* Pre-Skate *
I feel like I've been waiting for this game forever. At least my Philadelphia Flyers visit the Dallas Stars on Saturday. I'm pumped, amped, and ready to get drunk. I wish I felt the same about the Philadelphia Flyers. They come into this game hobbling pretty badly. They barely beat the Florida Panthers within the week. They lost in a shootout to the Thrashers on Thursday. That was a game I felt they needed to win to shake off the blown overtime loss they suffered against Atlanta within a week. Instead, they lost in a shootout (even though they actually tied the game with less than a minute or two on the clock). There's even Chris Pronger being lost for two to three weeks. All of that said, I'm a little anxious to see if the Flyers plan on showing up. I'll make the best of it though. The Flyers don't always make it down to Dallas, so this is a huge game for me. As you might imagine, I'm purposefully being a homer and going with the Flyers to beat Dallas. In reality, this should be a very good game. I'd probably take Dallas with how they've been handling good teams lately. We'll see!
* Results *
Pretty interesting night. The Hurricanes barely beat the Islanders 3-2 in overtime. The Devils lose their second game in a row to the Capitals. The Canadiens receive a pretty big whipping courtesy of the Rangers. The Coyotes upset the hot Canucks. Not a bad a night for hockey. I finished even for the night at 2-2. Here are the results for Friday.
3/18/2011 - Friday
Islanders at Hurricanes : Pick - Hurricanes : Result -- 3-2 Hurricanes : Correct (OT/W) : 157-114
Capitals at Devils : Pick - Capitals : Result -- 3-0 Capitals : Correct : 158-114
Canadiens at Rangers : Pick - Canadiens : Result -- 6-3 Rangers : Wrong : 158-115
Coyotes at Canucks : Pick - Canucks : Result -- 3-1 Coyotes : Wrong : 158-116
=Dumbest Pick of the Night=
Canadiens at Rangers : I underestimated the Rangers a bit. They are a capable enough team. I just thought the Canadiens would take care of business which they failed to do very badly. The Rangers handed down a nice beating of the Canadiens with a 6-3 victory. That team sure can score.
=Hardest Pick of the Night=
Coyotes at Canucks : I went with the Canucks only based on the fact that they are hotter as of lately and are the best team in the Western Conference. It makes it hard to respect that dominance when teams like Phoenix can easily play up to the same level as the Canucks when they choose. Difficult game. I lost.
=Easiest Pick of the Night=
None. I don't think any pick deserved to be here. I actually had second thoughts on the Islanders and Hurricanes so they don't get to go here.
* Picks *
It's late and I don't have much to say. There are games tonight. The games I would watch tonight would be the Flyers at Stars and Wings at Preds. All the others are a little mediocre. Enjoy anyway. I know I will be as I'm watching the Flyers live in Dallas.

Thrashers at Sabres ==> Thrashers
Lightning at Senators ==> Senators
