colorado a dog against minn? WTF

[crinkledaces]

Does anyone have a insight as to why minn which is 1-6-0 is favored over colorado which is 6-1-1. And Martin Havlat is questionable as well as Petr Sykora which are 2 of minn's bets right wingers. Im rallying all my fire power if someone knows something please tell me to hold my fire im might bet 15-20 units

Yeah idk..line seems weird to me as well. Maybe the books are still thinking it's the Av's of last year. However the wild are a decent team and picking up Havlat is certainly going to help them. But yeah I'm hammering at this line, Colorado +115. That's a big bet you're going to make there, I don't think you should. Maybe 10 units at MOST..these are the kind of games that can be bankroll busters, I was going to put like 20 units on ATL yesterday and I'm glad I didn't, since they choked against Montreal. Instead I just lost 5 units, no big deal. Haven't really researched this game that much, but I'll throw another 5 units on COL.

I think it has more to do with this being Colorado's 7th game straight on the road. It's not uncommon for a team on a long trip to mail it in for the last game. They needed a 3rd period comeback (3 goals in 9 minutes) and a shootout to take the win from the Wings in their last game after getting outplayed earlier in the game. Add to that, Minnesota is home again after their own 5 game roadtrip, where historically they're a much better team.

I think Colorado still wins, but it'll be close, and probably low scoring.

1 for 5 on the powerplay, MIN are a pretty pathetic team.

I saw their last game vs my Canucks and they were the least impressive team I've seen this year besides the Leafs. They had 8 shots through two periods

I've lost a lot on them this season (relative to my bet size). And the Leafs. Can't believe teams at the NHL level in a salary cap system can be as bad as they both are. At least it's become pretty clear which teams are the bottom 5 this year:

TOR
MIN
FLA
NYI
NSH
