    Proof that They-Ought-To-Win Games Suck!!

    I bet on Boston big time and that schlep Bryzgalov played a sentry between the pipes....

    this is exactly why those games we all (well most of us anyway) expect to go a certain way - those They-Ought-To-Win-The-Next-Game-Coz-They-Lost-The-Last-Few - games suck big time.

    Not because I (and quite a few others) lost.

    Because betting on them with that logic in your head (unless you win every time you pick such a streak-reversal game) is sure to end up in a face plant, atleast once in a while.

    That logic ( which is guided by sentiment as opposed to stats ) lures in those instances and then makes one look like an amateur at wagering.

    I want to listen if anyone here has a way to trump such decision making.

    MAN.....whats with S.J. and DALLAS .....they fell like a pack of cards.....

    two very similar FREE-FALL LOSSES....

    The power plays they handed to L.A. were just ridiculous though.

    Having the sharks over and dallas over was no brainer for me... Sharks had boucher in net, and wild, look at their past games scoring high, and you know sharks can score, but they are no good without nabokov, the line for me was over 5.0. so i picked over. Dallas and kings come on, kings have been scoring alot of points again look at the last few games of both of these teams to get an idea.

    For tonight

    here are my picks

    Calgary over 5.5. -130
    tampa bay over 5.5. Even

    Boucher probably came into the game with jittery legs having received stiff instruction in the team meeting that the game heavily relied on him.

    Nothing explains the way he fumbled in the hail-mary goal by Zidlicky.
