    Lets talk Kings/Sharks

    5dimes currently has the series priced at -140, from -150 when I checked last night.


    • Sharks swept through round 1/Kings lost the first 2 before winning 4 straight
    • Season series was split 2-2 with the home team winning all 4 games
    • 2 games with a total of 5 goals, and 2 games with a total of 7 goals
    • Sharks have 3 more days of rest than the Kings. How does that come in to play? Too much rest or good for them?


    Sure i'm a Kings homer, but it seems like the Kings found their groove after game 2 of the first round. I'm not surprised the Canucks were swept so not too impressed with that series win for the Sharks. Give me some non-homer input my dudes. GL

    Can't give a non homer point of view but do believe home ice a big advantage here

    I think these two have been the best two home teams this season, so it could be a real homer battle and seems likely it'll go the limit of 7 games, or at least to 6 games. Teams that have had first round sweeps since the lockout are 2-5 in the 2nd round, so I'll go with the Kings and home-ice advantage.

    I believe Sharkies defense is better than Kings.

    My sources indicate Sharkies should be priced no higher than +125

    Based on head to head this year I'd say not.

    kings 13 goals

    sharks 11

    both teams great at home but mediocre on road.

    Ill take the Kings series again. Kings should be good for game 1 too as I think SJ will be a little rusty.

    Some strange lines for the player props in this game.

    Brown over 2.5 shots for even $$??? He's usually set at 3 minimum.
    Thornton is usually 1.5, but line is currently 2.5. I like the under there.
    Might even go for Couture over 2.5. Kid is in beast mode.

    Though there should be no reason for pros to not benefit from having extra rest, somehow the 'rust' always seems to add weight and slow 'em down 'til they get back in the groove. With that, plus odds are will be a low scoring game with superb goaltending, and expecting a conservative start to this important Series opener ... am using the Jose PL @ -240.

    Why is Brown not shooting? +15.9 corsi this playoffs and not being used defensively.

    Yeah when he is on I agree. Just drives me crazy when he goes so far out of the net.

    Game 3 tonight. If Kings take this I think a sweep is inevitable. Tonight is the tough one in my opinion. Whats the play guys?

    nice pic riff but the shark tank is so hard to get a win in. I dont like to bet a team thats going against my series bet but seeing how we got away with one in the last game its hard not to like the sharks here. I think theyre pissed as fukk and the Kings might get a little lazy on the road like their last series. not sure what im playing... already pissed I missed out on the Wings today that fukkin game started so damm early.

    Dude I got lucky missing the wings. Ended up taking them after the first at +335. GL on whatever you play tonight.

    I'm taking the kings for 3 reasons. Get ready for honesty.

    1. I'm drinking at my girlfriends bar and I'm a homer.
    2. Everyone is liking the sharks. Simply because it makes sense right?
    3. Why go against the hot team?

    Go kings

    Yeah I just took Kings small for fun since I was out drinkin with some friends. Not bummed about it, i had a good time until that finish. I'll likely pass on the game 4 and go big on 5.
