Weekend Takeaways: Borek is correct, the data shows Merrimack has had chances, they just haven't finished them

Merrimack suffered losses to UMass and UNH this weekend. While not unattainable, the Warriors have a hill to climb to reach home ice in the Hockey East playoffs.

Here are my weekend takeaways, including:

— Scott Borek is right, the Warriors haven’t finished. The data backs that up.

— The Warriors were better against negative momentum swings.

— Merrimack falls in the projected Hockey East standings.

— Quick hits on Ben Brar’s under-the-radar performance and Merrimack’s defensive numbers against expectations.
