NHL Playoff Simulator – Who will win the Stanley Cup?

The NHL regular season ends on April 6th, and shortly thereafter, the puck will be dropped on the postseason.

Sixteen teams will battle for Sir Stanley’s cup. To determine just which team will lift the trophy, we will look at three different ZCode System Playoff Simulator simulations. However, let us ...

NHL predictions: February 2nd

It’s a short list of games in the NHL on Friday night February 2nd. Reigning NHL Stanley Cup winners, the Pittsburgh Penguins, will be on the ice. Surprise package expansion team Vegas Golden Knights will also play. The NHL regular season is nearly two-thirds of the way finished. There is still plenty of space for teams to jockey as the NHL Playoffs loom.

Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Lightning lead Stanley Cup futures odds

The 2017-18 NHL season is roughly four weeks old, and sportsbooks have recalculated the Stanley Cup futures odds. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning are now co-favourites in futures odds.

Bettors will recall that sportsbooks had the Pittsburgh Penguins listed as the Stanley Cup futures favourites at +800. However, Pittsburgh’s 8-5 start has cooled bookies on them. Toronto is also 8-5, but thanks to a fast start to the NHL season, sportsbooks have identified something they like Auston Matthews and company.

Stanley Cup futures: Toronto Maple Leafs +700 Toronto won seven of its first nine games. ...

NHL Stanley Cup Futures: Can Pittsburgh win a third straight cup?

The 2017-18 NHL regular season drops the puck on October 4th, and ice hockey fans are hungry for action after a summer of free agent moves. The Pittsburgh Penguins begin 2017-18 as the reigning two-time Stanley Cup champions, and sportsbooks believe the team can make it a third straight title winning season.

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 ...

2016 NHL Playoffs Predictions: Caps Ducks Stanley Cup

2016 NHL Playoffs Predictions: Anaheim Ducks vs Washington Capitals Stanley Cup The Anaheim Ducks had one of the worst starts I can remember for an elite team. We lost some money early in the year, as I had them picked to dominate the West. That said, we got off them quick, they sorted things out, and they somehow won the division. With that kind of momentum, I like the Anaheim Ducks to win the Stanley Cup this year. I just don’t trust an Alexander Ovechkin Washington Capitals team. Here are the rest of our 2016 NHL Playoffs Predictions:

First Round ...

NHL Picks: Today’s Top Hockey Sports Predictions, Wagers

NHL Picks: Today’s Top NHL Sports Predictions We’ve been slacking a little bit if you look only at our NHL Picks page. I had a bar application due, we had to put together our MLB Picks Podcast, and I was camping last week with limited internet. As a result, we have only given you a few picks this week. Tonight, I rectify some of that by posting the entire slate of games from my forum. We’ve been on quite a run, up more than $1,000 with $100 units.

Today, a bunch of games fit the system. I’ve laid out the ...

Free NHL Picks Contest: Philadelphia Flyers at Florida Panthers

NHL Picks Contest: Philadelphia Flyers at Florida Panthers

Saturday, March 12th

Well, I’ve got a two game lead so I took to the public to let you guys choose the game that I would beat you all with. After three submissions, I picked the game that was the furthest out to let everyone have a chance to put their picks in. The result is the Philadelphia Flyers at the Florida Panthers being what I hope will be the decisive selection.

The Florida Panthers have been slumping lately and are staggering down the stretch, while the Philadelphia Flyers find ...

NHL Picks: Arizona Coyotes at Pittsburgh Penguins

NHL Picks: Arizona Coyotes at Pittsburgh Penguins It seems like we’ve been picking on the Arizona Coyotes of late, but with good reason. This mediocre team has lost five in a row, plummeting in the standings and falling eight points out of the wild card race. Their road trip continues as the visit a very strong Pittsburgh Penguins team, and there appears to be no end in sight. So, in keeping with picking on this nonsense franchise, I’ll take advantage of a sharp edge to the home team here.

I really don’t think there should be hockey in Arizona. In fact, ...
