PUCK 'EM PICKS - Tuesday 2/7/17

There were no picks the past two days since they were only three game slates, and JC decided against picking on Sunday and Monday.

The only game left on the board was Dallas @ Toronto

JC (203-146): Montreal (2nd), Columbus (3rd), Washington (5th), Los Angeles (7th), Ottawa (10th)

Adam (199-150): Pittsburgh (1st), Nashville (4th), San Jose (6th), Minnesota (8th), NY Rangers (9th)

The Tom Brady's of the NHL

With Tom Brady and the Patriots rallying from a 28-3 score in the second half to win Super Bowl LI 34-28 in Overtime, it got us thinking "If you needed one guy to lead you to victory when trailing, who would that guy be?" This is probably due the fact that the both of us grew up in NYC in the 1990's and are Rangers fans, but we both agreed Mark Messier would be that guy if we could pick from anyone all-time. Having a goalie that is capable of slamming the door shut with a lead was something we also pondered, and we both agreed it would be Martin Brodeur (NYC area influence strikes again) when you could pick anyone from any era. But when it came time to pick guys from the current stock of NHL'ers, our answers varied.

ADAM'S PICKS:

JC's PICKS:

-Guy to rally you from behind: Sidney Crosby
-Goalie to slam the door shut: Carey Price

This victory over Chicago in the 2017 Winter Classic at Busch Stadium  was likely the last fond memory Ken Hitchcock had in St. Louis.

PUCK 'EM PICKS - WEDNESDAY 2/1/17

It's the first day of February for our Puck 'Em segment, and the guys didn't close out January on a high note. Both guys went 3-4 on the 14 game slate, so Adam retained home ice (although JC gained a game on him in the upset picks). Only 3 games on the slate tonight, so Adam didn't have to pick, but he decided to roll the dice on Braden Holtby as the Caps take on the Bruins at home. Both teams are on a back-to-back with Washington losing to the Islanders in Brooklyn, and Boston beating Tampa Bay. JC took Los Angeles at home against the lowly Avalanche. Both of those teams are also on the back end of a B2B, as Colorado lost to Anaheim and the Kings beat the Coyotes. Minnesota @ Calgary went unpicked. 

JC (195-141): Los Angeles (2nd)

Adam (194-142): Washington (1st)
