Welcome to Zak’s Puck Picks!! I started in Cash with Flash Handicapping Challenge and have been heating up. I am super excited to keep the momentum going and win some serious money with all of you!
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?
All odds are referenced from vegasinsider.com. I will play ALL the picks mentioned in these articles.
Puck Record for February (21-18) last night (1-2).
The Rangers pulled through for us yesterday. I hope you all saw the snip in Discord and took the Rangers either ML or live after the first. Detroit did it again to the Bruins, should have followed the trend, and a big 3rd period from the Jets set us behind for the day. Today is a new week, so let’s start off with a bang!
Pork’s Puck Pick- Montreal Canadians -130
Since trading for Taylor Hall on December 16, 2019, the Arizona Coyotes have won a grand total of 8 games in 21 contests. According to Newsday sports, they have also lost their last 6 road starts. With a record for the puck stoppers, Newsday sports had Carey Price with 4 victories in his last 5 starts, whereas Antti Raanta has only won 1 of his last 5 starts. Raanta was pulled before his last start however and Newsday sports reports that Kuemper could be ready to go as early as this game. We will have to see what happens with that Arizona goaltending situation but regardless I think the Canadians take this matchup.
Rib’s Puck Pick- New York Islanders +150
This is a battle between the 3rd overall team in goals per game in Washington vs the 5th overall team in Goals against. Washington is up 2-1 in their season series with the away team winning all 3 games. They say that defense wins championships and the trends in the past three games follow the road team winning narrative, so I’m sticking with it and saying that the Islanders will win. My only deterring thought is if Samsonov is the puck stopper for the Capitals. Stay in touch on discord and twitter for updates. But hey of Detroit can beat Boston, I have faith the Islanders can take out the Caps
Bean’s Puck Pick – Calgary Flames +100
This pick is strictly based on hope, Hope that this team is going to gel again on the road. I hope that the same Flames team that showed up against the Canucks Saturday night is the new standard. I hope that the same Flames team that lost to the Sharks 3-1 last week is no longer. I obviously have this hope and believe the Flames will have a payback mentality and will win this game in San Jose.
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!
