A big part of my life is my 3 kids. Each one of them holds a different attribute that I would personally use to aid me in deciding what picks to make. My twins Pork and Ribs and their little brother Bean (not their real names but very appropriate nicknames).
Pork is a doer. He is one to dive into a situation and figure it out as it unfolds, usually with great success. In terms of the puck pick, it will be a gut feeling pick and be backed with some stats to explain the feeling.
Ribs, he likes to observe the situation, take in all the information, and then make an educated decision on what his next step will be. His puck pick will be focused around teams that are on hot streaks, either against a team in a matchup or on a winning streak.
Now Bean may sound cute and innocent, but he is a wild man. Not a lot of thought goes into actions and if there is some thought, its geared towards “how can I push Dad’s buttons”. His puck pick will be a little more on the risky side. There will be reasons why I think we should go this way.
As cook by trade and hockey as a passion since I was 3 years old, let’s get some puck picks in the oven and make some dough shall we?

Puck Record for February (26-28) last night (1-6)
Not much to say about last night. Upsetting, to say the least. Maybe the Flames have started a new trend of 40+ shot shutouts at the Honda Centre! I’ll take that as some Posijavity!
Pork’s Puck Pick- New York Rangers +108
The road team has won 3 of the last 4 games in this series. Both teams played last night so that should not be a factor. New York pulled out a gutsy come from behind win against the Minnesota Wild, where the Jackets lost to the Sabres in OT. The Rangers I think will continue their road winning streak due to their ability to burry pucks in the net right now.
Rib’s Puck Pick- Pittsburgh Penguins-195
Pittsburgh has been inconsistent as of late seemingly losing one and winning 2. The good news is if this trend is to continue, they are coming off of a loss to a healthier Tampa Bay team in overtime. Montreal also posted loss via the Bruins their last night out. I definitely see the Penguins having the upper hand here. It will be interesting to see where newcomer Jason Zucker will fit in.
Bean’s Puck Pick- Winnipeg Jets -129
The Jets have better firepower and have been showing it with Wheeler and Laine. The San Jose Goaltending Duo has been struggling although Aaron Dell has been playing much better as of late. I think the Jets have enough firepower to win this game at home
Zak’s Puck Pick- Carolina-225
Only a four-game slate let’s do them all. Louis Domingue has been confirmed as the Devils pick stopper and have been more of a puck sieve lately. The Devils did only play Detroit last night but they still had a game while Carolina rested. Carolina is by far the better team here, hence the -225 money line.
There are a few other matchups I may like, however it depends who the puck stopper is. Stay tuned to the #nhl and # sports betting tabs on Discord, as well as Twitter for any changes or more potential matchups as more news unfolds!

NHL Update
The NHL Playoff picture is beginning to take shape. With about 70% of the season behind us here are your division leaders and their respective Stanley Cup Odds. The Capitals have maintained their points lead over the surging Penguins, while the Lightning has won 8 in a row in an attempt to catch the Bruins. All 4 teams see their odds stay about the same to win the Stanley Cup, while the entire Pacific Division attempts to sort out who will represent them in the playoffs and who will settle for a Wildcard spot.

Before the first puck of the season dropped for the 2019-2020 NHL season we offered Over/Under Point Totals for each team. The Islanders and Blue Jackets are on their way to hitting the over while the Devils and Red Wings are running out of gas to get them over the finish line.
