Why are the Blackhawks favored in philly?

Rich Boy · 03-13-10, 01:23 AM

Chicago is better than their record indicates...

I would say this line is about right.

lakerboy · 03-13-10, 01:26 AM

there record is damn good but you dont get philly at +ev off a home slapping very often- flyers win this game

Mini19 · 03-13-10, 11:03 AM

I'd stay away. Gonna be a great game regardless!

they are 7-2-1 in the last 10 games- how is that bad?

DwightShrute · 03-13-10, 11:20 AM

I don't trust Philly

in their last five, they've been crushed by the Bruins and Panthers, beat by Buffalo, and barely snuck by Toronto and NYI-for their only two wins in their last five.

part of the reason of my bet is that slapping by boston. either win or lose the hawks are not a favorite in philly. lets see what happens.

Would not touch it. In fact if I were to (which again I won't) I would take Chicago.

As a Flyers fan, very curious to see how this plays out - big game on home ice.

Laker you might enjoy this - my buddy has some connections and somehow got hooked up with Brian Propp's box seats as Propper couldn't make the game.

He is there watching the game and being served food as we speak

INVEGA MAN · 03-13-10, 01:20 PM

i WILL NOT BET AGAINST cHIC. THAT IS MY TEAM TO TAKE IT ALL. they have won me some nice coin this year

Yeah he is a legend.

Unfortunately my most vivid memory of him is him being layed out by Chris Chelios and blood pouring form his head lol

lakerboy · 03-13-10, 03:21 PM

Winner

DwightShrute · 03-13-10, 03:22 PM

WTF was the ending?

stevek173 · 03-13-10, 03:24 PM

Pronger goal with 2.1 seconds left to win it.

Leighton looked extremely impressive.

Great win, fantastic finish.

Party time!

lakerboy · 03-13-10, 03:25 PM

Again can someone tell me why the Hawks were favored in philly? Im sorry no team in the league is favored in philly.

DwightShrute · 03-13-10, 03:27 PM

congrats you guys! I took the over so I knew I was phucked after 2

stevek173 · 03-13-10, 03:27 PM

Laker you don't think Washington would be maybe a -110 in Phil?

I kinda do.

They would be for sure but steve thats disrespect to philly. Most NHL players will tell you they hate playing in philly. The only team that really owns us at home is the pens

Yeah they get off on it since we beat them down for a decade, must be nice to take decade off and stockpile draft picks

And then the bandwagon fans come out...

The goalie situation continues to be a problem in Chicago. The O/U on their games is unpredictable.

But being a 'Hawks fan, I still like them to win the SC, with or without the terrible Huet/Niemi duo.

adlai · 03-13-10, 05:22 PM

I still can't believe they gave up a goal with 2.1 seconds on the clock... embarrassing.
