Took a day off after the Wild debacle earlier in the week that pushed me back to .500. Set to move onward & upward.
Blues/Wild OVER 5 (-145)
Barely got this line at 5 obviously with the juice, but think that makes it all the better for no worse than a push. Wild have been scoring like crazy lately. 22 goals in their last 5. PP unit has 8 goals in their last two games alone. STL is off a 4-2 win and is 8 of 11 on OVERs on the road this season. Mason vs. Backstrom tonight. Mason beat the Wild 2-1 just over two weeks ago, but that was before Minny found their groove thing on offense. Mason has had lapses on the road, 4 starts with 4 goals or more. Backstrom just got pounded for 6 by Colorado. If this doesn't get to 5, I'm out of the game till Christmas. This I GUARANTEE!
I thought about the over here but I know Jacques Lemaire wasn't too happy about that last game. He is going to have his team play D tonight. The over is a good call but too risky for me.
