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: Ottawa Senators at Calgary Flames

Not a lot to choose from today, but here’s what I have for you guys tonight… This is a tremendously dangerous game, but it may also have the most value on the board as the computer indicates. The facts are these:

1. Senators have lost three of four and look sloppy out of the break

2. The Flames are a much better team at home and their recent slump has been on the road ...

NHL Picks: Carolina Hurricanes at Buffalo Sabres

NHL hockey is back! The Olympic break is over and we got the Canadian gold medal right. It’s always good to make profits when your sport is on a break. That said, we did pretty good with our new addition, NCAA basketball, and with the NBA.

Here, we have a weak signal on the only game on the board. The Carolina Hurricanes have been a confusing team this year, while the Buffalo Sabres have been horrible (but consistently horrible). There’s some volatility here that the algorithm doesn’t like, but there’s also that happy familiarity ...

NHL Picks: Colorado Avalanche at New York Islanders, Ducks over Preds

NHL Picks: Colorado Avalanche at New York Islanders AND Anaheim Ducks at Nashville Predators

Two picks for you guys today. Hopefully everyone else is having as good a week as we are.

First, the Ducks and Preds. This is a tricky game, but I think it’s the most lucrative on the board for Thursday. The Anaheim Ducks have been one of the best teams in the NHL this year, surprising many. Unfortunately, however, they’re on a bit of a downswing and this game is dangerous as a result.

The Preds have had excellent goaltending this month and it has led ...

NHL Picks: Colorado Avalanche at New York Rangers, Contest Game

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.

The computer sees a ...

NHL Picks Contest: Colorado Avalanche at New York Rangers

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…

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…

NHL Picks Contest Game: Florida Panthers at Buffalo Sabres

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): 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: 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. ...
