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 ($100 Prize) Round 11: Florida Panthers at Buffalo Sabres
I got a little bit of a thrill from watching the struggles you guys had to decide between two struggling teams in the last round, so I thought I’d do it again. The Panthers are playing better of late, but the Sabres, anchored in goaltending and physicality, should give them a game on home ice. Changes in the front office may have turned them around, but the Panthers appear to have more talent. This should be a good one.

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 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 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 ...
