One more reason to go with Detroit tonight:

Detroit is 8-1 after shutting out the opponent in the previous game this year.

The OVER is a tempting prospect in this game.

However this could largely depend on how the extra-curricular activities go tonight.

You'd look real bad as an individual player for some lame ROUGHING, HOOKING, HIGH-STICKING, SLASHING or (God forbid) TOO MANY MEN ON ICE infraction in as crucial a game as this one.

If you board some one you better make it a worthy cause.

DETROIT 10 U

thanks for shutting down this USELESS stat....if anyone goes by either of these two stats, they r going to lose

Well thats what wagering is about. Isn't it?

Every one rationalizes their picks in their heads.

Everyone thinks the stats speak to them and them alone.

Perhaps you want to count the no of plane-de-icing-caused-delays in road team arrivals (at the venue)...I'm sure some schlep has taken those into consideration to churn out some magical odds !!

My point is that all the stats in the world (no matter how seemingly relevant or irrelevant they look on paper) can determine the outcome all by themselves.

Its usually a cluster of things.
