    Winter Classic: Thoughts??

    You guys think this game is an over play?? Depending on the weather of course.

    Hope it's nothing like that 2-1 clunker when Pitty played Buffalo.

    "Delay of game: Puck over Green Monster" penalties are gonna pile up. Lots of power plays, bet the over

    probs not impt but the visitors have won all 3 winter classics so far.... scores have been 4-3, 2-1 and 6-4. Philly is hot on the road right now and I doubt this game will have any home advantage as there will be many neutral fans and being outdoors will have more stimulating effects than the noise the crowd will make. Another factor to consider will be the country of origin of many of the players. Obviously any Canadian players will have grown up on outdoor rinks where I doubt this is as popular in Europe (could be wrong) but I would think it's more of a Canadian thing and obviously an everyday activity for Canadian boys. I just looked at the rosters and both sides are majority Canadian/North American. Boston has 3 Czechs and a German while Philly only has 2 Finns.

    I think playing the O/U might be the most valuable play. Obviously the ice won't be as good and the visibility from a goalie's perspective is different as there isn't the usual background. A goalie may feel uncomfortable on a different type of ice and since conditions could be wet this will impact as well.

    With all this talk I think I'll take Philly at +125 and the Over at +114.

    YOU ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE..... THE O/U IS NOT AN OPTION!
    NHL SAYS IF WEATHER IS BAD THEY WILL CALL THE GAME AFTER 40min!
    HOW CAN YOU BET THE OVER WITH THAT ON THE TABLE?
    BOS ML IF ANY PLAY AT ALL.

    dear god please don't post when you don't know what you're talking about. Books have rules and in 99% of books at least 55 minutes of a game must be played or else all full-game wagers are returned. So before you start spitting nonsense you gotta learn the rules.

    All of the morons like you who don't know what they're talking about are pounding the under and the over just keeps on rising higher and higher. I will definitely make a nice sized play before game time on the over. Learn the rules buddy.

    and one last point if you think the refs will stop it after 40 minutes.... this game will bring in the most revenue from an nhl game (minus the playoffs) and if the refs end it after 40 it will screw up nbc's commerial rotation... you think the refs won't be talked to beforehand? Christ buddy, your ignorance is pitiful.

    uh, his 4 teamer last night that paid 10x the wager says otherwise

    speaking of cant pick his ass: the flyers were +110 last out vs the rangers. does 6-0 ring a bell? plus the fact that last time in beantown(2.5 weeks ago) the broad st. bullies were +125 and well, we all know how that one ended, right?....nuff said.

    should we check out the 4-1 vs the bruins in their last 5 meetings? how about the 5-1 vs boston in b-ville?(granted this isnt exactly a home game for the bruins and a lot of other factors will figure into this game)

    im hoping for a flyers victory but praying for asham to knock lucics block off. i see his ankles still in question so i wont get my hopes up. a cote/thorton tilt would be nice. very doubtful but we can always hope the fightless winter classic comes to an end.

    *everyone now: "Lets Go Flyers!"

    flyers should be the side....its not always about the athletes and ability. especially in two mob towns like this and such a high profile game. they're not tho- bruins today. wouldnt be suprised if they even covered the 1.5

    great game so far. i guess its boring if you dont have a horse in the race

    celebrating a "no goals in the first" pay-off that covered my wagers on the game. nice when that happens

    i shouldve know it'd be carcillo going with thorton. i doubt cote even dressed.

    great game? man paint drying is more exciting than that. back and forth with nothing much going on. pity the poor fans who dished out big bucks. oh well.. in the end i guess they can say they were there.

    thornton quit after he got that last shot. carcillo scared the shit out of him.

    I agree. Lots of money and work put in to make this game happen, and I couldn't watch past half way through the 2nd. Talk about boredom...

    It reminds me of pre season hockey.

    obviously you have no $ laid out and its not "your" team playing. whole different story if it were....

    with that late goal by the bruins i see them winning in OT. and i could live with that....good game so far.

    i'm such an idiot for thinking this game wouldn't have been fixed.

    and im not one of those guys who says that when they lose. i think every big stage NHL game is fixed. all-star game, last year's finals, now this. it's bullshit, just to create american interest

    man if this game was to be fixxed it would have been like the wings/hawks game last year...high scoring.

    40 thousand people paying good money to see crap like that. i couldn't watch the whole game..pathetic. they had the wrong teams this time.
