NHL 2016 Power Rankings and Playoff Picks

NHL 2016 Power Rankings and Playoff Picks NHL west Edmonton Oilers The Oilers are a weak defensive team full of young talent that arguably didn’t live up to expectations in 2015. Can Connor McDavid, Jordan Eberle, Leon Draisaitl, Jesse Puljujarvi and Milan Lucic lead this team to the playoffs? Possibly. They’re certainly on the fringe. Vancouver Canucks The Canucks are a train wreck of mediocre goaltending and aging veterans without any solid prospects outside of Bo Horvat and Jake Virtanen. The team made weak offseason moves by trading Jared McCann, one of their few strong young players, for Erik Gudbranson and ...

NHL 2016 Season Predictions: Eastern Conference

NHL 2016 Season Predictions: Eastern Conference Carolina Hurricanes Despite finishing 6th in the division in 2015, this team is possibly the worst in the NHL. Aside from Jordan Stall and Jeff Skinner, they have no impact players and their defense lacks experience. Look for them at the bottom of the standings all year. Buffalo Sabres The Sabres are progressing but doing so slowly. They are not a playoff contender this year. While they have a solid mix of fresh young talent and seasoned veterans, the team will continue to grow. However, temper your expectations. Wait a year or two and ...

2016 NHL Preview: The Western Conference

2016 NHL Season Preview: The Western Conference Vancouver Canucks The Canucks are a train wreck of mediocre goaltending and aging veterans without any solid prospects outside of Bo Horvat and Jake Virtanen. The team made weak offseason moves by trading Jared McCann, one of their few strong young players, for Erik Gudbranson and then paid way to much to acquire Loui Eriksson. This will surely be a disappointing season, and likely next few seasons, for fans in Vancouver. Arizona Coyotes This is a developing team with a ton of talented young players and a few solid veterans. However, the Coyotes ...

2016 Stanley Cup: Pittsburgh Penguins Will Beat the San Jose Sharks

2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs Picks: Pittsburgh Penguins vs San Jose Sharks The Pittsburgh Penguins have all the momentum here. I had them making it through the East, and but for a disappointing first round loss I think we might have seen my full bracket come to fruition with the Anaheim Ducks. It’s been a whacky playoffs, but the forum is up nearly 1,000 dollars. We’re going to ride the Pittsburgh Penguins here as the hot team that we’ve trusted to get us this far. I really don’t like the San Jose Sharks.

Pete DeBoer, former coach of the New Jersey Devils, ...

NHL Playoffs Picks: Second Round Bracket Predictions, Caps Penguins

NHL Playoffs: Round Two Predictions, Caps Penguins, Blues Stars Well, that was the worst first round we have ever had at Z-Code. We went 4-4 in the first round, but 10-0 on our progression wagers. We finished up 3.84 units overall after deciding not to hedge out of our +320 Ducks bet when they were up 3 games to 2. I guess we got greedy. I had the Ducks winning it all this year. Swing and a miss.

Now, we regroup. We’re playing with house money a little bit here. Still, I had my eyes set on a $1,000 ...

NHL Playoffs Picks: New York Islanders vs Tampa Bay Lightning

We will have another bracket for you guys after the Anaheim Ducks (hopefully) take out the Nashville Predators tonight, but I wanted to commit to the Tampa Bay Lightning here in an ABC progression. I’ve got them winning the series. The New York Islanders are hot, but Tampa is the better team with the better goalie.

I look at these teams as having a lot of top-line strength but limited depth. The New York Islanders are led by one central scorer, and so are the Tampa Bay Lightning. Heck, I’ll ...

We like the Anaheim Ducks, the Washington Capitals, and the St. Louis Blues.
