The Results Are (finally) In

I am a few days late in updating this blog, but that is okay because I have a valid excuse. It is the Holiday season and I spent the past couple days enjoying the company of friends and family. But let me take a few steps back and evaluate how my picks ended up from a few days ago.

Let's talk about the wins first. I called for a 3-2 Bruins win against Atlanta. Double the score for each team and I nailed it. Bruins won 6-4 in a scrappy game. The Islanders managed the Leafs at home 3-1. The Pens handled the Sens 8-2 - staying true to my prediction that the Penguins would entertain the home crowd. The Hurricanes continue to struggle, losing to the Canadiens 5-1. Dallas took care of Columbus by the same score at home, staying on top of their division. The only other win came in the NY Rangers - Panthers game in which the Rangers ended their six game home losing streak in a 4-1 victory. In all, that leaves me with six wins on the night.

That means I end the night with a .500 record (6-6). Perhaps the most surprising and also impressive result of the night came out of Phoenix, in which the Coyotes and Ilya Bryzgalov shutout the Ducks in a 4 bagel victory. The 'Wings passed along the torch in the Central Division to the upstart 'Hawks in a 3-0 loss...at home.

Well, that is all for now. My record stands at 36-26. Tonight's games will be interesting, and my predictions will likely come soon.
