The News asks professors and administrators for their best guess about how the Elis will fare this weekend.

As a former hockey player and youth hockey coach I am a loyal fan of Yale hockey and the NY Rangers. I fully expect the Yale team to have a winning weekend and move on in the tournament. I also believe the Rangers will make a run for the cup. Keep the faith!

James Perrotti, Chief, Yale Police Department

Yale vs VT: 3-1. Yale vs Michigan: 4-3. I’ll be there pulling for the Bulldogs, and I’ll be riding down on the train with 100s of Yalies.

Mary Miller, Dean, Yale College

Nothing but wins for the Bulldogs!

James Jones, Coach, Men’s Basketball

The stalwart young blades of Yale will cut a deep V in the ice this weekend. Rain or hail, Yale will prevail.

Robert Thompson, Master, Timothy Dwight College

Friday’s game against Vermont is hard-fought, and Yale wins 3-1 on excellent goal-tending by Alec and crisp team play on offense. A strategic decision by Coach Allain provides momentum toward victory. The weekend sweep is completed on Saturday night; the Bulldogs will outskate either of their possible opponents.

Peter Salovey, Provost

Bulldogs, Bulldogs, bow wow wow!

Mike Richter ’08, Former NHL goaltender

Bulldogs exhibit savage will to win. Like many Yalies of their generation, they are bound to end up in Washington, D.C.

Jeff Brenzel, dean of admissions

I predict victories at every turn. We are hot! Go Dogs!

Tom Williams, Head Coach, Yale Football

As a historian I don’t spend time on predictions. Instead, I deal in facts. And the fact of the matter is that this weekend Yale is going to run the tables, er, rink.

Jonathan Holloway, Master, Calhoun College
