NHL Stanley Cup Final Predictions: LA Kings at NY Rangers Game Four

NHL Picks, Stanley Cup Finals Game Four: LA Kings at New York Rangers

What a great few games. There’s some conflict in the algorithm here, but strong signals for the Kings seem to be a general theme. This looks like a 50/50 coin flip game that we expect to be relatively close. The Kings are finding ways to win and Quick has been what Rangers fans hoped Lundqvist would be.

I don’t necessarily agree with the 99% call on the +1.5 line on the Kings. The danger of an empty netter alone should be reason enough for this dramatic figure  ... 

NHL Stanley Cup Picks Game Three: New York Rangers Vs LA Kings

NHL Stanley Cup Finals Picks Game Three: LA Kings at New York Rangers

Desperation is a powerful thing in the postseason. The New York Rangers have their backs to the wall and they return home with the series essentially on the line right here. They’ve had big leads in both games and there’s been three overtime periods so far, all on the road. The Rangers can play with the Kings and now they have home ice and matchup edges thanks to the last change.

But the Kings are surging and look good.

This is a dangerous game for me and I  ...

NHL Picks Contest Stanley Cup ($100): LA Kings Vs NY Rangers

After a goal scored on an offsides play, the LA Kings stole Game Seven to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. They’re tired, playing seven games in each of their first three series, but they’re winners. The Rangers are hot, disposing of an injured Habs team and resting up for the big series. Both teams are anchored in goaltending. I think I hate the LA Kings more than anything in sports, but as a Devils fan I don’t want to see either team win. This seems like a good way to do a round of the contest, then… right?

NHL Playoffs Picks: LA Kings at Chicago Blackhawks

NHL Playoffs Picks, Predictions: LA Kings at Chicago Blackhawks

I think the Blackhawks have to be the favorite to win the Stanley Cup at this point. They’ve got a deep team of proven winners, clutch scoring, and good defense. It’s going to be hard for a team like LA, experienced as they are, to take them out.

Again, I see value in the line and so does the computer. -150 is a slim price to pay for a team of champions on home ice against the LA Kings. The Kings have worked hard to get where they are, but they  ...

NHL Playoffs Picks and MLB Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Chicago Blackhawks at LA Kings, Saturday, May 24th

I think we all agree the Blackhawks are the better team in this series, but on the road with a few games to go to reach the Stanley Cup anything can happen. Chicago is a deep team with proven winners and talented scoring. LA is a deep team with stout defensemen and an excellent goalie. Will they defend home ice?

NHL Playoff Picks: Anaheim Ducks Vs LA Kings

This has been a truly phenomenal series, and my advice here continues to be to avoid these teams. The Ducks are hot, the Kings are experienced, and both are playoff winners. The Ducks were the better team all year, but when you get into the playoffs, you can’t mess around with the Kings. They’re too deep, too defensively talented, and too experienced.

I think the Ducks will win, and I think they have the talent to control this game and keep the momentum going. I just don’t really like the way these teams matchup. The computer leans to the Ducks  ...

Another upset as a minority of players got it right this week, but the Montreal Canadiens took out the Boston Bruins again. The NHL Playoffs have been epic, and so has our contest. We’ve got some new leaders! Congrats again, let’s keep winning together!

NHL Playoffs Picks Contest: Boston Bruins at Montreal Canadiens ($100 Prize!)

NHL Playoffs Picks Contest: Boston Bruins at Montreal Canadiens

The Habs are hot and Carey Price is playing out of this world. The Boston Bruins lack the offensive star power to feel confident betting into a goalie this tremendous. Price is proving himself. This is dangerous.

Still, there seems to be line value, for me, in the Boston Bruins. I think they’re the best team in hockey right now, and I’ve got to think they can bounce back from that game one loss with authority. Game Two proved that. Game Three will decide if they’ve lose home ice or if  ... 

NHL Picks Contest Round Four: Boston Bruins at Montreal Canadiens

NHL Picks Contest Round Four: Boston Bruins at Montreal Canadiens

Tuesday. May 6th

This is one of my favorite rivalries in sports and so far the first two games haven’t disappointed. Boston is deep, physical, experienced, and they know how to win. Montreal is hot and Carey Price might be the best goaltender in the playoffs right now. On the road, can Boston battle back in this series and find a way after losing home ice advantage for the series? Dramatic comebacks, epic overtimes, fantastic goaltending, high scores, big hits, and a whole lot of playoff hate. Who ya got?
