Thanks to everyone for their patience during the last little bit, with Scott at his new job and trying to adjust to that, and I was away for work all last week.
We may have to make some adjustments to the days we handle but we’ll just keep going as it is for this season, and then look into that next season.
We’re about a month away from the playoffs – however Scott and I usually stop doing betting tips a little bit before that. When we get to the point where most teams are in the playoffs, and results just stop making any real sense. So we’ll see how it goes.
A nice two game schedule to ease me back into it after a couple weeks off – and even then it was post Olympic break, so I feel like I haven’t did this since pre-Olympics. Happy to have a lot of data to go with now.
Nice to ease myself in with two games;
Islanders vs Kings
Neither team really rocking in on a hot streak are they? Fuck the Islanders, of course. They are favourites here. CF% the same, FF% slight advantage Kings. GF all the way to the Islanders, Kingx better xGF% but man they have been so leaky lately.
Like if they want to make the playoffs they need to be winning but they just aren’t getting it going. It’s a pity as I’d like to back the Kings here honestly – but they haven’t really been getting that new coach boost either. And their offence isn’t creating enough. So yeah no play.
Blues vs Oilers
I mean with two teams on a B2B I likely won’t be picking this but man my gut wants to take the Blues. Although they only have like a 3% chance to make the playoffs ha – they have been an in-form team lately.
By the metrics, it’s not even remotely a play at all. Only thing Blues really have going for them is goaltending, Not one I can advise – the metrics are so against it plus Ingram in net which I guess is better?
