About your question, I would venture Canada -150. Of course, it depends how both teams look in their next games. However, if Canada gets in they must beat 2 very good teams, so they must have had two very good showings to reach finals. In the previous game USA had had some luck, Canada had more goal chances but they had a bad night.

Huh? Canada has only one game to reach the finals. Slovakia tonight.

USA played their last game. They're putting the finishing touches on a blowout of Finland.

For odds, look at the first Canada/USA matchup and adjust downwards for the fact that USA beat Canada and USA destroyed Finland.

BetFair futures suggest that Canada would be -156 and the US would be +164 in a Canada/US gold medal game.

anyone know what the lines are for both games?

Luongo without a doubt. No way Brodeur starts. They will roll with the hot goalie on the win streak, and give him a shot for glory in his home arena.

Dennis, do you have an un biased opinion on the Gold Medal game?

magynuck · 02-27-10, 12:04 AM

Brodeur will be cheering from the bench.

can't see that it has to be under -150

avssakic · 02-27-10, 12:05 AM

Go USA. I hope they kick the shit out of Canada and all the tools on it

sharpmoney · 02-27-10, 12:14 AM

Should be a great gold medal game. Can hardly wait for this one.

DoubleEM · 02-27-10, 12:17 AM

Canada -204 on BetFair
USA +190

Retibol · 02-27-10, 12:23 AM

Im on Canada but I dont rly like it anymore
Canada's goalie's seems so nervous... Maybe its time for Martin again?

coin toss perhaps

DMB40 · 02-27-10, 12:24 AM

5dimes has canada -220 usa +180

blackbox · 02-27-10, 01:15 AM

have to take the plus money-cannot wait, and not much of a hockey person.

pimike · 02-27-10, 01:28 AM

This will be a good game but Canada makes adjustments and gets it done. Better talent, USA has the speed, but they will not be able to handle the SPOTLIGHT in the final game.

Sawyer · 02-27-10, 01:28 AM

USA @ +190?

Gimme me the Stars and Stripes

If the total is 5.5 I love the over, at 6 I like it too. That is my best play on this game. Depending on the juice I also like Canada ML if it is -150 or less and that is a 95% unbiased opinion. If the spread is -1.5 or higher (which I highly doubt it will be) I would take the US at +1.5. Canada should be ready to go and get revenge for their round robin loss.

Morrisbettor · 02-27-10, 01:38 AM

Thanks. I like the over at anything 6 or less also.

No problem. Here's hoping they release the line at 5.5, although I'm pretty sure it will open at a 6.

Have you bet any olympic hockey? I didn't see any on your spreadsheet.

Yup I have. I haven't been posting it in my thread or my spreadsheet as I am limiting that to strictly NHL. I have done good in the Olympic hockey contest put on by xxx though. There is a thread for that floating around on the forum somewhere.

I've been doing good

Should be a helluva game !!!

rdo37 · 02-27-10, 03:27 AM

The way these teams pressed the puck last game I'm on the over for sure. I see it as a 4-3 kinda score. Looking forward to a great game!

Dark Horse · 02-27-10, 03:51 AM

Would Canada also be -200 if this were a NHL game?
