NHL Picks: Florida Panthers at Anaheim Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks are turning their season around. Ignore that incredibly slow start. The Anaheim Ducks have lost to playoff contenders in the Western Conference by one goal before taking out a very good Nashville Predators team. The Florida Panthers have played decent hockey this year, but the Anaheim Ducks should be the class of the West by the end of the season.

Rested, on home ice, and finally starting to look like the team I thought they were before the season started, I love the Anaheim Ducks in this spot. Z-Code public money ...

Free NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Nashville Predators at Anaheim Ducks

Sunday, November 1st I originally tried to combine this contest with the NFL, but it failed miserably due to a total lack of participation. We are giving away a free $100 if we can sustain some consistency from you guys. I hope this one will take off, because the picks contests are always a ton of fun for me. The first person to correctly guess the winner ten times will take the free NHL Picks Contest prize of $100. It’s free to participate, simply comment on this post with who you think will win.

This game is interesting. The Anaheim Ducks are home, but they’ve struggled mightily to start the season. Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators are off to a solid start and look poised for another run at the playoffs. Can the Ducks snap out of it? Will the Nashville defense continue to suffocate this slumping Anaheim offense? Comment ...

NHL Pacific Division Predictions: Anaheim Ducks Still Dominant

NHL Pacific Division Picks: Ducks, Kings, Flames I was surprised by the Calgary Flames last year and impressed by what I consider an unexpected playoff run. Traditional favorites like the LA Kings and Vancouver Canucks fell off a bit, and the Flames jumped in to fill the void. Can they do it again? Can anyone catch the Anaheim Ducks?

1. Anaheim Ducks (107 pts): I think the Ducks are arguably the most complete team in hockey. They have strong goaltending, experienced depth, and an explosive offense. I don’t know how anyone can catch them, and competitive as the West is, ...

NHL Playoffs Picks: Game Seven Anaheim Ducks vs Chicago Blackhawks

NHL Playoffs Picks: Anaheim Ducks vs Chicago Blackhawks

The Anaheim Ducks collapsed in epic fashion and the Chicago Blackhawks dominated Game Six. That said, Anaheim has looked great at home and we’ve squeezed a lot of value out of the -110 initial series line here. We’re on the Anaheim Ducks, and at home they’ve got a nice edge.

The Z-Code computer shows some minor conflict in the algorithm and a weak signal in terms of value, but they like the Anaheim Ducks 61% signal and three stars of value. Given that we have them loaded up at -110 we won’t ...

NHL Playoffs Picks: Anaheim Ducks vs Chicago Blackhawks, Game 5

NHL Playoffs Picks: Chicago Blackhawks at Anaheim Ducks This series is pretty much going to plan. The Anaheim Ducks anD Chicago Blackhawks continue to battle. The experience of the Blackhawks has been on display as they find ways to win overtime games. The explosiveness of the Anaheim Ducks has come to light throughout the series. This is a doozy.

What we thought would be the key to this series was the physicality and size of the Anaheim Ducks and whether they could wear down Chicago to win the series. We also noted that Crawford had returned to form and Anaheim ...

NHL Playoffs Picks: Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks Game Four

NHL Playoffs picks: Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks This series is really starting to develop into something spectacular. We’ve been riding the Ducks throughout and have a series bet on them, so this game is incredibly important for us. We were with them when they won Game One despite being outplayed, when they lost Game Two in heartbreaking fashion, and we won in Game Three to take back control of the series. The Anaheim Ducks were my pick to make the finals from theWest, and I still think they’re the best team in hockey. The Chicago Blackhawks are winners ...

NHL Playoffs – Conference Finals Picks: Ducks Blackhawks, Rangers Lightning

NHL Playoffs Picks – Conference Finals: Ducks Blackhawks, Rangers Lightning We’ve had a pretty successful 2015 NHL Playoffs. By the series, we’ve done okay hitting 5/8 in the first round and 2/4 in the second. The key for us has been confidence though, hitting both our high confidence plays in the second round, and all our high confidence plays in the first round. As a result, despite being just one pick above .500, we’ve made some pretty good profit this postseason.

I love the hockey playoffs. I don’t think there’s anything better. I still think if Shea Weber stays healthy the Chicago Blackhawks wouldn’t even be here. They’re hot, but they go against an Anaheim Ducks team that has been among our most reliable and dominant favorites so they might not be here much longer. The New York Rangers have won some grinding games and we rode them with confidence this far. Against a fun Tampa Bay Lightning team that ...

NHL Playoffs Picks: Flames Ducks Game Five

NHL Playoffs Picks: Calgary Flames at Anaheim Ducks As we said all series, the Anaheim Ducks are simply the superior team in this series against the Calgary Flames. While the Flames had a nice run, the Anaheim Ducks are an elite team in the 2015 NHL playoffs. I have the Ducks making it to the Finals. I had the Flames falling in the first round and was impressed by their grit, but I think it’s all over for them here.

The line is a little sharp but we see some value here. The computer gives a strong signal with ...
