My two cents on Hawks / Blues

[sedwards86]

Oddsmakers seem down on Hawks since losing to Avs and Jets consecutively last week. Hawks +110 is generous for anyone who likes Chicago. I figured they would be at even odds or perhaps -105. And Blues at -115/-120, not -130 like they are.
To me, this game is a tossup. Chicago is 0-2 in the WC games they've played. This is the Blues first WC game. Should be a good one. I'm betting the dog.

I've been eyeing this game for a while now and I'm on the same track as you. The fact that it's an early outdoor game adds a different dynamic and I agree it's pretty much a toss up = value on the dog, and that's notable because I rarely like dogs in NHL. Will probably join you on this one, GL.

Also, four of Blue's last five losses have come by two or more goals, especially their most recent game, a 4-0 stinker vs the Preds. Hawks -1.5 +285 is tempting me, but I doubt I move on it.
