NHL Picks 10/30: Toronto Maple Leafs at Calgary Flames

NHL Picks 10/30: Toronto Maple Leafs at Calgary Flames

The Leafs have started the year at a good pace. Even without top free-agent signing David Clarkson, Toronto has been scoring. Their 44 goals lead the East, and they’ve climbed to the top of their division.

Balancing their attack, the goaltending tandem they’ve established has led them to a +14 goal differential. If only Brian Burke could see this team now.

The Calgary Flames have fallen off dramatically. They’ve lost two of three and four of their last six. Back home, they are playing considerably better. They’re also very well rested.  ... 

NHL Picks and Predictions: Pittsburgh Penguins at Toronto Maple Leafs

NHL Featured Game: Pittsburgh Penguins at Toronto Maple Leafs

I think I received the biggest compliment of my career when someone asked earlier this week “do you guys post your picks before or after the game?”. I guess I’ve been doing pretty well lately.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are without their second best scorer in Evgeni Malkin. THe Toronto Maple Leafs have been without their second best scorer all year in Joffrey Lupul. Both teams are in the playoff hunt – the Pens are underachieving while the Leafs are blowing away lukewarm expectations.

With two skilled goaltenders in the midst of  ...

NHL Featured Hockey Game, Wednesday, January 23 – Toronto Maple Leafs at Pittsburgh Penguins

I don’t usually fall in love with -200 lines, but today is a beauty.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are the best team in hockey right now. They have three of the best forwards in the NHL in James Neal, Sidney Crosby, and Evgeni Malkin. They have a talented goalie in Marc-Andre Fleury. The Penguins are coached well, consistent, and perennial contenders. They’re hot to start the year and there’s a little bit of value even in this ugly line.

The Leafs goaltending has been in shambles since James  ... 

Free Pick of the day by Ron

The All Star break is over, and it was a pretty theatrical and annoying one at that. We are back in action tonight with one of the largest lineups of the season. Unfortunately no one will be wearing a cape.

The million dollar question in the air is how will teams be affected by the break?

Lucky for us we only choose one game to work with, so we only need to worry about this effect on a single game basis. The last fact we all encountered were the Red Wings crawling into a deep sleep just before the break.  ... 

NHL Pick of the day from Ron for 23 January 2012

Home and Home

Recap: Let’s go over some crucial points about our past couple of picks. We are now a game below .500, losing our past two days plays. On one of these days we had two game picks, so it comes out to three losing plays total which moved our record backwards to this point. Now we’re going to move forward and turn it around. Though it’s smart not to look back, we aren’t simply going to move forward in denial like most would. Instead we’re going to make room for some interesting discussion here, hope you enjoy it!
