NHL Picks Contest: Vancouver Canucks at Phoenix Coyotes

NHL Picks Competition: Vancouver Canucks at Phoenix Coyotes

These two teams have completely fallen off the map, and true to our competition form, there really isn’t much of a signal on this game. The computer expects a close game, with an 83% chance of a game decided by one goal. That said, the underdog value parameter conflicts with the money line output odds. There’s just no reason to chase this game.

But what you should do, instead of betting your money on this one, is place a wager in our NHL Picks contest. Round 16 is underway, and this should be  ... 

NHL Picks 10/25: Vancouver Canucks at St. Louis Blues

NHL Picks and Predictions, 10/25: Vancouver Canucks at St. Louis Blues

Z-Code and I have wildly different lines here. My book has +180, Z-Code has +150 or so. I think that makes some difference.

The Vancouver Canucks are too good a team to be this big of an underdog. I say this aware that they’re on the road and in a back to back. Normally, I would never touch a game like this. At this line, however, I think it’s worth a small wager on the Canucks.

The Blues are a consistent team, but they don’t strike me as dominant.  ... 

2013-14 NHL Predictions, Pacific Preview: Vancouver Canucks Still on Top?

Pacific Division 2013-14 NHL Preview and Predictions

1. Vancouver Canucks: New coach could signal a new era, but the departure of Cory Schneider should leave this goaltending unit a bit weaker than it’s been over the last few years. Even if Luongo isn’t the guy, however, there’s too much depth in Vancouver. The twins are playing for a contract, the defensive unit is great as always, and they have two legitimate scoring lines. I think that’s enough for one of the most consistent franchises in hockey to continue being consistent.

2. Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks lost Bobby Ryan  ... 

NHL Featured Picks and Predictions: Canucks Vs Kings

NHL Featured Game – Vancouver Canucks Vs LA Kings

I’d love to feature a very low confidence upset pick on the Nashville Predators, but with goalie confirmation still pending, let’s go with the Canucks game.

The Vancouver Canucks were carried in February by a two-goalie system that really worked. That said, Roberto Luongo allowed 8 goals in a single game, while Cory Schneider has been mediocre. Playing for a chance to take over the top spot again, Schneider needs to be better. Against a middling LA Kings offense, Schneider simply needs to deliver a win.

The LA Kings have turned  ... 

NHL Preseason Picks and Predictions: Hockey’s Playoff Teams 2013

The NHL season is finally upon us, which means we get to finally outline predictions for the upcoming hockey season.  We’ll do each conference, and predict which teams will make the playoffs.  Last year, Z-Code was one of the only professional prediction services to have the Devils making the Stanley Cup Final.  Let’s see if we can do it again this year:

Western Conference:

1. Vancouver Canucks:  How do you bet against these guys?  They return a stud goaltender and some of the best scorers in hockey.  They have a two-way team that can dominate a game.  The Canucks will be great again.

2. St. Louis Blues:  The Blues have the best goaltending tandem in hockey.  This team is built for another playoff run.

3. LA Kings:  In the worst division in hockey, the Kings should be able to win the division this year.  They made a Stanley Cup run last year as an 8th seed, but they won’t sneak  ...
