We hit the one play we had yesterday with the Blues. Only a three-game card for Monday night with so many games being postponed. I'm not really big on the card but games are starting to tighten up defensively, with games starting to go under more than over the total like they did for the last week. It's definitely worth watching over the next few nights. Analysis below.
BOS/WASH - Dont look now but the Bruins are finally healthy and starting to play like the Boston team so many of us have watched over the last decade. The Bruins have won 4 of 5 since the break while the Caps have lost 3 straight. Lean to Boston -105.
SEA/COL - The Avs have won 4 in a row since the break and are off a huge emotional win over the Leafs down 4-1 and won 5-4 in OT. Could be a letdown spot and they have the Preds on deck in Nashville. These 2 teams have combined to go over the total 42 of 59 games so far this season. Seattle hasn't played since Jan.1st too, not worth the price -390 for Colorado, pass for me on the side but over 6 looks good. Avs will start the back up goaile with the Preds on deck, plus Seattle +340 could be worth a shot.
NYR/LA - This will be the Ranger's 3rd game in 5 nights on the road but 7th game overall over the last 11 days! The Kings have played 5 straight at home with 3 wins over Detroit, Philly and Vancouver. Small lean to LA -110. When both teams are receiving the same offs, I always go with the home team in that scenario.
Playing tonight -
Bruins - ML(-105)(2 Units) SEA/COL o6(-115)(2 Units) LA - ML(-110)(1 Unit) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Survivor Hockey Pool is basically the same idea as Survivor Football pools, except picking consistent winners in hockey is a little tougher than it is in football. Our Survivor Hockey pool is all based on the weekend (Sat-Sun) schedule, so you could potentially pick a team against different opponents if they play both days.
How to Play
Entrants pick two teams each weekend of the NHL regular season with the intention of the selection winning. A shootout or OT win, count as your team winning.
If the team's selected wins, the entry survives to the following week.
If one of the teams selected loses, the entry is eliminated from the pool. If you fail to post your picks before the weekly deadline, your team is eliminated.
If all remaining teams lose during a week, they all move on to the next week.
The final surviving entry is the winner unless there are multiple teams alive after the final week of the season.
Teams may only be selected one time for the duration of the pool. You can't pick a team a second time after you have used that desired team's selection once.
If you pick a team in which the game is postponed due to covid, the selection will be canceled, you won't be graded a win or a loss and you will have to pick an additional play the following weekend.
We will post a new blog every Friday in which you will post your 2 weekly picks. The picks can't be edited as the system shuts them down and we will take pics of each weekly entry so nobody is trying to cheat. This way everyone can see your picks each week. The deadline for your weekly entry will be at Noon EST every Saturday. The first week's deadline is Saturday, Jan. 15th at Noon EST.
Cost - $100 per entry is payable by Paypal or if you live in Canada, E-transfer is accepted, which is also the quickest way to gain entry. If you choose Paypal allow a few days for the payment to go through so please keep this in mind when registering that we need to receive it before the deadline for week 1 picks need to be posted. The maximum number of entries by any e-mail address or user at hockeybuzz is 3! Once we have your money you will be notified and activated into the contest. Please IM here at hockeybuzz and I will give you the email address for Paypal or the E-transfer. We will release how many entries we have after the deadline so each entrant is aware of the payout at the end of the contest.
If you have any questions, please IM here at hockeybuzz or post them in the comment section. Thank you.
