    BennyMac's NHL Thread

    Hey guys. New to the forum and thought I would give posting a try this year. I have had the most success with NHL in the past. I pick a lot of dogs, so while my win percentage isn't as high as some, playing dogs and small favorites over the course of a season as you all know can be quite profitable.

    I am a huge Hawks fan, and while I don't think they will be quite as good as last year, they will still be a contender in the West. That being said, this team is gonna have VERY inflated lines, especially early on. There are gonna be some good spots to fade the champions.

    Best of luck to everyone this year!! Looks like this forum has a lot of good people that really enjoy the game. Only 1 more day!

    I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the lines that came out for the opener. I was really hoping Colorado would be +125 or higher.

    October 7th, 2010

    Minnesota Wild - 120

    Niklas Backstrom had a down year last year, and I believe a new season as well as starting the first game of the year in your hometown will give him extra motivation here. Backstrom also played in Helsinki in his early playing days, and he will no doubt be a fan favorite. The Wild will be a better offensive team this year (can't get much worse). A young Carolina team on the other hand make take a little time to gel. Minnesota will take one of these games across the pond.

    Good luck everyone!

    Thanks D3. Tried sending another message to you but it still won't work. Might be on my end, I still have to get a little more used to using this site. I'll play around with it this afternoon. I'd be happy to help you out with any questions you might have.

    October 7th, 2010 continued...

    0-1 so far losing the first game of the year. Sloppy first game. Both teams looked extremely uninterested and undisciplined at times (Cam Barker). Don't know how he was the 3rd overall pick. Cam Ward looked good. Moving on.

    Philadelphia Flyers +150

    Montreal Canadiens +135


    Could very well go an unhealthy 0-3 the first day of the year, however I think there is some value in these dogs tonight. At the very worst I'm hoping for a 1-1 split to get a little profit back. Both these teams are tough, gritty teams that find a way to win. Even though they are playing teams that are out to prove something this year, both of these teams were in the playoffs last season and I don't think they are pushovers this year by any means. Could be digging myself an early hole (as I probably will), but throughout the course of a LONG season it always proves profitable to play solid underdog teams.

    Best of luck to everyone

    Split on the late games winning with the bigger dog for a profit of 50 dollhairs. Best thing about today is that there is more puck to be played tomorrow!!!

    October 8th, 2010

     Minnesota Wild - 107

    Buffalo Sabres +120

    Will stick with my prediction that Minnesota takes one of these games in Helsinki. They really only played poor yesterday in the 2nd period, and today I think they will clean up some of the penalties. They need to be more physical to win. Locking in Buffalo now because I expect the line to keep dropping.

    Best of luck!

    Thankfully 3 out of the 4 Minnesota penalties were offsetting. They certainly are playing a more physical game though. Hopefully they can push one or two across in the last 20 minutes.

    Would have been a gift if they won. Was extremely lucky they killed that 5 on 3 and then ANOTHER penalty towards the end of the period. It's too bad they got a point.




    0-1 on the day, with 2 dogs pending. Same story as last night...

    Not off to a good start.

    Phoenix Coyotes +108

    Columbus Blue Jackets +149

    New York Rangers +129

    Ottawa Senators +140

    Anaheim Ducks +140

    Detroit Redwings +133


    Short on time today. Don't see why any of these teams can't win.

    Best of luck everyone!

    Colorado is a huge dog tomorrow. +190 is way too high, whether they are playing in Detroit on the road or not. Will watch the line tomorrow morning. Anyone else like the Avs tomorrow?

    Good job today and looks like your off to a good start to the season. I do agree +190 is really high for Avs but as a dedicated Wings fan(homer alert) I would not bet against them just yet. I watched there first 2 games and they are playing great right off the bat. They have no injuries at all and Howard had an opening night SO. They have looked better than any other team I have watched in this opening few days of action. There could be a chance Avalanche call on Budaj too since it is a B2B. GL whatever you chose.

    Decided I'm gonna lay low today. Don't want to force any place I'm not too crazy about. Thanks Hotwings for your input. Minnesota cost me as well Aussie, they had a horrible trip over there. Looks like they owe both of us!

    Good luck today everyone

    Not crazy about today's card. Locking this one in early.

    Nashville Predators +170

    The Hawks should probably win this one at home after losing against Detroit, however they are playing just average right now. Nashville should have some fire tonight after being ousted by the Hawks in the first round last year. Strictly a value play.

    The Islanders at +270 is just ludacris. The Capitals have to put a complete game together right? I'll be watching the lines on the games this afternoon, maybe something will jump out later in the day.

    Good luck gamblers

    Well I got pretty lucky on tonights game. Another big dog cashing in. Caught a lucky penalty at the end of the game, much to this Hawks fan's dismay. 10-4 on the last 14 plays, all of them dogs.
