Florida Panthers @ New York Islanders

For this match up, both teams have several injuries. However, none is a key player, so we can expect for this game the best that rosters got to offer.

Florida is one team that got their momentum 2 weeks ago. This team is one of the poorest on NHL, concerning to talent. They can play hard, with all they got, as they did in several games in November. However, that wasn´t the reality of the team, and it will be hard for them to get a spot on playoffs despite the 12-14 record they got right now.

Islanders were the worst team last season, and that give them the right to pick the firs player on the draft. So, this year, we have the young players from last season and the first draft pick, Tavares. Despite they struggled in the start of the season, this team have lot´s of talent, and when the wins finally appear, this team achieved regular wins.

This match up will be decided in details, and those details will be the home advantage and the young players talent. If Islanders finally learn to deal with the lack of experience, Panthers can overwhelm themselves to deal with lack of talent. So both teams will fight for this game, but I believe on the kids, as they have already show that they can be mature.


Pick: New York Islanders 3Way (1X2) +110 (2.10) Bookmaker, +115 (2.15) Goalwin



Atlanta Thrashers @ New York Rangers

I wonder if we should count with home advantage for this game. Atlanta has better record on the road than Rangers at home. With 9-5 on road, Atlanta is a road team that have no fear to face the games even against the public. 7-8 is a negative record, and Rangers are showing some problems and are with 3 losses in a row at home.

Atlanta is a solid team. They just play manage the game on their own, being solid on defense and offense. Even when the games are very balanced, Kovalchuk appears and solve the problem. A solid and cohesive team, allowing only 2.80 goals on the road and scoring 3.00 goals on the road as well, is a positive way to face the games.

Rangers are passing a letdown spot. Their game is just poor, that can´t play as a team, and desperate for Gaborik inspiration. However he can't solve anything alone. One of those signs is that the team is scoring only 1.60 goals per game in last five.

Rangers have to wait for a team that struggles on offense to turn things. However they will face one solid team with Kovalchuk, one of the best players of NHL. We can score one goal at any moment, and it´s hard to imagine Trashers leave New York without goals scored. Having problems in their defense as well as their offensive, opens a window to Atlanta win this game. With these high odds, we have the value that we need.


Pick: Atlanta Thrashers ML +120 (2.20) Bookmaker

Philadelphia Flyers @ Pittsburgh Penguins: Philadelphia Flyers ML +180 (2.80) Bookmaker

Well folks, I can't miss this one. The odds are showing a great value for us, and it's simple to explain why to take this chance.

Flyers were among the teams with the best game. However, somehow, they lost it. They replaced the coach, but the results still hard to get. But this team are going through a rehab, and we should not forget they were a top3 offensive team. This is something of great value because their offensive were provided by every player, and not only centers.

Pittsburgh are the actual champions. Impossible to forget it. However, they are not acting like that so far. They are showing a soft game in many occasions, they are showing some dependence in Malkin and Crosby, but they are not passing through their best moment. In last 3 home games, they lost 2, and won 1 in OT. I have to highlight one of those losses. It were against Carolina, the worst team so far (the biggest odds have seen so far in ML this season).

So, why not to try another funny play? Flyers are in rehab, and they play a offensive hockey that reaches their best moments in big games, and that's the perfect game to Flyers turn things around. Penguins are going through a bad moment, and I can see here Flyers fighting with all they got for this game, but not Penguins.




Washington Capitals @ Colorado Avalanche: Washington Capitals 3Way (1X2) +115 (2.15) Bookmaker, +125 (2.25) Goalwin

A team with Ovechkin have to be a contender to Stanley Cup. Washington is not only Ovechkin, and after failed last year, we can expect great things for this team. So far, they have struggled in few games where they had several key players with injuries. Since that, they are showing some improvements, and just fail some games once in a while. However, they are now 0-2 in last 2 road games. To keep that improvement, they got to deny a defeat today and keep this current streak as short as 2 games. They are a good road team, with 10-5 record, and are scoring 3.8 goals in last 5 games, make them a team to fear.

Colorado is no longer that Cinderella team from the start of the season. Despite the positive (and good) record of 19-10, this team are achieving more losses than wins in last games. With 9-3 record at home, it's important to quote that in last 5 home games, they hosted 3 of the worst road team, and lost 3 games in that period. They are trying to make some efforts on defense, and in last 5, they only allowed 1.20 goals per game. However, their offense are not producing enough to help their defense.

In this match up, Colorado defense will probably allow more than the goals they tried to avoid in last games. They will face a great offensive team, and the quality of the roster have different values. Colorado is passing a letdown moment, struggling on offense, and it will be hard to hold Washington.

Dallas Stars @ Carolina Hurricanes: Over 5.5 -105 (1.95) Bookmaker, Goalwin

New York Islanders @ New York Rangers: New York Rangers 3Way (1X2) +105 (2.05) Bookmaker, +105 (2.05) Goalwin

Atlanta Thrashers @ Florida Panthers: Atlanta Thrashers ML -105 (1.95) The Greek



Atlanta Thrashers @ Florida Panthers

Again with Atlanta on the road as dogs. It's simple, the value it's all there. Just because in last 4 road games, Atlanta lost 3 in a row, make them a bad road team? I can't believe it! Despite that 3 losses, they are 10-5, and leave MSG in their last game with a win! And that's why I can't understand this odds. But this team keep us earning money when playing on the road.

Atlanta is a great road team. They are solid and cohesive, never give up, and have players to decide games. That's enough for us. This will be their last road game for the next games, and will probably like to end it well.

Florida is a non reliable team, due to some lack of talent, as they are one of the poorest teams on NHL. In last game, they went to New York to give a blow out loss to Islanders. That result was surprising and there were more demerit for Islanders than merit for Panthers. The truth is that this team has passed a good moment, but lost that moment. Since then, they are achieving regular losses and once a while a win, when they catch some team in that mood. Their home record is negative, and had already lost to Thrashers at home 10 days ago.

New York Islanders @ New York Rangers

This game will be played on the Madison Square Garden, a derby between two long time rivals. Both teams are in a bad moment, with the Islanders losing 6 of their last 10 games, while the Rangers have lost 7 in their last 10.

The spot for this game is on experience. This game will be played with a low pace, with both teams trying to avoid committing mistakes.

Islanders have great talent, but are a young team and immature. They started the season with several straight losses, but turn things up. However, they are now going down again, and are making some forbidden mistakes due to their youth.

Rangers... well, they had a great start of the season, they were on fire, but suddenly, they just stop playing as a team. They are showing a bad hockey game, but they are trying turn things around, and are just needing a little bit of luck to get a win. Their roster have great values, but we have to highlight Gaborik, who I suspect that will solve the game today (he have the talent for it).

Pick: New York Rangers 3Way (1X2) +105 (2.05) Bookmaker, +105 (2.05) Goalwin

NHL 2009.12.17, first pick:

Pittsburgh Penguins @ Philadelphia Flyers: Philadelphia Flyers ML -105 (1.95) The Greek

Recently I covered the previous match between these teams. That match ended 6-1 for the Penguins but this time the Flyers play on their home ice. The Penguins deserved their win, taking more shots and shooting with greater efficiency. In a hard game featuring plenty of fights the Flyers failed to take their chances.

Today, I expect Philadelphia to approach the game differently. Their new coach is focused more on scoring than fighting so they should spend far more time on the ice rather than looking on from the penalty box. Although the Penguins have great offensive players capable of scoring anytime, they haven't played as well lately. I expect the Flyers to win at home.

NHL 2009.12.18, final 2 picks:


Washington Capitals @ Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver will host today Washington. It's like one hot team facing one burning team.

Since Ovechkin returned, Washington is giving blow out wins every other day. It's simple for them, as they play a great offensive game with several awesome players. They are 8-2 in last 10, and are a team with an average of 3.60 goals scored. It's also their 8 road game in 10 games, and will be the last but one before going home. They will have another game tomorrow, but they know that the hard game is today, and they will not be spared.

Vancouver is another offensive team, scoring 3.10 goals per game. They still chasing a good streak as they are in a good form but failing in some few games. The 7-4 record last 11 are not bad, but it's incredible to see that some of the losses were against weaker teams.

For this game, Washington is on advantage. Their roster is much more, and are the masters in the kind of game that Vancouver play. Vancouver is a team that take the chance to control the game when some team give it. However, Washington is a team that like to enter the game controlling, scoring soon, and i expect that will be hard to Vancouver to recover and keep the scoreboard equalize.


Pick: Washington Capitals 3Way (1X2) +135 (2.35) Bookmaker, +145 (2.45) Goalwin



Boston Bruins @ Chicago Blackhawks

This will be a nice matchup. I will take Boston that are with great value, and it's not so hard as it seems, even going against the strong Blackhawks.

Boston is a team with a good roster, very balanced, that were disappointing in the first 2 months. One of the reasons why people believed in them is because they have maintained almost all their players from the last season. And if you remember, Bruins were the best regular season team by far last year.

About Blackhawks is not much to say. They are playing very well, and they earn their record of 21-8. They are playing most of the games at home, were they are 14-3, and this shows how big they are at home. They are allowing only 0.80 goals per game in last five games, and that shows a great improvement on their defense, but their last 4 games were to easy. Their strong is on their offensive line, where they have great players.

So, it seems a easy play to Blackhawks. After all, they are playing a great hockey, and have much more points in the league than Bruins. They are also one of the best home teams, with a impressive record of 14-3. However, it's not so simple. Bruins are growing and improving a lot since last month. They are trying to reach the same level they had last season. They got almost the same players (but all the key players), and come out of Chicago last season with a win. In the last 3 matchups in Chicago between both teams, Bruins only loss one in OT. With the value that oddsmakers offers, Bruins is the play here.

Detroit Red Wings @ Chicago Blackhawks: Chicago Blackhawks PL -1.5 +145 (2.45) The Greek

St. Louis Blues @ Vancouver Canucks: St. Louis Blues ML +165 (2.65) Bookmaker


ATTENTION: Chicago Blackhawks 3Way (1X2) -125 (1.80) Goalwin or higher offers more odds value than CHI PL -1.5. The Blackhawks should win this on regulation time, so if you can get at least -125 (1.80) or better odds, for example -115 (1.87), go ahead and risk 1 NHL unit. Otherwise, you might just play one unit on CHI PL or if you're using Bookmaker, you can do this:

Imagine that your NHL unit is $100. Risk $60 3Way (1X2) on CHI -135 (1.74) Bookmaker and risk $40 on the CHI PL +140. If the 3Way wins but the PL loses, both bets will even/cancel out each other and you end up with +$4.44. If both plays win, you get +$100.4. If you can get 1.87 odds on the CHI 3Way, you win +$87. Those were the odds I've got on Pinnacle.

Florida Panthers @ Philadelphia Flyers

For this matchup, there is one team that needs more this win than other. And that is half of the way to win these matchup.

Florida has been quite good, surprising everyone positively. They had a great run some games ago, but since that run, they only win to teams that show some apathy in the approach to the game. They are a team with a bad defense, and a common offense. In practice, they normally doesn´t got any edge in game factors, but their will is normally enough to boost their talent.

Philadelphia is really passing a bad moment. They already changed their coach, but the results still missing. This team got a good roster, as they already show earlier in the season. But somehow, this team got a bad moment, and it´s been hard to overcome. But in their last games, they already showed their game, and that they can be good, despite the last 3 losses. Last two games, they had many chances to win, but they had no luck.

For today, I expect Florida to miss their biggest edge, as they usually are the team that wants more to win. Today, Flyers have that edge. Flyers are also a better team, and when the results starts to coming, this team will give some blowout losses to their opponents. Today, I expect that Flyers will start again in the right path and try to make up for playoffs, a road that starts to seems to far.


Philadelphia Flyers PL -1.5 +180 (2.80) The Greek[/b]



New York Rangers @ Carolina Hurricanes

This will be an interesting matchup. Rangers are really improving their game? Hurricanes are finally standing up at home to try their best?

Rangers have won their last 2 games. Those 2 games were the first 2 on a 3 games road trip, that will end today at Carolina. For a team with 1-8 record in the previous games, it´s a team with a weak confidence, particularly when they know how suffered was last win. Gaborik was the key for the first win, an easy win. But Lundqvist, their goaltender, were the real key for both games. But the fact is that this team could be improving, but a roadtrip is not the place to prove it, as they were playing really bad, and their biggest problem is that their players were without confidence and weren´t playing as a team.

Carolina had a 14 games losing streak. It was hard to the team deal with some injuries and with that streak. However, this team is a team that is very cohesive and hard to beat at home. Since that streak, Hurricanes are 6-2 at home and playing well. Even when they lost, they made it hard to the opponents, selling with an expensive cost their defeat.

Today he will have a 50-50 game. Rangers got a better squad, but Hurricanes are playing a better game and will play at home where they are strong. Rangers still needs to prove us that they finally restored their best game. With a 50-50 chance, Hurricanes shows a great odds value, and I will take it.


Pick: Carolina Hurricanes ML +105 (2.05) The Greek

Nashville Predators @ Vancouver Canucks

Both teams will play their last game before Christmas. The goal for all players in this time of the year is to meet their family, something that the Predators wish more than Vancouver, as the Nashville team will play the last of their 3 road games series, and the Canucks will play their 7th straigh home game.

The Predators have a good record, with 5 wins in a row. They are playing well and they are a good home team and strong on the road as well.

The Canucks are also playing a nice hockey game, and losing few games once a while.

At home they are strong and when they are concentrated, they are hard to beat, particulary at home. The key for this game is that the Canucks defense is much better than Predators.

Despite the good streak that the Predators are coming from, it is quite probable that they will not be able to keep it their good moment on today's game, as they are already thinking in returning home to their familys, and will not be focused to win this game as they should.

On the other hand, the Vancouver team doesn't have that need since they had play all their last games at home and they are confortable close with their families and that in this time of the year is a very nice asset.

The Canucks are focused in winning this game and after a bad loss in the last game, they'll today work hard to achieve a win before the holidays, and they've got the power to do so, because if they want to do it, they are better in offense as well in defense than the Predators.
