Randy’s Pick

Are we sure the San Jose Sharks are an NHL team? The Sharks can’t score and can’t play defense, and their power play defense is an even bigger joke. The Philadelphia Flyers have their issues as well, but they’ve at least run into a win here and there, and they have far more life offensively. The Sharks are winless through 11 tries. I can’t get behind the Sharks in any shape or form. Give me the Flyers and the PL for max betting value.
