Who do you like today?

I will do a daily recap of each days action. 10 units is the max I will count for any one game.

Also, I don't mind if you post parlays, teasers, or round robins, but these plays will not be reflected in the recaps.

Please list if Regulation or OT Included.

Grid is full tonight with 14 games.

10* minesota +1.5 -212
The juice is high on this one, but percentage is on our side, minesotta has lost only 3of 10 by more than one goal on the road and montreal has won only 3of9 at home by more than one goal. What makes this one interesting is the teams personel. GM Bob Gainey, coach Guy Carboneau and assistant coach Kirk Muller VS GM Doug Risebrough coach Jacque Lemaire and assistant coach Mario Tremblay on the minessota side. All played for the Canadiens in the pass. These guys will pump their players a little bit more than usual and will make it a thight game.
10* buffalo -0.5 -140
I see this game as a revenge game (4-1 loss vs toronto on 4/11) for buffalo.
5* san-jose -0.5 -161
Another revenge game (4-2 loss @ LA on 13/11). Tsokala (10-2) will be in nets for SJ tonight and after being shut down last night they will score a couple tonight.
5* detroit -0.5 -135
This will be a tight one, but Detroit (6-1-0-1) at home will come back to basics to end a two game losing streak.
5* colorado +114 ot inc
colorado has golie issues but after being benched last three games theodore will be back in nets tonight for colorado, and i expect a good game out of him. anahein gave it all it had vs SJ last night and will have a couple of tired legs in the third period.
3* florida -0.5 -135
After losing 7-2 to bufallo TB will play alot better vs florida but wont be enogh. The home team has won the last 6 between them.
2* phoenix +1.5 -190
phoenix plays good hockey at home and can suprise n-j tonight.
1* chicago +1.5 -115
chicago has covered the +1.5 pucks their last 7games and are playing alot better since khabibulin (15-2 lifetime vs calgary)is back.

*-evey game is regulation unless specified

game added

5* boston +118 ot inc.
crosby is out of tonights game with strained groin muscle. Crosby missed 1 game last year and pitsburgh lost 7-2 to ottawa. Pens will be lost on the ice without their main man tonight. Considering that Boston has won last 7 meetings vs the pens and boston playing very well of late (won4of5) this will be a good investment.

I saw the mtl-min game and the refs were awfull tonight. I was talking about personnel on my game review, well an assistant coach for minesotta (ramsey) was ejected off the ice by the ref near the end of the game for abusive language. First time i see someone else besides a player escorted off the ice in NHL. Well mtl scored an empty netter with 23sec left to loss one off my 10* bet. Also Vancouver scored 2 times in a span of 3 min in the 3rd to screw me.
