What's the Wild play tonight?

[odog11]

I know there are often(this year more than ever) strange results when a game seems to mean much more to one team than the other, but I can't see the Wild having too much trouble tonight. They are 3 and 0 vs the Oil this year with 3-1, 4-2 and 5-3 scores outshouting them badly in the last two.

No Nugent-Hopkins and looks like no Whitney and Hemsky also out. Oilers also have Khabibulin in net tonight, so saving the better goalie for season finale at home vs in-province rival Vancouver tomorrow.

It is "in if you win" for the Wild with the chance to still do that tomorrow if they happen to lose tonight. Wild also of three days since big win over the Kings Monday while Oil are playing 4th in 6 having been drubbed in the 1st 3.

ML is juiced up to -215 which leaves a couple other more attractive plays IMO.

Wild in regulation at -130

Wild over 2.5 at -155.

I don't get the Wild lines today either. Agree with what Nino was saying on the other thread. This morning I put the Wild in an acc at:

Minnesota v Edmonton|Minnesota Wild| @ 8/11


Then 3 hours later the line moves to:

Minnesota v Edmonton|Minnesota Wild| @ 4/9

Seriously WTF?

[tombuckers]

Same thing happened with the Blues line yesterday. Going to start putting bets on very early before the lines move. Probably could have got Wild in reg at +100 at 2.00 GMT now only -140?

Rubbish!

[leafs_ducks]

Sox is also juice at -270. Wtf

Wild in regulation now at -145 at 5Dimes. Already played it at -125 at Betus and they still have it at that #. Not a very respected book, but have not had any problem with payouts.

Wild should win but I'm worried for them tonight for some reason

They've been choking a bit lately and Backstrom has been having meltdowns.

I hear you, Backstom's struggles are what have me looking at the over 2.5. They will be playing hard and can't see a depleted Oil shutting them down. -125 seemed like too much value on the regulation so I booked that instead of the TT. Minny can shut teams down and would not be shocked with a 2-0 or 2-1 here.

Yup for sure the Oilers haven't been scoring much at all lately. Wild should be able to clamp down pretty good on them tonight and limit them to under 20 shots on goal.

3 shots 2 goals for the Oilers

Had a bad vibe about this one. Backstrom = Luongo 2.0

[tombuckers]

Oilers 3-0 making me sad haha.

Hopefully Wild can somehow could back to win it, but I doubt it. GL All.

[eXon]

Wild goalies came prepared tonight lol, Jesus Christ this is the worst thing I've see so far this season, GO Avs tomorrow!

[zizoudane10]

Backstrom = Luongo 2.0

So true

[mart59a]

I would recommend the Oilers...but I think I'm too late.

[pronk]

6-0 gangnam style

[Kindred]

rigged

[DennisGreen]

I'll be on the Avs for at least a unit tomorrow. Wild are rattled and are gonna choke away the playoffs. Their goalies can't handle the pressure.

[Vegas39]

Go Columbus

Yep, that was brutal, should have trusted my instinct not to trust Backstrom.
