What a wild night we had on Saturday night! I tend to make a lot of plays on the weekend and this time it bit me in the wallet as they say. First periods overs were 7-4 and the scoring is cooling off a bit, with totals going the other way, unders were 6-5. Road teams were 6-5 which doesn't happen often this season and the favs were only 6-5.
I had a funny feeling on TB knowing they were playing 7 in 11 nights and it showed, boy did they come out flat! The Wild got a late goal then won in a shootout for us. The Avs had a huge comeback for us too, plus we hit the over in that game and the Avs are on a 23-2 run of going over the total in the 3rd period! The Pens/Stars game was terrific but failed to go over the total for us. It was amazing to see how flat Vegas was, I don't know if they left it all on the ice against the Rangers, but they looked to be in reverse all night. I didn't see that coming from the 2nd highest scoring team in the league.
We only have 2 games today, but we got 5 games lined up for Monday night. Analysis below.
DAL/STL - 2pm EST - The Blues sat rested while Dallas had a huge come from behind 3rd period win over Pittsburgh. The Stars have only played 2 games since the break, winning both at home. STL has won 3 of 4 since the break and is off a dominating win over the Caps on Friday night. Huge lean to the Blues -154. Pass on the total for now. Wait for starting goalies.
DET/ANA - Ducks are decimated by injuries and covid, while the Wings are lousy on the road. Both teams had tough games last night, small lean to the under 5.5. Back later on this game.
Playing today -
STL - ML(-154)(2 Units) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
