Saturday Games - Pick 6 Take it to the Bank?

Yes, I'm a hockey poolie.  No, you won't see much on here about my pools.  Maybe just a Friday post, because everyone needs to brag or rant about selfish things.  I'm in 2 player pools and 2 pick game winner pools.

There is one pool that has my emotional investment more than the others, The "Pick 6" Pool where you have to pick the winners of 6 games on Saturday and if you do, you win.  If no one picks 6 winners the pot rolls over to next week.  The first week was a carry over, the 2nd week (2 weeks of money) was split between 11 people, and the next 2 weeks after that have been carried over.  This weeks pot is 3 weeks worth of entry fees (over $1000 in the pot).  Needless to say, Saturday is going to be interesting.  I'm not going to bother posting all my for the Weekend Pool but I will post my 6 winners for Saturday and reasoning.

Pittsburgh over Buffalo: Buffalo is playing on back to back nights and just suck, this is an easy pick.
Tampa Bay over Columbus: Columbus is struggling and are also playing on back to back nights.
Philadelphia over Colorado: The Flyers are playing well right now, the Avs are not. The Avs defense is just horrendous and the Voracek/Giroux line will light them up.
New York Islanders over Arizona: The Islanders are a good team this year, and the Coyotes have really struggled out of the gate and are playing on back to back nights.

Note: I'm pretty confident in the 4 picks above.  The 2 picks below... not so much.

St Louis over Nashville: The Blues have found their game after dealing injuries and illness to start the season. Plus they have the human highlight real in Tarasenk... OMG!!!!
Washington over Carolina: Both teams are on playing back to back nights.  I'm not feeling 100% on this pick but I feel Washington is just a flat out better team despite Holtby being a seive.

Here's hoping I'm yelling "Fuck Ya" after the Islanders beat the Coyotes to clinch my Pick 6 pool.
