Since you lost the first bet Mr. Green what do you think of under 5.5 in the Colorado vs LA game, looks pretty good to me.

Jive · 03-22-10, 09:32 PM

Liking the under in the Avs/Kings game, myself.

lolguy999 · 03-22-10, 09:45 PM

omg sens blanked the habs??

Collegepays · 03-22-10, 11:48 PM

I was with you on that Kings under but we're about to get our hearts broken in the last couple minutes

Jive · 03-22-10, 11:55 PM

Yep, brokenhearted! I think I've lost 4 games on goals in the last 30 seconds this week. WTF is going on out there?

pickle69 · 03-23-10, 03:08 PM

Definitely. I've had a few unders busted in the last minute as well this last week

Late season heroics to grind out those extra points I guess.

Nashville has been on a roll and are money at home and have covered the PL in both home meetings vs the Stars this year. That one looks pretty solid. I like the Sens to win tonight, not sure about the PL just because of the back to back situation and their extended slump before winning yesterday but the Flyers have looked pretty bad their last 5 games. Leafs have been playing well so that PL has a shot too.

Do you like Edmonton tonight?

Not to win straight up but I think they have a shot to cover the +1.5 (-140)

DennisGreen · 03-23-10, 04:16 PM

Tuesday of Terror

BOS vs ATL (+105) Pinnacle $100 to win $105
Just when it appeared the Thrashers had given up on their season they have reeled off 4 straight wins vs playoff teams and sit only one point back of their opponent tonight for the 8th seed in the East. Although Boston has had ATL's number over the years the Thrashers are playing great and should be fired up tonight to take over that 8th seed. When Savard went down for the Bruins I told myself that it would be the beginning of the end of their season and I still believe they will narrowly miss the playoffs. Rask will go against Hedberg and both goalies have been solid. I like the Thrashers as home dogs tonight.

CBJ vs NJ Under 5.5 (-135) Pinnacle $135 to win $100
I really think this one has all the makings of a 2-1, 3-1 type of game. Brodeur has been rounding into playoff form going 3-1 in his last 4 with a 1.50 GAA and a .947% SP during that stretch. Mason goes for the Jackets and although he has been hot and cold all year I still feel is a top 10 goalie and is capable of keeping the Jackets close in this one. The Devils usually play a pretty tight game at home and should keep the Jackets in check pretty well tonight.

PHI vs OTT (-114) Pinnacle $114 to win $100
The Sens finally bumped their slump with an impressive 2-0 win in Montreal last night and the Flyers are in the midst of a slump of their own having lost 4 of their last 5. If that wasn't bad enough their offensive leader Jeff Carter was lost for a month as well. Boucher has struggled for the Flyers and this looks like a total mismatch on paper with Boucher going against Elliot for the Sens. I am surprised at this low number as the Sens have been great at home this season but I guess we can chalk that up to their recent slump and the back to back situation. These teams are separated by just 2 points so this one is big for both of them.

DAL vs NAS -1.5 (+194) Pinnacle $100 to win $194
The Predators come in on a roll and they have the hottest goalie in the NHL right now in Pekka Rinne. Rinne is 6-0 in his last 6 starts with a ridiculous 3 shutouts and a godly 1.16 GAA and .958% SP. Lehtonen will go for the Stars and he has been hot and cold in his limited starts this year. The Stars do not play well on the road usually and Nashville is hot at home going 7-2-1 in their last 10. The Stars are essentially playing their remaining games out while the Preds jockey for position in the playoff picture. The two meetings between the two this year in Nashville have resulted in the Predators covering the PL.

SJ vs MIN Over 5.5 (-108) Pinnacle $108 to win $100
The over is 2-0 in the 2 meetings this season and 4-0 in the last 4. 4 of the Sharks last 5 road games have gone over and 4 of the Wild's last 5 home games have gone over. Nabokov and Harding will be the goalies and Nabokov has struggled badly his last 6 giving up at least 3 goals in each of his starts. Harding has been inconsistent and the Sharks got 5 by him in an earlier meeting this season.

Yeah I'm thinking the same... seems about time to fade the home team unfortunately. Thanks

looch10 · 03-23-10, 04:43 PM

Damn those bastards at goaliepost had Harding as FIRM. That sucks a bit but the Sharks got 4 on him earlier and he hopefully will be rusty

AzNDooM · 03-23-10, 05:12 PM

Im banking on Sharks heavy on this game of a score of 3-1. Ive got them on ML and glad to see you and I are on the same side backing this game. I cant see SJS to drop the ball on this, then again this is the NHL and MIN at home is tough.

Gokhan · 03-23-10, 05:25 PM

LOL thanks for the respect. It's far from a lock but with Boucher and without Carter I think the Sens should prevail on home ice.

CapitalGains · 03-23-10, 07:16 PM

dg, did you consider taking the under in MTL vs FLA?

-giguere has the highest gaa since the olympic break

I know man it looked like an under. That's the way it goes sometimes.

AzNDooM · 03-23-10, 07:47 PM

DG, your looking to be 0-2 with the ATL/BOS game pending. =((

Thanks for reminding me

Not looking like a great night so far. I have the ATL/BOS game marked as a loss in my spreadsheet already and did the same when it was 4-1 Jersey. Need the other plays to step up.

AzNDooM · 03-23-10, 07:54 PM

Sorry haha... i tailed all of your picks at 0.5U. I was on BOS but figured your more proven then I am on NHL. I know nothing about O/U's. But yeah... all good. I just hope the 2nd half turns around (i mean 2nd half of your games).

LOL never doubt your gut even when "proven" cappers are on the opposite, that's one thing I learned. O/U's can be pretty volatile sometimes in the NHL. I've gone through my fair share of ups and downs this year but overall came out on top. Hopefully we can hit these last 3 games and have a profitable night

LOL I saw all the same stats as you when I did my research but it always is nice when others are on board with you. Makes you feel better about your pick
