College Hockey Preview Nations Powers battle it out
This weekend has some big series happening including Boston College vs Vermont and Colorado College vs Minnesota.
Boston College and Vermont is the big series in the east as both teams will look to gain some more national recognition. This series has 2 great goaltenders, Joe Fallon of Vermont (who recently just set the school's shutout record), and Cory Schneider of Boston College both of them are Sophomores. Look for these two goaltenders to battle it out.
Don't count out the offense in this series. BC and Vermont have the two top scorers in Hockey East, Chris Collins for the Eagles is leading the conference in scoring and Torrey Mitchell for Vermont is second in the conference in scoring. Also look for some big games from Brady Leisenring for Vermont, and Freshman Benn Ferriero for BC.
The west's best matchup will happen in Minnesota as the Golden Gophers will face Colorado College. There will probably be a lot of offense in this series as Colorado College and Minnesota are one of the two top offensive teams in the country. When you talk about the duo of Brett Sterling and Marty Sertich (Last years Hobey Baker winner) you think they are the best scoring combination in the country. But don't forget about Minnesota's Ryan Poltuny and Freshman Phenom Phil Kessel who could be the top player taken in this years NHL draft. But anyway just look for this series to be all about the offense.
In other action this weekend
Wisconsin will look to defeat Denver, but they will have to do it without Goaltender Brian Elliott who was a Hobey Baker favorite. Elliott went down with a knee injury during practice and will be out 3-4 weeks. Robbie Earl and the Badgers will have to step it up this weekend.
Maine will host Providence this weekend for 2 at Alfond Arena in a very important series. Can Providence rebound and get out of the bubble this weekend? Or will Maine continue to play well at home.
And St. Lawrence will put the #1 spot in the ECACHL on the line as they travel to Cornell on Friday and will then travel to Colgate on Saturday.
Who will prevail this week? Tune into the weekly report for all the results from this weekend. And never forget about Bracketology Wednesday.
