In the weekly piece “Saturday’s NHL Picks,” Flip Livingstone breaks down at least three of Saturday’s NHL games where he will either pick a winner or make an over/under bet on total goals.
+15 bananas last week! What a great night...hopefully some of you made some money. Let’s see if we can get on a little roll as we head into a new year.
I’m not feeling well. When I was younger I always played better when I wasn’t feeling well. Bet the house this week!
Week 1: +13 bananas
Week 2: -2 bananas
Week 3: +8 bananas
Week 4: -2 bananas
Total: +17 bananas
I see a pattern. This should be a good week. I’m going by gut feeling this week and I’ll give you my predictions in Pro-Line format also.
Week 3 saw a nice recovery from the disastrous second week. I'm changing the format a little this week. Due to the NHL's laughable injury disclosure policy, identifying who will be out due to an injury has become a crapshoot. Therefore, I won't be including the "Key Injuries" subheading that I had in previous weeks. You guys hang out at Dobberhockey.com so you know all the key injuries anyway. Good luck to us this week.
After a great start two weeks ago everything came crashing back to reality last week. I ended up down 2 bananas for the week so my two-week total looks like this:
Week 1: +13 bananas
Week 2: -2 bananas
Total: +11 bananas
What a great start to this gig I had last week. I'm afraid I may have set the standard too high. I managed to pick 8 of 12 winning teams and I was correct on 10 of 12 OVER/UNDERS. I know in the forum "joos" managed to pick a 4-game winner...hopefully a few more of you managed to cash in also. Good luck to us this week.
This week marks the debut of the "monkey". Dale McCarthy gives you his picks for Saturday's games, as well as his reasoning and info that you need to know!
ALL 30 teams are playing Saturday - enjoy the games, and consider some of these points when placing your friendly wagers...
Notch is back again with his winners. Maybe his tips will help you with some tough decisions on your Saturday ticket.
It is the last Saturday of the year and I would like to thank those people who followed my picks. It was a tough year for everyone who was “man” enough to put their picks down on paper so to speak. Post-lockout hockey truly is the toughest sport to pick a winner or wager your hard earned money on.
For this week, things change a little bit. If the game has any meaning at all, you have to try a figure out what teams are thinking and where they would like to be seeded. Playoff teams are going to be entering into potential seven-game wars with other teams and they want to be sure that they match up well with their prospective opponent if they can. Good luck, and thanks again.
