these lines are tough

I was interested in taking the Russia game and it was -4.5.... Does anyone find these lines a little high... I know both Canada and Russia covered but that is alot of goals for me.... What do you guys think???

Take a look at the starting goalies in my opinion.. I am more likely to take a team with an NHLer starting in net.

Also, take a look at all the lines. You can breakdown the lines 1 by 1 (i.e. Canada's first line vs Norway's 1st, Canada's 2nd vs Norway's 2nd, etc.). I think this will help you with figuring out how many goals to expect for a differential.

I was a little skeptical about taking Canada at -7 but it paid off. But I would have taken Russia at -7 (just because I believe the Russian team is the strongest in the tournament).

Used to the NHL. The Olympic lines are suprising at first, but if you watch how the games turn out, they fit.

Russia may have an edge in offensive talent but Canada is much stronger defensively... A game between Russia and Canada would definitely be a close call.

the commies -4.5 yesterday was easy money. be careful next few days, as the books will have seen everyone play and the lines will be adjusted accordingly.
