        split yesterday, with Dallas losing 2-1 score in an "old school" style game at home to a Columbus team that has a great previous record against them

        Tuesday Nov.13

        NY ISLANDERS -1.5 +165 puckline // 4.20 units to win 6.93

        NY ISLANDERS -0.5 -105 regulation win // 4.20 units to win 4


        big play on the home team, catching Vancouver on a back-to-back at the end over their road trip

          WASHINGTON +128 ML // 1.50 units to win 1.92

          Want to go bigger on this pick, the only problem is Washington is starting the inexperienced Phoenix Copley in net. Other signs though point to the Capitals winning. RW Tom Wilson should be playing in his first game back off his (reduced) 14-game suspension.

            OVERTIME +300 TOR@LAK // 2 units to win 6

            I know said since last year that shouldn't play the Overtime prop, but this year I've played it twice going 1-1 W/L. Really think this game is a prime candidate for OT.


            Still checking for possible picks on the last two California games....

                3-2 W/L yesterday with the big play on the Islanders hitting, good for +8.85 units overall profit on the night

                Wednesday Nov.14

                UNDER 6 +110 WSH@WPG // 1.20 units to win 1.32

                OVER 6 +102 BOS@COL // 2.50 units to win 2.55



                I'm still trying to decide if Vegas is worth playing as a heavy home favorite tonight in the late game....

                  2-0 last night for +3.87 units. Keep it rolling tonight I've got two games keyed-in and playing them the same way.

                  Thursday Nov.15

                  ARIZONA +138 regulation only ML // 1 unit to win 1.38
                  *push if game goes to Overtime

                  ARIZONA +130 ML // 2.50 units to win 3.80
                  *includes Overtime

                  ARIZONA -1.5 +335 alternative puckline // 1 unit to win 3.35

                  OVERTIME +325 NSH@ARIZ // 1 unit to win 3.25

                  ------------

                  SAN JOSE -0.5 +110 regulation win // 1.20 units to win 1.32

                  SAN JOSE -1.5 +200 puckline // 1.50 units to win 3.00

                  OVERTIME +338 TOR@SJ // 1 unit to win 3.38


                  so, in both games, I like the home teams quite a bit. Taking the Overtime prop as a type of insurance. Obviously if the visiting teams win in regulation, I'm taking a haircut tonight.

                    2-4 W/L yesterday with the 2 versions of the Arizona moneylines being the only winners. However the loss wasn't too bad, just -1.07 units overall on the night. I probably played those games wrong by adding the Overtime insurance, but I really did think both had probability of Overtime...and they both could have the way the games ended.

                    There was an error showing:
                    ARIZONA +130 ML // 2.50 units to win 3.80
                    *includes Overtime

                    which should have read 2.50 units to win 3.25
                    I will list that correctly when I do my weekly tally. Was calculating the possible outcomes and put the wrong number there in haste.


                    Friday Nov.16

                    LA KINGS +140 ML // 5 units to win 7

                    This might appear to be a crazy pick as bad as the Kings have played, and I will honestly say I'm not super confident with it... as a max 5-unit play it should exhibit high confidence. But I think the game is a complete coin flip 50-50, and at +140 odds is why I'm throwing the max at it. Reasons:

                    CHI played 7 games since 10/31, with 5 of those on the road, during which time the scored only 11 goals total vs. allowed 24 goals

                    LAK played 6 games since 11/3, all at home, scored 12 goals vs. allowed 16 goals (of which 5 of those came on Nov.1 vs. PHI)

                    LW Carl Hagelin first game for LAK since being traded from PITT (for Tanner Pearson)


                    LAK is statistically the better team in several categories

                    A bit of a wildcard is the Kings should be starting rookie goalie Calvin Peterson on the road, vs. Corey Crawford starting at home for Chicago. But Petersen did see action on Nov.13 when he came in about halfway thru the game against Toronto on Nov.13, in which he made 15 of 16 saves, allowing just 1 power play goal to the mighty Maple Leafs.

                    Chicago is -155 in this game why?? because at home? both teams stink. Take the Kings for the upset at big +plus odds.

                                      You really dig to find some outrageous bets. Wish you the best.

                                        ^^hey it won.... I know what you mean though, sometimes I get too granular. Been trying to fix that part of my game. Played a couple too many last night, going about even money as a result.

                                            won that Philly puckline with a late wave of scoring by them in a home shutout effort against the Rangers

                                            I've looked closely at the 4pm eastern time starts and don't love any game. Since I'm trying to improve my leaks, gonna look at the later schedule today / and for tomorrow and try to put that winning unit to good use (instead of wishful thinking).

                                                  feel stupid after making my little speech post yesterday, then proceeded to go 0-3

                                                  Today I like a bunch of leans, but gonna limit myself to a big play on a game that lines up the best.

                                                    Will update my record shortly, lost the last 4 picks and been fighting it with myself.

                                                    Tuesday Nov.27

                                                    PHILADELPHIA -0.5 -150 regulation win // 4.50 units to win 3

                                                    SAN JOSE -0.5 +115 regulation win // 1 unit to win 1.15


                                                    The bigger play on Philly is based on several factors. They fired the GM, and in the press conference, they cited a reason for the decision was wanting to do a better job of "winning now". So the players were certainly given that message also for motivation. Besides, the home game tonight is against the worst team in the league, Ottawa, who comes in after playing last night. Senators played 13 games in November, while Philly has only played 11 games with tonight being theur last one this month. The standard moneyline has the Flyers -220, so the discount for the regulation win of -150 looks good to me. I'd like to think Flyers win by multiple goals, but my final call is just asking for them to get it done in regulation.

                                                      i worry its the same for the Sens with their player shit talking about the coach. They all need to play better so as not to make the rest of the league just assume they suck lol

                                                      this game was a toss up to me

                                                        two losses again 0-2 last night. Not sure if calling the Philadelphia loss a "bad beat" is accurate, but they did lead that game 3-1 after two periods, and found a way to lose giving up 3 unanswered in the third period to the league's worst team, who were on a road back-to-back. I'm a little bitter. Also, you should watch the game highlights on the game winning goal making it 4-3 by Matt Duchene of the Senators, batted a puck out of the air and it perfectly went over the goalie's shoulder...that wasn't the goal that affected my regulation time wager, but a combination of skill and luck involved in that particular goal.

                                                                If Tampa doesn't win in regulation time, that will make Two more losing picks tonight to extend losing streak to 0-10 since my last win. I don't know what I'm looking at that's not working. Will have to tally up the record but believe it brings me back to zero profit on the season, so about 27 units down to get there.

                                                                Need to readjust. Should have taken a break sooner when the losing started.

That is the worry for this pick, but still believe this is the right side. Hurricanes also are healthy on defensemen, while the Kings have a couple of forwards still on the injured list, Kovalchuk, Hagelin and Trevor Lewis.
