Last night the favs went 7-0 with the home teams going 6-1! We had 6 teams playing on back-to-back nights, in different situations but they went 1-5, with Florida the only winner playing in this situation. We also had 5 of the 7 games go over the total in the 1st period. Teams that played back to back on the road went under the total in 2 of the 3 games.
1 pm EST - EDM/NJ - The Oilers will be getting a ton of players back out of covid protocol and are only a -149 fav! NJ finally broke their 6 game losing streak. Lean to the over here as well, even at 6.
3 pm EST - ANA/VEGAS - They have split the first 2 meetings of the year and Vegas is without Stone/Patches and Lehner. No way Vegas should be -189 with 3 of their best out of the lineup. Small lean to the Ducks +157 and with this game being a Noon local time start, not sure what to do on the total.
7 pm EST - NYR/TB - The Lightning is playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, home, away last night, and now back home. These 2 teams are playing a home and home each other, so lucky TB goes back on the road to NY for the return contest. NYR rested waiting for TB while they got thumped by Florida but that's because TB is using their 3rd and 4th goalies and the same thing will happen tonight. Huge lean to the over here and NYR ML small +130.
7:30 pm EST - This will be the Wing's first game since the break and the Caps won 2 nights ago at home. You got a very good road team against a great home team in Detroit. I lean to the over here(even though both games between these 2 have gone under this year) with Detroit being a young team and being their first game back, many teams have struggled defensively in their first game back after the break.
Playing tonight -
Oilers - ML(-149)(2 Units) EDM/NJ o5.5(2 Units) NYR - ML(+130)(2 Units) NYR/TB o6(3 Units) WASH/DET o5.5(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. 1st 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.
