5-hole.com Pick ‘em – Get Your Bling – 12/9/08
- The Detroit Red Wings got their Stanley Cup Rings on Sunday. Says Niklas Kronwall, “It’s huge, just huge. I’ve never seen anything like it.” (Ed. Note: that’s what she said). How long before one of these rings is on eBay?
Mats Sundin will be in town on poker related business and will attend the Rangers’ game against the Hurricanes this weekend. Will Slats pull a rabbit out of his hat? Probably not. The Rangers have zero cap room.
Picks coming up as soon as I finish up with Elisha…
#28 New York Islanders @ #11 Philadelphia Flyers
Eric – Philly – Islanders playing the second game of a back to back and the fans in Philly can be pretty intimidating.
Marc – Philly – Isles in the 2nd game of a b2b. *gimmie*
Rory – Philly – Only because they’re doing better in the standings. I hate them both. Picking a winner for this game is like deciding between drinking rancid milk or eating rancid beef. Either way, the outcome is terrible. *gimmie*
#7 Calgary Flames @ #5 Montreal Canadiens
Eric – Flames – Halak gets the nod and the Flames are red hot.
Marc – Flames – Flames are strong defensively and the Habs are starting Halak instead of Price.
Rory - Flames – No Habs No!
#8 Vancouver Canucks @ #15 Nashville Predators
Eric – Canucks - Preds just flew in from St. Louis. Canucks have been strong in the absence of Luongo. *gimmie*
Marc – Preds – I couldn’t decide so I went with the team not starting Curtis Sanford in goal.
Rory – Canucks – Jed Ortmeyer won’t answer my letters! Screw him!………….I love you Jed, don’t be mad at me!
#22 Los Angeles Kings @ #20 Colorado Avalanche
Eric – Avs – Flip a coin. I honestly have no clue.
Marc – Avs – Neither team has played well lately, but the Avs seem to enjoy a pretty good home-ice advantage.
Rory – Avs – Flipped a coin.
