[pimike]

Good to see you on the winning path again with your frozen pond picks. I threw you some points for the Pho win. Nice work!

Thanks.

I may not have any play tonight. Still looking at some things.

[POD Squad]

Hey mike check out these picks for me..and could you please tell me wat u think about it?

Analysis ON DEC/1/2009 NHL Games:

Tor @ Mtl: (UN- 5.5)
The Canadiens try to bounce back Tuesday night at Bell Centre and notch a fourth straight victory over the Maple Leafs, who will be looking for offense after being shut out for the first time. Hoping for any offense against a goalie who has been super hot in recent days is unlike to happen when Toronto faces Carey Price tomorrow. Its going to be another defensive game from both of the teams, looking for an under 5.5 Total.

CLB @ CHI: (H, OV - 5.5)
Chicago tries to continue its dominance at the United Center, where it's 10-2-1 and hasn't lost since a 3-2 defeat to Vancouver on Oct. 21. Returning home could help the Blackhawks bounce back after being outscored 5-1 in losses to Anaheim and Los Angeles after totaling 20 goals over their previous four games. Cristobal Heut is likely to back in net after losing his last two starts. He's 12-5-2 with a 2.12 goals-against average this season and 3-2-1 with a 2.61 GAA versus Columbus.The Blackhawks could have even more incentive to win Tuesday as coach Joel Quenneville again tries for his 500th career coaching victory.
Columbus (13-9-4) snapped a season-high five-game losing streak with a 5-2 home win over St. Louis on Monday. R.J. Umberger recorded his second career hat trick and added an assist. After making 27 saves against the Blues on Monday, Steve Mason could be back in net. He's 9-6-4 with a 3.38 GAA this season and 2-1-1 with a 2.16 GAA in his career versus Chicago. Backup Mathieu Garon is 4-3-0 with a 3.03 GAA this season and 6-3-0 with a 2.85 GAA all-time against the Blackhawks.
I'm Liking the Black hawks here and Over - 5.5

OTT @ SJ: UN- 5.5
Ottawa goalie is Brian Elliott have been playing very good with a GAA 2.59, but the team has been giving at least more than 2 goals, but SJ is a team who scored 9 goals in there last 2 games therefore this game I see both teams working on there defense and try to keep a low scoring game. Plus I can see SJ's goalie, Evgeni Nabokov putting a shutout against Ottawa. I am liking the Under - 5.5

LA @ ANA: H, UN - 5.5
The Kings went 3-2-1 against the Ducks (10-11-4) last season, but have dropped six of seven (1-4-2) at Anaheim.
The Ducks have been playing well at Honda Center, going 4-1-1 during a seven-game homestand. That is part of a 7-2-1 stretch as hosts after they lost five of their first six. Anaheim, though, is looking to rebound from Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Phoenix as Jim Vandemeer scored 1:18 into the extra session. Despite the defeat, the Ducks were feeling positive after left wing Bobby Ryan helped them salvage a point by scoring with 1:54 to play in regulation.

ANA's Goalie Jonas Hiller is posting a GAA of 3.02 and LA's Goalie Jonathan Quick is sitting at 2.65 GAA.
ANA team has given 7 goals in last 4 games and LA team has given 11 goals in last 4 games.
Therefore I see the home team taking this one and the game to stay Under (5.5)

Blue Jackets + money

Pod your write-up looks a lot like what I read on ESPN. If you used some of the wording form there please make sure you give espn credit as well.

Thanks for the info however.

[teddanioni]

Is that your pick Mike? CLS moneyline? Mind telling us why? Just interested in your thoughts. Thanks once again man!

[HolyMackeral]

Ah, Mike, you're a heart-breaker, man!

As I emailed, you're forcing a Chicago man who loves the Hawks to think about going against his beloved team against the BlueJackets after a back-to-back game for Columbus?!

Evil man, pure evil.

[pimike]

Don't play it then. I know your coach is begging for win 500 tonight. I also know Your team is getting to cocky. lol

[man3645]

I see good value in this play, thanks for pointing it out mike

[HolyMackeral]

Don't play it then. I know your coach is begging for win 500 tonight. I also know Your team is getting to cocky. lol

Haha. I do see the value and I knew it'd come down to this one day. But, I'll remain cocky about my cocky Blackhawks. And might just watch to enjoy!

[al_g]

Thanks mike, in mike we trust!

[sportsfan2009]

stick with the blackhawks the money line it should be a easy win

[sportsfan2009]

nice write up

[Fairthorne66]

money's in the over in this game....Garon vs. Huet...Chicago hasn't scored more than 1 goal in their last 3 games...won 7 in a row at home....it should be close, but the smart play is the over

[pimike]

Haha. I do see the value and I knew it'd come down to this one day. But, I'll remain cocky about my cocky Blackhawks. And might just watch to enjoy!

I didn't mean you! The articles I have been reading and players are talking about the Stanely Cup already. Your team is thinking about the Cup before they even get to the playoffs.

[HolyMackeral]

Hey, give us a break -- hockey was DEAD in this town a few years ago and we've had the biggest turn-around in team success AND fan support/popularity maybe in the history of sports!

(I read articles too about the Stanley Cup and 500 wins, but I think Joel Quenneville will keep his players focused -- and an experienced veteran like Hossa will reign in the younger guys. Then again, hell, BE cocky and relaxed and do it).

I know, I know, this isn't a Hawks thread. GL to all tonight and I'll be looking for other picks later. I'm liking Montreal, Hawks -- stupid parlay? I have to stop those.

[mavfd57]

I'm tailing ya today Mike. Thanks for the play!

[krazey47409]
