NHL Picks Contest Round 12: Colorado Avalanche at New York Rangers
As always, to participate in our contest, please simply comment on the NHL Contest post from earlier in the week on our Facebook page.
I like the Avs here. I recognize that they’re on a back to back and a little tired, but I think they can give the Rangers a game. After a thrilling comeback, I think the Avalanche have some momentum against an overly-rested Rangers team with mediocre goaltending. I think the West is this much better than the east, particularly the Met.

NHL Picks Contest Round 13: Colorado Avalanche at New York Rangers, Tuesday, February 4th
The New York Rangers have been inconsistent this year, but they’re turning it on with two Stadium Series wins. Henrik Lundqvist seems to have found his stride again, but against a speedy Colorado Avalanche team this is a tough one. Colorado has depth and skating, and they pose a difficult matchup for the Rangers defense – not the mention the superiority of the west as a whole…

Stadium Series NHL Picks: New York Rangers Vs New York Islanders
The Stadium Series, which for me is little more than an NHL gimmick that takes the Winter Classic three steps too far, concludes with the Rangers and Islanders tonight in the second of the Rangers’ outdoor games this year. I’m actually excited for this game though, and love the line.
The New York Rangers are the better team this year in my opinion. The Islanders have been streaky, and are certainly capable of rising to the occasion on the big stage, but I don’t think they matchup well ...

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…

NHL Picks Contest: Florida Panthers at Buffalo Sabres
It’s another round of the competition, and it’s another ugly selection. The Florida Panthers are fresh off a very impressive win against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but they’re tired from a back to back and on the road in Buffalo. The Sabres are floundering this season, but they’re a physical team with excellent goaltending. Vegas and I agree that this is a coin flip.
I lean to the Sabres here, personally, but the computer disagrees. As such, this game does not fit any systems in the Z-Code VIP Club. That, of course, is ...

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 ...
