Tommy Gold's NHL 2009/2010 2009.12.23 Picks

Florida Panthers @ New York Rangers

This matchup will be the last game for both teams before Christmas pause. Panthers will play the last game in this 3 game roadtrip. Probably their thinkings will be more concentrated to end the game to go home than to win the game. Rangers will play at home after 3 road games.

Florida have been a team quite good. They just can be unpredictable, because their will to win is always the same and they give their best all the time. When they face easy teams or teams that make the wrong approach to the game, they win. If they are improving their offense game after game, their defense is going in the reverse way.

Rangers is the kind of team that we have to treat as kids. If they are without the mood, they just clap their feats and doesn't even try to win the game. And they had it for many games, and after so long, the rehab seems more difficult. However, in their last roadtrip, they won all the 3 games in regular time! For a team with the talent that Rangers got, with good players and one of the best players in NHL, this can be the trigger to return to good and consistence performances.

I believe that Rangers will make their best to end well before Christmas. They already returned home, and will play at home. Florida will have to still one more day, after 2 road games, far from home. They are better than Rangers in only one thinking, the way they approach the games. However, today, Rangers will probably make their best, and having a better roster, will be difficult to Panthers. Without a good defense and facing a great goaltender, it's unlikely to Panthers stay even close. Rangers are improving a lot particularly in their defense, as they offense can be hot if they wish so.


Pick: New York Rangers PL -1.5 +180 (2.80) Bookmaker



Buffalo Sabres @ Washington Capitals

This matchup is a perfect spot for a revenge game. More or less 15 days ago, Capitals went to Buffalo and leave the city with a loss, but more important, leave the city without any scored goal for the first time this season! One of those days that there is nothing to do. Capitals controlled the game, had more shots, but lost.

Sabres are marking a remarkable season so far. This team has been solid, cohesive, and reliable again. They start the season in the same way, but have passed for a troubled period, but are being again a reliable team. The question is: how long will they keep it? After went to OT in their last 2 games, and lost 2 in last 4 games, the team is starting to showing again some inconsistence. Their franchise player is doubtful for today.

Capitals are a true contenders, and are going through a good period after a weak start. In their last game, they went to So to win that game, and the 2 times that happened this season at home, they won by 2 or more the next home game. This team is incredible strong and balanced, having great player, but i have to highlight Ovechkin, who is probably the best NHL player right now.

In Washington is hard to see a team that have some weak points and lack of confidence taking a victory. Most important, it's hard to imagine Capitals, giving any space to bread to Sabres, has they want revenge from the last game in Buffalo, and when Capitals wants something, it's unlike to contradict them.
