NHL Playoff Picks from Ron Raymond

April 20, 2009

Hi Friends,

Now, that I’m able to write, but still hampered with my cast which is schedule to be removed on Friday, I will have a more active blog and encourage you to leave a message or comment. As for the first round of the series, everything seems as plan in Round 1, but I’m dissapointed in the Blue Jackets inability to score on the road in their first 2 games and the no shows in San Jose. Bob Gainey cannot switch Kovalev from line to line, but I did like the fact he was playing him on the first line and the 4th line. Here’s my picks for Monday, April 20th.

Boston – Montreal; UNDER 5.5 -130 (5* BEST BET)

Keys to selection: The venue shifts to the Bell Centre in Montreal and the Canadiens are looking forward to having the home crowd behind them this evening. Carey Price is not the reason why the Canadiens are down 2-0 in this series, Montreal is being outcoached and Bob Gainey doesn’t have a clue where to put Kovalev. Players need to find a comfort level and rhythm with their line mates and not knowing who your line mate is on the next shift, is horrible for a player. Plus, Montreal seems to have some hidden tricks up their sleeves and one has to wonder if Markov or even Robert Lang will surprisingly show up in the line up. Playing Montreal is a risk at this point of the year, but the UNDER is 4-0-0 when they are a home underdog this season. Carey Price plays very well at the Bell Centre, he’s 13-4 SU at home this season and the UNDER is 4-1-0 for Montreal in their last 5 home games. On the other hand, Boston is 3-7 SU in their last 10 trips to Montreal and without Lucic in the line up, will give the Montreal defenseman some breathing room, as he’s been getting in their heads with his thunderous body checks. Play the UNDER 5.5 -130.

NYR +110 vs. Washington (2* TOP PLAY)

Keys to selection: The Washington Capitals look like a fish out of water in Game #1 and #2, while Bruce Boudreau is being outcoached by John Tortorella. Furthermore, the Caps have yet to figure out Henrik Lundqvist and the Caps are 2-8 SU in their last 10 trips to MSG. Great value on the Rangers!

Chicago +120 vs. Calgary (FREE PICK)

Keys to selection: The Calgary Flames have lost 6 straight games to the Chicago Black Hawks and Nikolai Khabibulin is 22-5-2 vs. the Flames in his career and 15-3 SU at the Saddledome. Therefore, to say he’s been in the Flames head would be an understatement. Chicago has been the better team in this series, as they’ve been playing more discipline and goaltending has been their strength. No doubt, the first 10 minutes in this game tonight will be crucial for the Flames if they intend to sneak back into this series. If the Hawks can withstand the heat in the first 10 minutes and keep the Flames off the scoreboard, they win this game in my opinion. Take the Value and bet on the better team in Chicago who’s riding the hotter goalie.

Ron Raymond’s NHL Hockey Picks – March13th 2009

March 13, 2009

Columbus vs. Chicago

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Tough spot for the Blue Jackets, as they are coming off a shootout win last night over the Penguins, travelled overnight to the Windy city and must now face a well rested Hawks team. Plus, this is a big division game and the Jackets haven’t done well on the road vs. division teams, as they are 1-6 SU this season. As of this write up, there’s no line on this game, but once the bookmaker releases the line, let’s go with a Law of Average play on the Hawks. Furthermore, according to my online sources, it appears Wade Dubielewicz is favored to get the nod between the pipes. Dubie is a solid back up goalie, but the team in front of him might collapse in the later part of the game.
Prediction: Chicago 4 Columbus 3

LA Kings vs. Vancouver

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: The Canuck are having a good month of March and are currently 7-3 SU in their last 10 games and when you look at their last 2 loses, they’ve been by 1 goal. Vancouver is in the game right up to the end of late and that’s all you can ask for when betting on a team, just give you a shot till the last whistle. However, to lay down -230 is not my way of betting, so maybe parlay it with the Hawks OVER. When LOS ANGELES team played as Road team as a Underdog – Vs Non Division Opponent – Coming off vs. Northwest division opponent – Coming off a 1 goal win; the Kings are 1-9-2 SU in this situation since 1998.
Prediction: Vancouver 4 LA Kings 2

Ron Raymond delivered two big NHL UNDERDOGS on Thursday, as he gave out the St.Louis Blues +125 over the San Jose Sharks and he gave out a free pick on the New York Islanders +220 over the over priced Montreal Canadiens to the members and visitors of hockyepicks.com. Anybody could bet Boston -260 over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, but you need confidence and reliable sports betting information to pull the trigger on the Blues and Islanders vs. two quality opponents. Ron Raymond is a 4-Time National Handicapping Champion and he’s going to help you win money in the long run. Everybody wants to hit that one time home run and pack it in, but Ron tells his clients to chip away, one single at a time! Are you ready to learn how to be a better sports wager? If so, get a 1 month membership and get more winning NHL underdogs like yesterday!

Ron Raymond’s NHL HOCKEY PICKS – MARCH 10TH 2009

March 10, 2009

Boston vs. Columbus

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: The Bruins have lost a bit of their zip they had at the beginning of the season and Mason has been outstanding at home. Furthermore, the Blue Jackets are 9-2 SU as a home underdog this season. When COLUMBUS team played as a home team – Last 5 years – Coming off 3 overs; the OVER is 7-3-0 for the Blue Jackets in this spot L5Y.

Prediction: Columbus 4 Boston 2

Calgary vs. New Jersey

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Both teams are coming embarrassing loses to non-playoff competing teams, but the Devils losing 7-3 to the Islanders will not sit well with Sutter. In fact, look for Brodeur to rebound in hall of fame fashion this evening. When NEW JERSEY team Played as Home team as a Favorite – Vs Western conference opponent – Scored 3 goals FOR in their last game – Coming off vs. Atlantic division opponent; The Devils are 9-2 SU in this role since 1997.
Prediction: New Jersey 3 Calgary 0

Buffalo vs. Philadelphia

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: The last 7 games between these two clubs in Philly has seen the over go a perfect 7-0 and with these 2 goalies this evening, I don’t see why they can’t make it 8-0-0! When PHILADELPHIA team played as Home team as a Favorite – Before a non division game – Coming off vs. Central division opponent; the Flyers are 14-3-4 SU in this situation since 1997.
Prediction: Philadelphia 6 Buffalo 4

Florida vs. Pittsburgh

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Normally I would be giving the Pens the nod in this spot, but they are coming off a huge upset special win over the Caps on Sunday and the Panthers have the defense to shutdown the Penguins top guns. When ANY NHL Team played as a Road team – playing on Tuesday – During the month of March – Before a conference game – Coming off a Home win as a Favorite; the Road Team (FLORIDA) is 10-5-2 SU in this spot since ‘97.
Prediction: Florida 3 Pittsburgh 2

Phoenix vs. Detroit

NHL picks Versus
Ron's hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Detroit seems to play better with Conklin between the pipes and the Coyotes are still a young team who’ve been having finding the twain of late. When DETROIT team played as Home team as a Favorite – With 2 days off – Coming off a 1 game loss; the Red Wings are 16-3-3 SU in this situation.
Prediction: Detroit 5 Phoenix 1

NY Islanders vs. Toronto

NHL handicapper Ron Raymond Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Bit of a Law of Average play here on the Leafs as they lost a close one in Ottawa last night. Plus, the Islanders are coming off a huge win over the Devils, so this is a classic letdown spot here for Gordon’s boys. When ANY NHL Team Played as Home team as a Favorite – Before a non division game – Last 4 years – Coming off a Road loss as a Underdog – Playing in back to back games; the Home Fave (TORONTO) is 14-2 SU in this role the L4Y.
Prediction: Toronto 5 NY Islanders 2

Edmonton vs. Montreal

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Tough game to handicap, the Habs fired their coach yesterday, so there’s some new energy in the room, but the Oilers are fighting for playoff ranking. Nevertheless, I’m siding with the Canadiens, as they are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games at home overall and 8-2 vs. Northwest division foes at the Bell Centre. When ANY NHL Team Played as Home team as a Favorite – Total is 5.5 – Last 4 years – With 1 day off – Coming off vs Pacific division opponent – Coming off a 2 goal win – Coming off a 1 game win; The Home Fave (MTL) is 11-4 SU in this situation the L4Y.
Prediction: Montreal 3 Edmonton 2

Washington vs. Nashville

Ron Raymond's NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: The Caps have hit a wall and can’t find the net, as they are averaging 2.0 Goals For in their last 3 games and 2.4 goals for in their last 5. When WASHINGTON team played as a Road team – During the month of March – Coming off vs. Eastern Conference opponent – Coming off a 1 goal loss – Scored 3 or less goals FOR in their last game; The Capitals are 1-9 SU in this role.
Prediction: Nashville 3 Washington 2

San Jose vs. Minnesota

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: The Wild are coming off a 6 game western road trip, playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and I’m hoping they come out sluggish in the 3rd period this evening vs. a hungry Sharks team. When SAN JOSE team Played as Road team as a Favorite – Total is 5.0 – Coming off vs. Northwest division opponent; the Sharks are 12-3 SU in this spot.
Prediction: San Jose 4 Minnesota 2

Dallas vs. St.Louis

Sports Handicapper Ron Raymond Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: I’ve come to the conclusion Steven Ott is killing the Stars on getting to the next level. First they got rid of Avery, now Dave Tippet has to deal with Ott’s antics. To be honest, I don’t buy into the “you hate to play against him, but love to have him on your team” motto; that’s bullshit! This guy is a wrecking ball for the Stars and the quicker they move him off the team, the better the Stars will be as a team now that they have Steve Begin. Plus, then the Stars quality players can concentrate on playing hockey again. In fact, I’m pretty sure his teammates are going to get fed up sticking up and getting involved in stupid retaliatory scrums because Ott is looking to take peoples head off, instead of concentrating on playing hockey. As for tonight, same crap different pile for Dallas. Plus, when ST LOUIS team played as a home team – Before a conference game – Coming off a 2 game Road stand; the Blues are 17-6-1 SU in this spot.
Prediction: St.Louis 4 Dallas 2

Atlanta vs. Colorado

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Lehtonen is giving his team a chance to win every game and that’s all you can ask for from your goaltender. When ATLANTA team Played as Road team as a Underdog – playing on Tuesday – Last 4 years – Allowed 2 or less goals AGAINST in their last game; The Thrashers are 8-4 SU in this underdog role the L4Y.
Prediction: Atlanta 5 Colorado 3

Ron Raymond’s NHL Hockey Predictions and Analysis – March 9th 2009

March 9, 2009

NY Rangers vs. Carolina

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: The Rangers and Canes are two teams with confidence and don’t be surprised if this game goes to either OT or a shoot out. Cam Ward has been money the last few weeks and Tortorella has given the Rangers a whole new edge and look! Canes are coming off a big 9-3 win over Tampa Bay and the Rangers are coming off an NBC Game of the Week win over Boston. When it’s all said and done; the two goalies will be the first and second star of this game and the third star will be the player who nets the winner. My lean goes to the Canes, as the Rangers are 1-6 SU in their last 7 road games. When CAROLINA team played as a home team – Last 4 years – During the month of March; The Hurricanes are 15-5 SU at home the last 4 seasons in this spot.

Prediction: Carolina 2 NY Rangers 1

Toronto vs. Ottawa

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Both teams are out of the playoff picture, but it’s still the “Battle of Ontario” and emotions are always high in these games. Ottawa has bought into the new coaches system and the Leafs are playing hard to keep their job under the new regime in Leaf land. Gerber gets a shot at his old club, but the way Ottawa is playing right now, it won’t be enough for Toronto to skate with the new energized Senators. Toronto looked flat Saturday night vs. the Oilers and the Sens new motto is to jump out early and attack right off the drop of the puck. When OTTAWA team Played as Home team as a Favorite – Last 5 years – With 1 day off – Coming off a Home win as a Favorite – Coming off a 2 game winning streak; the Sens are 10-3 SU in this role the L5Y.

*80% CLUB STAT; When ANY NHL Team Played as Home team as a Favorite – Vs Eastern conference opponent – After a division game – Total is 6.0 – Coming off a 2 game winning streak – Coming off a Home win as a Favorite; The Home Fave (OTTAWA) is 14-5-1 SU in this system since 1996.

Prediction: Ottawa 5 Toronto 3

Vancouver vs. LA Kings

NHL picks Versus
hockey picks
Ron’s Comment: Vancouver is on a major role, winning 12 of their last 14 games; only two other NHL teams have 10 or more wins in their last 14 games and that’s New Jersey and the Penguins. My only concern is the letdown factor for Vancouver, as they are coming off a huge win over San Jose, but LA is coming off a big home win over Minny, so it balances out. When VANCOUVER team played as a Road team – Total is 5.5 – Coming off vs. Western Conference opponent – Coming off a 4 game Home stand; the Canucks are 7-3 SU in this spot.

Prediction: Vancouver 3 LA Kings 2
