NHL Picks Contest: Round Seven – San Jose Sharks at St. Louis Blues

NHL Picks Contest Round Seven: San Jose Sharks at St. Louis Blues

Tuesday, December 17th

We have, as a group, failed to hit more than half these contest game picks. As a result, I’d have to say I’m doing a pretty good job picking interesting and difficult games. Hopefully, Tuesday will be no exception.

Who will win between the Sharks and Blues on Tuesday, December 17th? Sharks are one of the best teams in hockey, but they sometimes struggle on the road. Will the Blues’ defensive system give them fits? Can St. Louis score?

Against a backup goaltender and  ...

Another win for the Facebook feature, but I’m tired of all the conflicting signals. This time, I’m going with a pick that Z-Code and I agree on.

Jaroslav Halak is finally back (we hope, last time he was back he got hurt again), which gives the Blues the stability in net they’ve built their team on. The offense has woken up during this little spell of horrible play, and if they can continue that stretch of offense now that they have a goalie in net again, they should be  ...

Starting fresh in 2012?

Magic score 3-7 ? I was thinking a lot why road dogs (Jets and Tampa) got blown away 2 times in a row especially with such a big and similar score ? What’s different about those games?

Here is what was different. In both cases it was  ...
