NHL Featured Game – New York Rangers at Boston Bruins – Featured $100 Contest Pick, Vote in the poll below!!
In round two of our $100 contest, we’ve selected a tough game between two Original Six rivals.
The New YOrk Rangers were extremely mediocre to open the season, but they’ve turned things around of late. The new chemistry on the top two lines is exciting, Lundqvist is playing like himself again, and the defense we’ve all come to know as the focal point of the Rangers system is playing well again. They’re back, perhaps finally over the crushing loss my Devils dealt them in the Conference Finals. “HENRIQUE! It’s OVER!” (sorry, what’s a pick from me without a little bias, right?)
The Boston Bruins, on the other hand, have never stumbled this season. Their consistency and strength from the net out has left them comfortable enough to cut ties with long-time franchise goaltender Tim Thomas. This is Rask’s team now, and he’s making the most of the opportunity.
Young players, combined with the veteran names of the Stanley Cup run a few years ago, have the Boston Bruins playing well. Their depth and physicality are crushing people. For me, I’m on the Boston Bruins and have picked them in our featured Facebook poll. You can vote in our poll on the Facebook page at any time, and the contest is open to anyone… – https://www.facebook.com/ZcodeNHLpicks
Z-Code disagrees. The machine finds value in the underdog here. After kicking my butt to start the season, it’s hard to disagree with the Z-Code algorithm, but I’m going to, with low confidence. Z-Code has the New York Rangers as 3-star underdog value with a 45% chance to win. Z-Code is playing the line, we’re playing the odds. Realistically, Z-Code’s best advice is to play the spread line at +1.5, but for the purposes of our contest, we’ll put the computer on the Rangers and I’ll be on the Bruins in this battle of Man Vs Machine.
Bruins 3 – Rangers 2
