Montreal/Sharks will not lose tonight.

back to back doesn't mean anything in sports to be honest..they r conditioned athletes at the top of there game

Of course B2B has an affect, they are not machines.
Nah in hockey its noticeable for sure, especially if the team has older players. Now Tampa is fairly young.

my main angle is the losing of Stamkos. Montreal also need to start winning some games at home.

Honestly I think montreal probably wins, but for the juice you will give up it's not worth it. Hockey is a team game, and tampa has been doing strong as a team. I believe that they will be looking for a win tonight big time to attempt to prove to themselves they can compete without stamkos.

Stamkos is overrated by the public. pinnacle only valued him at ~10 cents

Also, back to back has a huge impact in the NHL.

Historically ~65% winrate for the rested team.

These are simple, simple facts that if you don't know, then you shouldn't be betting NHL. But I guess thats why books make money

Montreal attack really sucks. Price only has 1 good game on two. If TB shut down the Eller/Gal/Gal line and stay out of the penalty box, they definatly can win this game. I'm more thinking of going for TB in reg (+240). MTL went only once in overtime I think. I think MTL win this one 60-65% of the time. Worth a shot for TB IMO.

Interesting angle. However I think Montreal is going to start producing in this game. Especially the first line with Gionta.

Salo and Aulie both injuried for Tampa in last game..

Haven't made my play yet, will go over more stats before the game. I'll post my play when I've made a decision. GL either way!

aznbluff · 11-12-13, 02:27 PM

Aulie sucks. Every NHL team has 4 defensemen in the minors that are about the same level as this level of player

Salo has been a good player but he's 40. There is not much of a dropoff nowadays from Salo to their #7

jontebond · 11-12-13, 02:43 PM

yeah but for sure it will disturb the team chemistry with changes to the lineup for sure.

nyplayer33 · 11-12-13, 03:46 PM

ibe spoken to many nhl players and they say back to back isnt a deciding factor

nyplayer33 · 11-12-13, 03:48 PM

another winning angle from an sbr poster....ill quit my job tomorrow

nyplayer33 · 11-12-13, 03:51 PM

your 65 percent figure doesnt take into effect some things...back to back is always an away team an therfore the back to back team is on the roadand is most likely an underdog to begin with

aznbluff · 11-12-13, 05:06 PM

Home teams are ~55% in the NHL, back to back is a big, big factor. One of the absolute biggest (numerically, it is the largest single factor). Even playing with/without Crosby is not as big of a factor game to game as a back to back is.

This is just the way things are. Like saying the sky is blue and grass is green.
