That's ok, better to keep the pressure off. :-) Merrimack was predicted to
finish last in its second season and wound up 6th. So then, the coaches
picked Merrimack 6th last year - and the Warriors finished last. I'm tempted
to call them for 6th again this year. Then again, I also said yesterday
that I thought New England -15 1/2 at home against Buffalo was the pick
of the day.
Well, TSN picked Lowell as one of the Top 20 in the country but the coaches
have them 7th - although, Lowell was TSN's 6th Hockey East team in the
top 20.
Anyway, I may be biased, but I think the teams that will pull a few surprises
in HE this season are Northeastern and Merrimack. Goaltending is the key
for both clubs.
Merrimack's Blue-Gold Game will take place on Thursday, Oct 8th at 6 pm.
