There's only one place to get Adam Meyer's NHL Picks during the playoffs, the hottest picks on ice, and that's at www.adamwins.com. Hockey is the one sport where the combination of match-ups and history play a huge role in the outcome of a game. Rarely if ever, does a game come down to a single player.
You might think that a Brodeur or Ovechkin can turn the tide, but more often than not, it will come down to match-ups, coaching and fresh legs. Hockey is a grueling sport, hence the line-changes every few minutes. It is also perhaps the most emotionally charged game in pro sports, and the team that can keep that in check will have the edge.
There is so much chatter and hype preceding the NHL Playoffs, so it is vital to avoid getting caught up in it. Will the Blackhawks repeat? Will Ovechkin finally get it done or the Caps? If you are going to bet on the games, I suggest that you stay away from ESPN and VS. They are in the entertainment business. I am in the winning business.
They are handed a script, I am handed two hundred pages of hard data... per game. Twenty years in a row for the Red Wings in the playoffs. Vancouver has Luongo. It doesn't mean a thing. There are so many factors to think about. Who has age on their side? Unlike the NFL, where the final teams get a couple of weeks to recover from a sixteen-game schedule, hockey gives their playoff teams a few days after an 82 game schedule.
And here's one you never think about, soft ice. If a team knows they are slower than their competitors, they just might have the ice prepared a little softer before the game, no different that wetting down the infield or grading the baselines to the inside for the faster teams
in MLB. And then there is The Cup. No trophy n professional sports is more revered. It is the only prize that goes on a national tour.
Just look at the language... you lift a trophy... you raise a trophy you pick up a trophy... but.... you hoist The Cup. It carries that much weight. So here's the bottom line, I have made a futures play on the Stanley Cup. But between now and then, there are dozens of plays, both sides and totals that you should know about.
