SCOTT FITZGERALD'S CAVE TALK
  • Yes it is Super Bowl weekend, but that doesn't mean there's not plenty of SUPER college puck on this weekend and (much to my delight) only fitting...in a Tom Brady sort of way...I get a double dose of the ][\/][ this weekend. That said, let's get right to it....


    PROVIDENCE AT NEW HAMPSHIRE – 7:00 P.M. – CBS COLLEGE SPORTS (CH. 613 DIRECTV)

    The first of a home and home with Dick Umele’s New Hampshire Wildcats this weekend. Providence comes in looking for it’s first win over UNH in nearly four years. Forget the power play, the Friars love being a man down as they’re tied with Boston College for the most short handed goals, just two behind Colgate. For New Hampshire they come into this one losing two heartbreakers to #8 Boston College last week to include a 3-2 overtime loss at the Whittemore center last weekend. Providence continues to climb back to respectability and have doubled their amount of Hockey East wins this season from last year, a win over UNH would go a long way to silencing critics. Besides, they have one of the coolest logos in all of college hockey!



    #3 BOSTON UNIVERSITY AT #4 MERRIMACK – 7:00 P.M. – FOX COLLEGE SPORTS (CH. 623 DIRECTV)
    Can’t believe this hasn’t been picked up by the bigger media outlets. HUGE match up this week despite the Terriers getting swept last week by Maine. Despite being outshot 21-8 in the Saturday contest BU held a 39-37 shot advantage for the game, but went just 1 for 5 on the power play. With the sweep the Terriers fall back into a tie with rival Boston College for first place in Hockey East. For Merrimack the game is already sold out as the Eagles host it’s first ever top five (and top ten) matchup at Lawler Arena and will move into a tie for first place with a win. With just five regular season home games remaining only tickets to the final two games remain. This will be some great Friday night hockey!

    #14 CORNELL AT RENSSELAER – 7:00 P.M. – NBC SPORTS (CH. 603 DIRECTV)
    The Engineers of RPI conclude their four-game homestand at Houston Field House hosting nationally ranked Cornell where they broke their season high attendance record last week and expect to break again this week. In net for RPI is Bryce Merriam who has stopped 114 of the last 118 shots he’s faced with two shutouts in that span earning him ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week two weeks ago. Before losing twice last weekend to Colgate, the Big Red of Cornell were riding a seven game winning streak. For the 14th ranked Big Red, hockey recruiting has redefined “thinking outside the box” no other Division 1 men’s hockey program has as many players that call states bordering the Gulf of Mexico home as Cornell. Big Red has four players that fit that category – Florida Native Brian Ferlin and three Texans, Locke Jillson, Keir Ross and Armand de Swardt.


    One of the MANY epic battles between these two rivals

    #18 MIAMI(OH) AT #7 MICHIGAN – 7:30 P.M. - FOX SPORTS DETROIT PLUS (CH. 664) – SATURDAY GAME IS ON CBS COLLEGE SPORTS (CH. 613)
    Two of college hockey’s hottest programs with an interesting history set to do battle in historic Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Four-time CCHA Coach of the Year Enrico Blasi takes his Miami(OH) Red Hawks on the road for the final time (in the regular season) this weekend. This will be the sixth straight weekend the Red Hawks play a ranked team going 7-3 in the first five. Miami sits in second place just one point back of Ferris State. The Wolverines had the week off last week and find themselves boasting an 8-1-2 record over their last 12 games. Michigan hopes to break an 0-4-1 funk against Miami, a winless streak that dates back to March 19, 2010 in the CCHA semi finals. Two of college’s best programs…should make for a great weekend series.

    Not to be outdone...

    Play begins tomorrow 12p (EST)....BBC America (Ch. 264) sans the pads, helmet and yes...the yellow card. (IMO)...perhaps the best multi-nation tournament this side of Olympic hockey.

    That said....LET'S GO PATS!!!!!!

    In just a few months Tami and I will be celebrating our 8th year in our first home. Something that we never thought we’d be able to achieve without my VA Home Loan I earned from my days in the Navy. That benefit today still rings true as the most important benefit I took away from my nine years on active duty.

    If you’re still on active duty in any branch of the Armed Forces, Air Guard or National Guard listen up. This is Scott Fitzgerald and during my active duty days I was encouraged to join Navy Federal Credit Union simply because they offered programs to active duty military that no other financial institution could.

    Now that the economy appears to be on the mend, you can expect interest rates to rise, which means these low housing interest rates will rise two. If you’re thinking about buying your first home I encourage you to check out Navy Federal Credit Union. They offer a great first-time homebuyer package that saves military members big money, plus no applications fee. Just like their other services they offer special mortgages available ONLY to the military. Besides, who else would know the VA home loan process more than Navy Federal Credit Union?

    Do yourself a favor, check out navyfederal.org and join myself and nearly 4 million other active and former military who are taking advantage of what Navy Federal has to offer. Don’t wait though, once mortgage rates go up or your leave the service, you’ll be left on the outside looking in.

    Navy Federal is an equal housing lender and federally insured by the NCUA
