Ron Raymond's Free NHL Pick for February 25th 2009
By Ron Raymond on Feb 25, 2009 | In Welcome, Sports Betting Blogs, National Hockey League
LA Kings vs. Philadelphia
Ron’s Comment: Couple of factors are making me side with the Kings in this spot tonight. Most importantly; major letdown factor for the Flyers after their huge win over the Capitals in their building last night. Secondly, the Flyers are starting Biron and he’s been brutal in his last few outings. Consider the OVER in this game, as the OVER is 5-0-1 for the Flyers at home this season when the total is 6.0!
Prediction: LA Kings 5 Philadelphia 4
NY Rangers vs. Toronto
Ron’s Comment: The betting public is backing the Rangers tonight vs. the LEAFS because of the new coaching change. However, the Rangers have no chemistry and the fact that Avery is sitting in the wings to join this group of players, I bet you is not playing out well in the room with this current group. Goaltending is not the issue in New York, it’s their over price forwards like Naslund and Gomez who are missing in action. When TORONTO team played as Home team as a Underdog - Total is 5.5 - Coming off a 1 game win; the Leafs are 8-3-1 SU in this spot since ’96. Plus, the Leafs are 7-3 SU in their last 10 matches against Atlantic division friends.
Prediction: Toronto 4 NY Rangers 2
NY Islanders vs. Pittsburgh
Ron’s Comment: Good luck to you if you want to lay your money on the Islanders on the road this year! Especially vs. a division opponent, as they are 1-9 SU vs. division foes in their last 10 road games, while the Pens are 9-1 SU vs. division friends in their last 10. Here’s a nice NHL System supporting the Penguins; When ANY NHL Team Played as Home team as a Favorite - Vs Division Opponent - Total is 6.0 - Coming off a 1 game loss - Coming off a 2 game Road stand; the HOME FAVE (PENS) are 14-5 SU in this role since ’96.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 6 NY Islanders 2
