Robert Ferringo's Picks For NHL Hockey
4-Units Take #60 Toronto (+1.20) over Boston (7pm, Saturday, March 23rd)
Trends guy's will hate this play with Boston winning eight straight games in this series, I hate trends so that means very little to me. Boston has definitely been the big brother in this series recently that includes two wins over theLeafs this year but Toronto played them tough in both games especially the game that was played at home losing 1-0. These two couldn't be any different as the Leafs can score but they're one of the worse teams in the league in defense while Boston plays tight defensively but doesn't score consistently and have only scored four goals in their last three games on this current road trip. Toronto is in the playoff race a shock to some out there but from listening to the Toronto players this game is a huge measuring stick for how far they have come. I think we will see a very energetic Toronto team tonight that might just be catching a Boston team that hasn't looked sharp lately and will be playing their fifth game in eight in the fifth different city over that span. I just don't the Bruins matching the intensity tonight and sometimes emotion is better then talent.
2-Unit Pick Take #53 Tampa Bay (+1.15) over Ottawa (2pm, Satiurday, March 23rd)
This two teams have one thing in common, both are suffering from injuries. The Senators are sitting in a playoff spot despite being one of the hardest hit teams in the league with injuries losing star players Jason Spezza , Erik Karlsson and goalie Graig Anderson plus some role players but have manage to keep it together and stay in the playoff picture. Tampa started the season hot and have fizzled and have recently but hit with injuries but I don't see this as a bad thing because the Lighting have called up young talent that are looking to play at this level. Ottawa is off a rough loss losing to Boston in a physical game at home on Thursday night. I like the fact that Tampa has hungry youth in their lineup right now, I know we will get a effort from this team. Ottawa has injuries players still playing which isn't good when your playing speed which exactly is what the Lighting have. Take the road team today.
2-Unit Pick take Over (5) Florida at New Jersey (7 pm, Saturday, March 23rd)
The NHL worst team the Florida Panthers will look to win three in a row at New Jersey tonight. I wouldn't say the Panthers are the worst team in the league, this team has lost some guy's to injury and have a lot of new faces in the lineup that are inexprience. Florida strength is more on the offensive end then in the defensive zone. The Panthers allow opponents high shot totals and Florida penalty kill is one of the worst in the NHL which isn't good going against a New Jersey power play that is heating up going 4 for 10 over their last 14 chances with the man advantage. I think this game will be played with offensive pace and this number falls short of that thinking. Go over
