NHL Picks - 12-12-07

Record last night: 0-2
Record this month: 6-10
Record this season: 44-44

Last night in the NHL:

• Both of my picks lost in a shootout. Blech.
• Ben Eager still won't fight Georges Laraque.

There are seven games tonight, and I'm not going to let the recent picking struggles hold me back. Onward with the losing! (or not losing, hopefully)

Boston at Atlanta - The Bruins are due for a letdown, because Auld just isn't that good. Atlanta is bound to be ticked after losing the Washington. Go Thrashers.

Los Angeles at Chicago - The Hawks have been struggling. They've lost four in a row. The Kings are the perfect antidote. Go Blackhawks.
