NHL Picks Contest: New York Rangers at Pittsburgh Penguins

Thursday, March 3rd The New York Rangers have been all over the place this season. Sometimes they look dominant, other times they look awful. They have a strong goaltender but the defense in front of him has been porous. What’s more, the offense seems out of sorts from time to time. It’s hard to get a read on this team, especially on the road, and that’s what makes it so fun to feature them in our NHL Picks contest for their game with the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 3rd.

The Pittsburgh ...

NHL Picks: Arizona Coyotes at Florida Panthers

NHL Picks: Arizona Coyotes at Florida Panthers When the Arizona Coyotes were getting scoring from their young players, a lot of the experts in our community were buying in. We, as a website, made a lot of money on the Arizona Coyotes when they went hot. I personally never bought in. In fact, I sort of predicted their demise a little bit and bet against them sharply just before their fall from grace. The results have been very strong.

Now, this young and inconsistent team that tends to be very sloppy is taking on one of the more consistent, young teams ...

NHL Picks: Buffalo Sabres at Anaheim Ducks

NHL Picks: Buffalo Sabres at Anaheim Ducks The Buffalo Sabres are playing better hockey of late, but they are still one of the worst teams in hockey. They have some players, at last, who are at least a little bit recognizable. The team is putting in solid efforts on a nightly basis and starting to develop a scrappiness necessary to win. While I personally think Robin Lehner’s scowling staredown last week during his shutout was a little silly, I can also see it as a rallying cry for a young team looking for leadership and intensity.

The Anaheim Ducks started ...

NHL Picks: Arizona Coyotes at Washington Capitals

NHL Picks: Arizona Coyotes at Washington Capitals It feels like we’re picking on the same teams these days, with three posts attacking the LA Kings and now a second post where we pick on the Arizona Coyotes, but we’ve been winning so why mess with it? The Arizona Coyotes take on the best team in hockey, on the road, in a game with a very sharp line from Vegas and a very strong signal from Z-Code. We tread with caution in this post, but in a day with a limited slate of game, this is my strongest lean.

I want to ...

NHL Picks: St. Louis Blues at Arizona Coyotes

NHL Picks: St. Louis Blues at Arizona Coyotes I do not trust the Arizona Coyotes. I’ve never liked this organization and I think hockey in the desert has been a tremendous mistake. What’s more, they have never really put together a high caliber roster. Now they have some young pieces in place this year, but without consistent defense and goaltending I don’t think the Coyotes have a shot at remaining competitive down the stretch.

The St. Louis Blues are the opposite of the Coyotes. They have consistency and a strong system. The Blues don’t necessarily have a potent offense, but they ...

NHL Picks: New York Islanders at New Jersey Devils

NHL Picks: New York Islanders at New Jersey Devils After getting the score exactly right in both of our last two posts while betting against LA, it almost feels weird not making a post that rips on the LA Kings, their putrid offense, and their obnoxious organization. So, instead, I’m going to open this post by picking on the Kings again for absolutely no reason while introducing our New Jersey Devils vs New York Islanders game pick.

I expect the New York Islanders to be a little bit tired. They’re a dynamic team with explosive scoring at times and since they ...

NHL Picks: LA Kings at St. Louis Blues

NHL Picks: LA Kings at St. Louis Blues I still hate the LA Kings. I still have all the jabs I used when betting against them earlier this week. I still think they’re a bunch of terrible fans and a terrible organization. I have very much enjoyed their struggles on this grueling road trip. I will try to suck out a little more money from this road trip as the LA Kings offense continues to struggle and they take on one of the best defenses in hockey, with one of the hottest goalies right now, when they visit the St. ...

NHL Picks: LA Kings at Washington Capitals

NHL Picks: LA Kings at Washington Capitals I do not like the LA Kings. I don’t really try to hide my hatred, either. I am a fan of the New Jersey Devils and the officiating in that Stanley Cup was among the worst I’ve ever seen. To lose on a retaliation boarding following a missed call against Gionta is something I will never let go of. Moreover, the fans of the LA Kings, and even their organization through social media and other venues, proved themselves to be a big bag of dicks.

As such, I was pretty happy when my Devils ...

Free NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Flyers Hurricanes

NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Philadelphia Flyers at Carolina Hurricanes

Tuesday, February 23rd In what I thought was a total toss up in Detroit ended up with quite a slanted contest pool, as most of you were on the Boston Bruins when they fell to the Detroit Red Wings in a thrilling 6-5 game. The home team, again, prevailed and the leaderboard shook up a little more. Here, in a battle of two desperate teams just outside the playoff race, I expect another exciting battle.

The Philadelphia Flyers are notoriously tough and a little dirty. They’re also known for being ...
