NHL PICKS 10/18

Thats right. Lock City ain't just about football and baseball. Definitely about to crush some hockey spreads here, adding validity to the claim that I am an absolute degenerate. Do I know anything about hockey? Eh, a little. You could say I was one of top 5 in the country at Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey for N64. Remember that shit?

I was UNSTOPPABLE with the Sabres. Matthew Barnaby was absurd.

Anyway, last year I actually did surprisingly well whenever I did bet on hockey, lets keep the good fortune coming. The good thing is that unlike baseball or football, I keep my emotions out of betting hockey and stick mostly to betting trends and whatnot. Safe picks. Safety first when it comes to hockey.

1) Florida Panthers at Washington Capitals -1.5


First off, I've been following hockey (loosely) for about 34 years and I just learned that Florida has a hockey team. On the other hand, the Caps are absolutely disgusting year in and year out and quite frankly this is their year to drop the hammer on the rest of the league. They always go into the season as one of the favorites yet somehow find a way to throw the season away. But as of right now they are off to a FIRE start. 4-0 straight up and even better, 4-0 against the spread. Now, Florida is actually 3-1 ATS to start this season off so I think the smart pick would just be to take the Caps moneyline, which is currently at -230. If you lay the 1.5 goals, the odds are +140. Your call. Either way, Caps gotta be a lock here. Ovy is just dripping with swag, he ain't letting this one go down as a loss.

CAPITALS -1.5 (+144); ML -230










2) Dallas Stars -1.5 at Columbus Bluejackets




What the fuck is a bluejacket? No I'm serious. I get that a yellow jacket is a bumblebee. A green jacket is for the winner of the Masters. But what the fuck is a bluejacket? Based on the confusion of team name, gotta side with the Stars on this one. Like I said earlier, I don't just bet hockey on a whim. Gotta do some research here, and this is what my research has told me. Dallas is 4-1 ATS, Columbus is 0-5 ATS. Baaahahahahaha. This is going to be a fantastic winter. Is it always going to be this easy? I'd lay the points here, fuck moneyline.

DALLAS -1.5 (+250)








***Just googled bluejacket, turns out it was the name of some badass Indian chief or some shit. Thats actually pretty cool, I take back everything I said.***

Actually I take back that I take back everything I said. This dude looks like a pussy. Sweet nose-ring.
