Saturday’s Picks – January 07, 2012
Well it was a terrific ending to 2011, with a 5-1 week, just those pesky Islanders getting in the way of a perfect Saturday night. Luckily I left that game off of my pro-line ticket. Thunder on the other hand had a week she’d like to forget only picking the Avs and Isles as winners, over Washington and Minnesota respectively, which is still gutsy in my book. Here’s a look at the matchups I like for this upcoming Saturday. I stayed away from the Bruins Canucks rematch, even though the B’s have won 9 of their last 10 while scoring 49 goals in the process. Lots of early NHL action as Bettman is worried about Wild Card weekend in the NFL (Go Niners!!! Oh wait, that’s next weekend). Let’s get it on:

There are currently a handful of players who have been performing beyond expectations, some since the beginning of the season and others who may just be on the aforementioned hot streak. Who is real and who is not? I will discuss who can keep it up and whether or not these players can be of value in a salary cap league.
