NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Minnesota Wild at Tampa Bay Lightning
Saturday, January 2nd
Both of these teams confuse me. To be honest, I’m not all that impressed by the Minnesota Wild. I think they spent a lot of money on Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, don’t have reliable goaltending, and lack the kind of depth usually required by a team with this kind of success. The Tampa Bay Lightning have one of the best weapons in hockey and a legitimate goaltender, but haven’t really filled in the pieces to be consistent. In fact, this year, it looks like they’ve gone backwards a little bit – especially in terms of depth players. Still, at home, with the Wild traveling all the way down to Tampa, this looks like a pretty even matchup to me.
It’s crunch time. Our leader is halfway there while even the next best among us are only at the three-win mark. Hopefully we can close the gap and keep the pressure on as we head for the second half of the contest.
