at the Alfond and with a huge homecoming crowd on hand the Bears go for a split.
The pick- Maine plays more disciplined in the finish of the two game series and comes up with a split. Maine 3, Quinnipiac 2
#2 Boston University (1-0-0) at #10 Denver (0-2-0)
The Terriers opened their season with an easy 6-1 win at Colgate while Denver dropped both of their games to Ohio State and Boston College.
The pick- Jimmy Montgomery will not allow his Pioneers team to start 0-3. Denver 4, Boston University 3
