NHL Picks: Chicago Blackhawks at Florida Panthers

NHL Picks and Predictions: Chicago Blackhawks at Florida Panthers

Okay, maybe it’s crazy to follow me when my heart is involved. I don’t know how the Devils won the last game we featured, but I’ll take a 4-0 romp out of those New York jerks any day. Sorry, just had to relish that moment one more time before getting into this pick:

Z-Code and I love the BLackhawks. They’re consistent, they’re fundamentally sound, they’re well coached, they’re deep, and they win.

I do fear the upset on the road against the Florida Panthers. This is a decent team, not far ...

NHL Stanley Cup Game Five: Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks

I’m going to outline my betting strategy through the series and what I’ll be doing going forward, but first, a little Z-Code analysis:

A mixed signal shows three-star underdog value on the Bruins, two-star odds to win favorites on the Blackhawks, and a 56/44 ML % odds to win on the Blackhawks. In short, this is a volatile game with a slight lean to the Hawks and conflicting parameters. The +1.5 line is 75% likely to hit, so the computer will continue to ride that bet. I won’t.

HEre is ...

NHL Stanley Cup Game Four: Chicago Blackhawks at Boston Bruins

Short and sweet, but I don’t really see any reason to change our approach here. We skimmed our losses in Game One with our +1.5 bet, and it’s helped our profits in Game Two and Game Three.

With two consecutive full sweep wins, I’m not changing anything. We’ll again take the alternate puck line and Bruins +1.5, combined with the under and the Bruins ML.

Z-Code continues their lukewarm Bruins support on home ice, and with a few stars and a 58% readout on the game, we’re in agreement. Low ...

Stanley Cup Game Two NHL Picks: Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks

Stanley Cup Game Two: Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks Pick and Predictions

It’s anti-climactic. It’s boring. It’s terrible. It’s also a way to stay in profit long-term and protect what has been a glorious playoff run. There’s no signal here, and chasing is silly. We’re a no bet in Game Two of the Stanley Cup.

My thoughts remain the same. This series will be a grind, and the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks are two evenly matched teams.

Rask had the win in the bag before a puck went in off his defenseman’s skate and angled in behind him. The ...

NHL Playoffs: Stanley Cup Pick and Predictions – Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks Game One

I’ve addressed everything I’m looking for in my analysis of the game with an earlier post inside the community that I will include below, but I haven’t looked into the Z-CODE output, and that’s what we’ll analyze here. If you want my thoughts on the game, see our series post below, as that’s all I’ll be looking at Game One for. Going low confidence and feeling out the matchup…

Z-Code doesn’t give much of a ML signal, with a nearly coin-flip output and 2 stars ...

NHL Playoffs Picks and Predictions: Detroit Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks Game Seven

NHL Playoffs Picks and Predictions: Chicago Blackhawks Vs Detroit Red Wings

So here is the deal:

We had a tremendously profitable second round. We hedged out of Sharks with guaranteed profits. We CRUSHED the Penguins series and the Bruins series. We are up big, sitting very pretty, with my favorite series of the postseason on the line. This also has the potential to be my most profitable series of the playoffs… despite it going seven games… because we predicted it going seven games and bet accordingly, recognizing how great the Red Wings are at home but needing a ...

NHL Playoffs Picks and Predictions: Chicago Blackhawks Detroit Red Wings Game Six

NHL Playoffs Picks and Predictions: Game Six – Chicago Blackhawks at Detroit Red Wings

After a perfect prediction last night on the Kings and Sharks, I’m not sure where we go from here. We hit the 96% recommended +1.5 line, we hit the Sharks ML, we hit the under, and we got the 2-1 score exactly right in our prediction below. A truly perfect pick.

This game looks a bit more volatile, and Z-Code is nowhere near as friendly with its prediction.

Conflicting paramaters throughout the generated pick lead me to put ...

NHL Playoffs Picks, Predictions: Chicago Blackhawks at Detroit Red Wings

The Blackhawks came out flat in Game Two and the Red Wings capitalized. In one of our most polarizing predictions of the playoffs (see posts below), Game Three could give a team a big edge.

I still think the Blackhawks are the better team, and one game doesn’t change my mind about that. I still think this series will be a grind, and had it going seven games. I still think the Blackhawks have too much chemistry and too much depth. I love the two-way players on this roster and think they can shut down an aging Red Wings team.

That ...

NHL Picks and Predictions: Edmonton Oilers at Chicago Blackhawks

NHL Featured Game: Chicago Blackhawks Vs Edmonton Oilers

The historic points streak of the Chicago Blackhawks may be over, but they’re still the best team in hockey. They’ve got two goalies playing out of this world right now, the offense is clicking, and the defense is deep and skilled. Against a slumping Oilers team, on home ice no less, they should be able to win.

The one worry in this game is that the Chicago Blackhawks could suffer a let down. Their winning streak is over and so too could be their aura of invincibility. The Oilers aren’t a bad ...

NHL Picks and Predictions: Columbus Blue Jackets at Chicago Blackhawks

NHL Featured Game: Columbus Blue Jackets at Chicago Blackhawks

I’m not going to overthink this one, and I don’t want you to think I’m getting lazy and not analyzing games but this literally comes down to one simple facet of my systems this year.

The Chicago Blackhawks have not lost in regulation this year. Ive been them every game since the first week of the season.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are awful on the road. They have yet to win in a featured game either.

This is a perfect storm. Best team in hockey vs the worst and the worst team ...
