Thursday Night NHL LOCKS!

Detroit @ Pittsburgh

Pick: Red Wings +105

I gotta roll with Hockeytown on this one.  Pittsburgh is having a really weird season if you ask me. They seem to be struggling way too much for a team with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in the line up every night.  The weather reports in Pittsburgh aren’t good for tonight; A category 9 Larknado is coming thru and it ain’t gonna be pretty.

Washington @ NY Islanders

Pick: Capitals -125

The Caps are that super hot girl in high school who ends up with 3 kids from 3 different dudes and lives in the trailer park by age 25.  They got all the flash in the regular season. Everyone forgets that Ovi hasn’t even been past the second round of the playoffs in his entire career despite winning a Presidents’ Trophy and making the playoffs like every damn year. The regular season is like high school; it’s cool and if you do things right it can set you up real nice for real life but it doesn't matter.  Playoffs are what matter.  Anyways, the Caps will probably roll all over the Islanders tonight.

New York Rangers @ Toronto

Pick: Rangers -150

No reason to make this complicated.  Don’t be that guy.

San Jose @ Florida

Pick: Panthers +115

I don’t know why the Panthers are the dogz here but I like it.  Jagr and his boyz bout to fuck some shit up down in South Beach.

Winnipeg @ Tampa

Pick: Jets +135

I’m rolling with the Jets of Winnipeg for no real reason other than I think things aren’t good in Tampa.

Carolina @ Ottawa

Pick: Senators -120

I don’t think the Hurricanes have Phaneuf to stop the Sens tonight.

Boston @ Nashville

Pick: Predators -130

Dallas @ Arizona

Pick: Stars -150

Sugar's Sunday Slapass Picks

Chicago (+1.5) @ Pittsburgh (L)

2 elite level teams that should have a close scoring game. The +1.5 should give the Hawks the win if they don't win outright. Crosby's bitch ass will be crying all over the place, you can count on that. 

Rangers (-165) @ Edmonton (WINNER!)

Edmonton is pathetic. They're the shit that the garbage company doesn't even want. They're poorly coached and play unorganized shit hockey. The Rangers are going to come into the Oil City and go to work on these pussies. 

Washington (+1.5) @ Nashville (WINNER!)

Despite the fact that I hope Nashville wins this game and ruins Washington's chances at post season play, I think the Caps win. With Ovi and Backstrom up front and Halak in net, I don't see any way the Preds win. If the Caps lose the spread should still cover. 

NHL Picks

Sugar’s (drunk) NHL Picks 

The fuck you complainin’ about

Washington +167 @ Boston (WINNER!)

Boston is coming off a loss to Buffalo.. yeah the Sabers.  Ovi will be looking to snipe since he took pretty much all of the blame for Russia’s embarrassment in the Olympics.  As Jack Nicholson says “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH” .. truth is the caps are going to run the show against the boys in Boston.  Look out as Ovi and Backstrom go to work and defeat Boston. 

Sugar’s Pick: Washington +167

Florida @ Columbus (UNDER 5.5) (L)

Honestly, get your bets in now because this line could drop to OVER/UNDER 2.5 by tonight.  These teams are fucking terrible.  Look for the Panthers to “roll” against Columbus while both teams try to figure out what sport it is they are actually trying to play.  Florida averages 2.3 goals/game while Columbus averages a nice 2.8 goals/game.  Again, these teams are fucking terrible; I really can’t stress that enough here guys.

Sugar’s Pick: UNDER 5.5

Pittsburgh @ Chicago (-130) (WINNER!)

Two of the NHL’s best clubs meet in a potential Stanley Cup final match up.  The game is in Chicago so look for Chi town to roll over the Pens.  Chicago has much more “swag” with P. Kane and Toews on the ice than the Penguins could really ever even hope for.  Crosby and Co. are a bunch of pussies and will most likely fall victim to the assault that Toews’ team will ensue upon them.  I would like to add that Crosby is a little bitch.  Look for him to be complaining to the refs half the game while Toews and Kane snipe geno after geno on which ever goalie the Pens decide to start tomorrow night.

Sugar’s Pick: Chicago -130

UPSET PICKS

NY Rangers (+1.5) @ Philadelphia (L)

What this pick boils down to is my personal hatred of the Flyers.  They always think they have “the” team when in reality they ain’t got shit and never had shit.  In ’97 they thought they were going to roll through Detroit in the finals.  History will tell you they got beat; actually swept. New York has the better offense and better goaltending.  Look for Lunqvist to lock it down while the Rangers do work on the Flyers.  Philadelphia fucked up when they removed Peter Laviolette from behind the bench.  They won’t go anywhere in the playoffs and they sure as fuck won’t be beating the Rangers tonight.

Sugar’s Pick: Rangers +1.5

Tampa Bay (+115) @ Dallas (WINNER!)

I really hate the Dallas Stars; Sorry Modano.  The glory days are over for the Stars and Jamie Benn ain’t no fuckin’ captain.  Tampa has a solid team and they are going to head into Dallas and come away with a win.  It might be a 5 goal dismantling or it might be a 3-2 OT win; I don’t fuckin know.  But it’ll be a win, I can tell ya that.  Dallas loses this game that’s all I know for sure.

Sugar’s Pick: Tampa +115
