This is a new daily feature here on 5-hole.com. Everyday, Marc, Rory, and I will each pick which teams we think will win that day. Each of us will consider one of our picks to be a “gimmie” meaning that there is no way that we will get that pick wrong. At the end of the season, the writer with the most correct picks wins! In the event of a tie, the percentage of gimmies correctly chosen will break the tie. Pretty straight forward right?
And don’t forget to vote early and vote often for the New York Rangers for the All Star Game. Or, just write a program that votes thousands of times for you!
On to the picks! (Rankings are for the entire league).
