NHL Playoffs Picks: Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers

NHL Playoffs Picks: Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers

We don’t have any big-confidence plays on Sunday. These series have all been battled out in lengthy fashion, and this is no exception. Game Five comes in 2-2 after both teams split at home. This is a whacky series.

The Flyers had some momentum, but starting Ray Emery was clearly a mistake. Mason came back in and shut down New York in Philadelphia. I don’t think they can take another one in New York though.

The Rangers appear to me to be the better team across the board. I like their weapons offensively better, though they’re very similarly isolated to a few lines. I love their defense, especially with Grossman out. I think that’s the edge on which the series will turn. Lastly, I think Lundqvist is the better goalie here.

The computer seems to agree. At -150, the computer has the Rangers as a 2.5-star favorite with a 59% chance  ...

NHL Playoffs Picks: Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers

I suppose you could say this is one of my favorite rivalries because I hate both teams as a Devils fan. I think I hate the Flyers more. Cheapshots guised as physicality and 40 years of futility make the Flyers a bunch of scumbags. The Rangers, clinging to 1994, at least have some dignity in their storied history of mediocrity on the ice, right?

Truth be told, I don’t really trust Henrik Lundqvist. How arguably the best goaltender in hockey has won so little in the playoffs is beyond me. Even  ... 

NHL Pick Competition, Round 17: New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers

NHL Picks Contest, Round 17: New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers

The Devils are playing some of their best hockey of the year right now, amidst goalie controversy and Kovalchuk nonsense they’ve won three of the first four games out of the break. The Flyers are in position to make the playoffs after surging ahead of the pack, but there are a handful of teams hot on their tails. This is another huge game in a huge rivalry. Who ya got?

NHL Picks Competition Round 12: Detroit Red Wings at Philadelphia Flyers

NHL Picks Contest Round 12 ($100 Prize): Detroit Red Wings at Philadelphia Flyers, January 28th

The Flyers have surged into playoff relevance with some inspired play of late, though it appears their energy burst may be running out of fuel. On home ice, they host a disappointing Detroit Red Wings team that hasn’t found much consistency this year. Still, the Wings have talent to beat anyone and this is a tremendously important game as we turn towards the stretch run…

My New Jersey Devils blew the lead in the third, and ultimately lost in overtime to the hated Philadelphia Flyers. A few of you were able to successfully predict the outcome of this challenging game. Congratulations!

Here are our updated standings going into the tenth round of the contest. Things are heating up, and there’s a lot of clutter at the top. Keep it up! Duane held onto his lead, but it’s still anybody’s game!

NHL Picks Contest Round Nine: Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils

As usual, we’ve picked a good one. The line is essentially a coin flip and the computer and I disagree. Tough game to predict.

For me this comes down to goaltending and defense. I think the Devils have the better goalie, I think neither team has much of a defense, and I think the Devils’ depth matches up well with the Flyers’ isolated scoring. At home, I think that’s all they’ll need to win this one.

The computer looks at how hot the Flyers are, but I feel like the  ...

I don’t know that there’s a rivalry I enjoy more than Flyers Devils. This year, both teams are in a cluttered battle for the third playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division. The Devils have played better of late and are home, but the Flyers are surging into relevance again.

NHL Picks 11/12: $100 Contest Round Two – Philadelphia Flyers at Ottawa Senators

NHL Picks and Predictions – $100 Contest Game Pick: Philadelphia Flyers at Ottawa Senators

I guess they can’t all be as challenging as our first round. I suppose that comes from picking games before the line is up to give everyone a chance to vote. Since we posted, the Senators went on a winning streak and the Flyers have continue to slump.

That probably explains the line, -140, and the Z-Code readout. It also probably explains why our Z-Code Facebook Community is all over the Senators. Still, I wouldn’t write off the Flyers just yet.

Ottawa has been a tremendously  ...
