Ron’s NHL PICKS (FEB 3RD)

Ottawa PK +120: The bookmakers still don’t believe in the Senators 9 game winning streak, because why would they label them a +120 road underdog vs. their division leaders? The Sabres know this an important game, because an Ottawa win would bring Ottawa 3 points closer to first place in the Northeast division. Brian Elliot is scheduled to get the nod and he’s 6-0 SU vs. the Sabres in his young net minding career.

Here’s an O/U Fact: When OTTAWA played as any home/road team - During Last 2 Years - With 6 Under or Less - Won Last Game by 1 Goals or More - With SU Record of 3 Win 0 Lost in L3G; the UNDER is 9-1-0 for the Sens in this spot.

Chicago PK -270: Tough spot for the Hawks, that first game after a long extended road trip is a hard one to win and Chicago is playing their first home game since January 14th. The Hawks are tough at home; they are 21-6 SU as a home favorite and are 7-3 SU in their last 10 head to head meetings with the Blues in Chicago. I would not bet on Chicago alone, parlay them with another team. When CHICAGO Played as home team as a Favorite - During Current Season - With SU Record of 2 Win 1 Lost in L3G; the Hawks are 10-2 SU in this cycle.

Calgary PK -170: I’m starting to think the bad environment of the Calgary Flames is not being generated by the players, but more by the coaching staff and management. In my view, I believe the players don’t want to play hard anymore for the Sutter’s and management is placing way too much pressure on this average team for unreachable results. Why else would Phaneuf play hard last night, fight and looked like he gave a damn? Plus, with Rumors of coaches and players shouting at each other are never a good thing and how else can you explain their 1-9 SU record last 10 games? Nevertheless, the Canes are not a team that can be trusted, especially when Edmonton beat them in their last game. Great NHL system on this game; When ANY NHL Team played as a home team - Before a non conference game - After a non division game - During the month of February - Coming off a 2 game Home stand - Coming off a 1 game loss - Coming off a Home loss as a Favorite; the home team (CGY) is 24-3-3 SU in this spot since 1996.

Philadelphia PK -200: Flyers just have too much talent up front for this Oilers team to stay in this game. When PHILADELPHIA Played as road team as a Favorite - During Last 5 Years - With 2 Under or Less; the Flyers are 14-4 SU in this spot the last 5 years.

Detroit PK +110: When their backs are up against the wall, the Red Wings will find a way to win. Great effort last night, they were down 2-0 to the Sharks and gutted out a 4-2 win. Plus, in Howard they trust and look for him to hold the fort down the stretch. When DETROIT team played as a Road team - Vs Pacific opponent - After a conference game - Coming off a 2 game Road stand; the Red Wings are 13-5 SU in this spot.

Ron’s NHL Hockey Predictions

I normally like to have at least 30% to 40% of underdogs with my selections, but today’s card looks like a good night for the favorites. However, parity is alive and well, so pick your spots and maybe parlay a few favorites together if you like the chalk as well.

Anaheim PK -105: Anderson is starting to sit lazy players, so look for the Thrashers to come out hard. Ducks are 4-1 SU vs. the Thrashers since ’96. When ANAHEIM played as any home/road team - During Last 3 Years - With 1 Over - Won Last Game by 1 Goals or More - With SU Record of 2 Win 1 Lost in L3G; the Ducks are 13-6 SU in this cycle.

LA Kings PK -115: The Kings are 4-1 in their last 5 games and a Toronto visit always pump the boys up who are from the area! When ANY NHL Team Played as Road team as a Favorite - Vs Non Conference Opponent - After a conference game - Coming off a 1 goal win - Coming off a 2 game winning streak; the Road Fave (LAK) are 12-4-2 SU in this spot.

Detroit PK -175: The Coyotes are not as consistent as they were in the first 3 months of the season and Detroit is getting healthy again. Only thing with Detroit, they should even out the first 3 lines, too stacked on the front line with Datsyk, Zetterberg and Bert! When DETROIT Played as home team as a Favorite - During Last 5 Years - With SU Record of 2 Win 5 Lost in L7G; the Red Wings are 13-3 SU in this spot.

Nashville PK -115: The Predators are you’re typical lunch bucket team and the Blue Jackets cannot be trusted with shaky goaltending vs. a hard working team. When NASHVILLE played as a Favorite - During Last 5 Years - With SU Record of 2 Win 3 Lost in L5G; the Preds are 40-19 SU.

Washington PK -160: My first instinct is to play the home dog Islanders, but the Caps are just too hot right now (9-1 L10)! When ANY NHL Team Played as Road team as a Favorite - Before a non conference game - During the month of January - Scored 4 or more goals FOR in their last game - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite; the Road Team (WAS) is 9-3-4 SU in this spot.

Montreal PK +100: The Habs are 2-0 since they released Laracque who was labeled a “distraction” by management and should Halak get the nod, he’s 4-0 vs. the Panthers. When FLORIDA team played as a home team - before a division game - With 2 day off; the Panthers are 3-13-1 SU in this spot.

Ottawa PK -110: Not sure why, but the way the Sens have been playing of late, don’t be surprise if they chase Brodeur tonight. When OTTAWA Played as home team as a Favorite - During Last 3 Years - Won Last Game by 1 Goals or Less; the Sens are 16-8 SU in this spot.

Chicago PK -220: The Hawks just lost 5-1 to the Canucks and must now regroup vs. the worst team in the league. Can you say “BLOWOUT”! When ANY NHL Team Played as Road team as a Favorite - With 2 days off - Total is 5.5 - Before a non division game - Coming off a Road loss as a Favorite; the Road Fave is 13-3-1 SU in this spot.
