    I don't get this line at all (FLA-TOR)
    Toronto ML at just -125.

    Are you kidding me?
    I have taken the bait all season though on logical plays like this...
    Toronto wins 66% of home games - FLA loses 75% of road games.
    I understand Tor is b2b, but it's not like they've played a ton of games in a short stretch.

    Am I going to get burned yet again?
    I locked it in at -133, but it's dropping. Does not make sense to me. I thought it would be at -160 before lines came out. What's the catch?

    currently these are 2 teams going in opposite directions... Florida is 6-4 and Toronto is 3-6-1... Toronto showed signs of life against Chicago the other day but the was short lived. Leafs are the leafs. This game is a toss up.

      Toronto is playing it's 5th game in 7 nights, their last 5 games have all been against elite NHL teams...BOS, LA, STL, CHI & PIT. I'm thinking they're going to be very fatigued tonight and it's a possible let down spot with it being Florida.

      The Panthers have been playing pretty good lately, they've won 5 of their last 6 games and are really working hard.

      I like to bet on the Leafers as they're my team but I'm definitely staying away from them tonight.

      BOL.

        Dang. My record of picking ML games may get even worse. I thought this was the POD...an easy winner.
        I thought Toronto was a different team at home. Well, game not over yet, so I will keep hope.
        Thanks Ser and jnsbanman!

          Perhaps I can hedge with FL (+1)? What do y'all think? Could be a toss-up game, so s/b close.

            Florida has been playing well lately. Offense is getting goals... Clemensen and Thomas have been consistent for a change... Leafs on a tough back to back with a rough loss to the vaunted Penguins. Panthers have a young stud in Huberdou that can score. Bjugstad playing well. Upshall. They come to play every game (lately). Panthers fan here so I've been watching. Usually,I have little hope for us but this year I did. After a terrible start I had that terrible feeling again that we'd suck. But, we are starting to look like something I might have expected. Still I'm cautiously optimistic.

            Panthers are definitely coming into this game with all sorts of confidence and the Leafs are not.

              No prob bud... you're right, game's not over but I agree with jnsbanman when he said the game's a toss up. Depends on which Leafs show up.

                        Think I've made up my mind to play FL +1 if it happens to drop to -160...to go along with TOR ML.

                            Just changed back my mind - no play on Panthers +1 unless line gets better.

                              Toronto is a shit team

                              They may actually be straight up worse than Florida. The underlying numbers all suggest this

                                Florida has won 5/6 only loss the Hawks.
                                Laffs can't say that.

                                  Reimer has given up at least 3 goals in 5 straight games. One of those was the sabres and 6 to the jackets, I think he may be going blind.
