NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): New York Islanders at Florida Panthers

NHL Picks: Contest Game – New York Islanders at Florida Panthers

I angered some people with my “two bad teams” comment in the picks game, and it looks like the Islanders responded as well. They’ve won four in a row, but they’re on the road against a streaky Panthers team.

Florida has a goalie who can win games for them in Tim Thomas. He’s a tough guy to win against, and the Panthers have been steady lately.

The Islanders are on fire. Offensively, everything is clicking. They can still be a liability defensively, but the way they’re scoring it doesn’t ...

NHL Picks Contest Round 10 ($100 Prize): New York Islanders at Florida Panthers

NHL Picks Contest Round Ten ($100 Prize): New York Islanders at Florida Panthers

It’s funny, but I think the most difficult game to predict this Tuesday is between two pretty bad teams. The Panthers aren’t far removed from the playoffs and went out and got a pretty decent goalie in Tim Thomas, but they’ve struggled most of the year. The New York Islanders, in perhaps even more disappointing fashion, traded for Thomas Vanek only to sputter into the depths of the Metropolitan Division. Bad teams lend to volatility, and I really like this game as a contest pick…

NHL Picks: Dallas Stars at New York Rangers

I don’t normally do this, but I found this testimonial on the main page of the VIP Club wall to be pretty interesting. A new bettor has come into the community with tremendous success and I wanted to feature his thoughts here. We don’t claim to be able to hit 30 out of every 33 bets, but this guy utilized a variety of systems and picks to do so. As he learns money management and stabilizes his success into less volatile predictions, we expect nothing but another happy member of the community. ...

NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils

NHL Picks Contest Round Nine ($100 Prize): Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils

– Tuesday, January 7th

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.

Who ya got?

NHL Picks – Winter Classic Predictions: Toronto Maple Leafs at Detroit Red Wings

NHL Picks: Winter Classic Predictions – Toronto Maple Leafs at Detroit Red Wings

Ah, some good ol’ fashioned pond hockey on New Year’s Day. Does it get any better? Maybe slightly better, if the teams were having better years. Either way, this should be a dandy.

Two of the most inconsistent teams in hockey play an outdoor game in front of a national audience. The quality of the ice is tricky, the game tends to be a little sloppy, and the nostalgia is full blown. This should be a fun contest between two Original Six franchises.

The Red Wings have ...

NHL Picks: Detroit Red Wings at Nashville Predators

The Detroit Red Wings have been one of the most volatile teams in hockey this year. They lose to teams they should beat, they beat teams they should lose to. It’s tough to trust the Wings right now.

That said, they’re heating up. The Wings have played better in their last few games. Meanwhile, though they pulled off a surprising upset in their last game, the Nashville Predators are really struggling. They don’t have weapons offensively and without Pekka Rinne they’ve been inconsistent defensively.

I think the Red Wings, though they’re on ...

NHL Picks and Predictions: Phoenix Coyotes at Anaheim Ducks

I don’t usually toot my own horn, but I’m going to take a moment to brag. My forum in the Z-Code membership VIP Club is up nearly 2,000 dollars with an average bet size of just under 100 bucks. We’re killing it this season and on pace to match our nearly 4,000 dollars of profit this past MLB season. This consistent new approach is a combination of Z-Code algorithms, personal analysis, and a less aggressive system than in years past. We’re on fire.

Today, I feature one of the picks from my ...

Sorry for the delay in this post. Hockey goes on a Christmas break from the 23rd to the 27th so there is no game to choose from on Tuesday. I don’t want to break up the routine we have going for the contest. Participation has been great and I want to stick to our Friday post for a Tuesday game system. You guys have been great – keep it up. I’m really enjoying this.

NHL Picks: New Jersey Devils Vs Ottawa Senators

NHL Picks and Predictions: Ottawa Senators at New Jersey Devils

Ottawa played a great game on Monday and they have looked sharp in just about every other contest this month haha. Their scoring is inconsistent, and I don’t think they’re going to finish the year in the hunt. Right now, they’re battling for .500

The Devils are playing well. They played a tight game with the Penguins that they should have won if not for a horrific first period. They played a tight game with the Blue jackets that they should have won if not for a horrific third period. ...
