    Slapshot's Nhl Selections

    3-1 lastnight

    So far I'm leaning towards these 2 picks today:

    I like Colorado -125 (24-14-1-5) to get it done tonight at Carolina (11-24-3-4). Colorado are 12-1-1 in the last 14 meetings between the two, and 5-1-1 in the last 7 meetings in Carolina.
    Carolina might keep it close but I like the Avalanche to get the win.

    My second pick I'm leaning towards is the under 6 -125 for Toronto/Buffalo. The under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings and 6-2 in the last 8 in Buffalo. Last meeting was 12/21/09 where Buffalo notched the winning goal in overtime winning 3-2 in Toronto.

    Colorado is at -120 now at Bodog.. I wonder why the line is dropping .. I think this is a strong pick. I was going to go with another team but I think I may double my bet near gametime...

    Colorado is playing their backup goalie (Budaj). Probably reason for the line dropping, but no reason to pull your bet. Sharp money on the Avs.

    I agree that the goalie shouldn't alter your bet in any way.

    Budaj is 4-3-0-1 with a 2.22GAA himself so it's not that big of a deal for me that he is starting. Still a better GAA compared to the Canes goalies Legace and Ward even though he's played hlaf as many games as Ward.

    I'm gonna make both bets that I liked earlier.

    Colorado -120
    Toronto/Buffalo Under 6 -125

    If I decide to take anything else I'll post within the hour.

    Good luck boys!

    Colorado -120 LOSS 2-1
    Toronto/Buffalo Under 6 -125 WIN 3-2

    14 penalties in the 1st period of the Canes game, 9 of them on the Canes and the Avs couldn't capitalize. 20 penalties in total and the game ended 2-1.

    Early leans for today so far:

    NYR/BOS U 5 -105
    - Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Boston and 7-1 in the last 8.

    PITTS/TOR O 6 -135
    -Over is 12-3-1 in the last 16 meetings and 7-0-1 in the last 8 in Toronto.

    NJ -140
    - NJ are 29-9-3 in the last 41 meetings and are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Montreal. They have also won the last 5 straight against Montreal.

    TAMPA/PHILI 0 5.5 -125
    - Over is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings in Philadelphia and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

    CAL/VAN 0 5 -140
    - Over is 6-1-2 in the last 9 meetings in Vancouver and is 13-4-4 in the last 21 meetings. The last 5 meetings have hit 5 goals or more in all of them.


    These are my leans so far. Feel free to comment.

    Didn't make it in time for the rangers/bruins game under which sucks but hopefully the night goes well regardless.

    Really like the over 6 in toronto tonight and also the over in the 1st period seems like a good bet. They have scored 2 or more goals in the first period 6 games straight.

    Still looking into everything else and considering my initial leans above as my plays.

    Going with the leans I had earlier as my picks:

    New Jersey -140 Over Montreal
    Pittsburg/Toronto Over 6 -135
    Tampa/Phili Over 5.5 -125
    Calgary/Vancouver Over 5 -140

    All bets are at bodog. I'm gonna likely start playing at Bookmaker or somewhere else. Bodog is brutal for hockey, with no 1.5 lines or 1st period lines. Pretty basic book if you ask me. Always have strong leans on 1 period plays, and also puckline from time to time but can't bet them at bodog. Time to get a real book i guess.

    3 games today on the board, not the greatest matchups but we'll work with what we got.

    First game is Ottawa/Carolina. Something about this game says "stay away". Nothing stands out to me for sides and I think it can easily go either way. In the last 29 meetings Ottawa are 18-8-3, and 9-4-2 in the last 15 in Carolina. Even though Ottawa looks like they should win, I still feel this game is a toss up for the win.
    What does catch my eye in this game is the under 5.5 total. This is a 5pm game EST, and in the last 11 Sunday games Carolina's games have been under 7-3-1. The under has also 4-0-2 in the last 6 meetings in Carolina. I can see this one being a low scoring affair, so my lean is towards the under 5.5 goals in this game.

    For the Dallas/Columbus game I like the Stars to come through victorious in this one.
    Dallas snapped a 3 game losing streak on Friday against the Islanders taking it 4-3. I look for them to continue what they started and string together a couple wins.
    In the last 32 meetings between the two teams, Dallas are 24-8, and 4-0 in the last 4 in Columbus. The road team is also 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.

    Final plays will be posted within an hour before the first game starts.

    Good luck today guys

    Looks like the public is heavily favoring the over 5.5 total in Ottawa/Carolina game. Covers has the game's consensus at 71% on the over at -140 to -150.

    I guess they expect both them teams to come out firing today...but I just can't see it. Both teams have been struggling to get goals lately and I think it may continue.

    At +130 at bodog now, I'm gonna make a small play on the under.

    Ottawa/Carolina Under 5.5 +130

    Good luck

    Thanks Dennis, it was a strange night all over the board. Glad I stayed away from sides, I was liking Detroit and Washington myself. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day for you.

    Tough card today, probably 1 or 2 plays max for me. Leaning towards Boston +120 to get things back on track on the road vs the Ducks, the under 1.5 Ist Period looks good too. I'm also leaning towards the over 1.5 1st period for Capitals/Panthers.

    Of the 4 games tonight I'll likely be paying attention the the Vancouver/Minnesota game. Too close in my opinion to make a play, but it should be a hell of a game to watch!

    Posting my plays in a little while.

    Good luck tonight

    Bruins decided to choke lastnight in Anaheim. Too bad the fan below wasn't there to get them going.
