    One comment about Monday Nov.20 game Anaheim at San Jose.
    Anaheim was on back-to-back after winning a hard-fought 3-2 home game vs. Florida on Sunday night, in which their goalie John Gibson made 50 saves.

    They started backup Reto Berra on Monday in San Jose, who proceeded to make 40 saves earning the win (been about 2-years since the last won a game in NHL). So I really didn't see that coming. It underscores San Jose's scoring drought. Bad pick I guess, but knew Anaheim was starting Berra and figured would play them tough and get over the total.

    Breakdown by Category (all are included in Overall Record):

    3 UNIT PLAYS: W/L = 0-1 = .000 pct

    4 UNIT PLAYS: W/L = 2-0 = 1.000 pct

    5 UNIT PLAYS: W/L = 1-0 = 1.000 pct


    Brutalized myself on the Overtime Props, which I stopped playing.
    And the Totals haven't been good.

    Moneylines and Pucklines have been fine. If I can convince myself to not be stubborn, I should stick with those and stop playing Totals and Props.

    3-0 combined record on 4-or-5 unit plays, tells me my high confidence picks are on-point.

    **note: there is a 0.25 unit discrepancy somewhere. My book shows +5.49 units ahead, and that's what the summary figure comes up with. But the ongoing thread shows +5.24 so somewhere I missed 0.25 units but too lazy to try to figure that out.

    Tuesday Nov.28 - two picks

    EDMONTON -200 // 2 units to win 1

    PARLAY 2-teams (one ML, one total): EDM -200 & UNDER 5.5 -115 SJ@PHI
    risk 1 unit to win 1.84

    Reasons - long explanations:

    Must-win game for Edmonton on home ice against one of the worst teams in the league, Arizona. The home team Oilers have underachieved overall this year, but won 2 of their last 3 games, which were road games, and the one loss was somewhat surprising against Buffalo however I played and won with Buffalo in that game because Edmonton was starting their backup goalie Brossoit. Tonight's game doesn't qualify for me as a "lock"/high-unit pick, but I am willing to risk 3 units between the straight-up moneyline & including it in a parlay, because I truly feel this is a must-win game for the Oilers.

    As for the total pick, and fully aware I've been bad with totals, but this is the second time SJ and Philly have played this year. They played opening night on Oct.4 in San Jose and I wrongly picked the Under in that game (5-3 final, Philly won on the road) which was supported by long-term trend history among these two teams. Tonight both teams are starting their backup goalies....so why not take the Over?? Well, I expect both teams to focus on defense, especially Philly who have a terrible losing streak going in which the keep blowing 3rd-period leads. Also, the backup goalie for San Jose is Aaron Dell and he is good. Neuvirth on the home side of the ice handled himself well early in the season, but has allowed 5 goals in his past two starts, so he needs to turn-up his play in partnership with the Flyers playing stronger defense. San Jose is the strongest defensive team in the NHL, but on offense the Sharks have been limited, which may help to explain the thin moneyline on this game. Thus I'm including the UNDER in a parlay with the EDMONTON moneyline.

    OK tonight's small card is a bit tricky. I'm going with another mixed parlay. Also locking in one game for tomorrow.

    Wednesday Nov.29


    PARLAY 2-teams (one ML, one total): STL -230 & UNDER 5.5 -105 WINN@COL
    risk 1 unit to win 1.80

    *St. Louis should whoop the visiting Ducks. However these teams play a lot of 1-goal games if you look at past history. The home team has won 9 of 10 previous matchups. Blues right now are also playing much better, and healthy. The previous trends are the only reason I hesitate playing the puckline.

    Friday Dec.1

    NEW JERSEY +1.5 PUCKLINE -305 // 3.05 units to win 1

    puck drops in about 15 minutes. Expect a one-goal win by either team in this game. Colorado's captain and top goal scorer Landeskog is still out serving his 4-game suspension. Colorado beat Winnipeg on Wed.night 3-2. New Jersey hasn't played since Monday night at home they lost 3-2 to Florida, I think they will be prepared tonight after off-schedule the past few nights. A lot of juice to lay on the +1.5 line worth it in this case.

    FLORIDA +106 // 2 units to win 2.12

    *mainly because goalie matchup, Luongo has played well even on nights when the team loses. Opponent NY Islanders actually let a lot of scoring and the goalies aren't very good, no matter which one starts because they keep rotating them both in from game to game - don't think they like either goalie so much. Also NYI lost 6-5 against Ottawa in their last game, not sure how that can happen.

    wonderful....Luongo injured in 2nd Period, and NYI instantly scores on backup Reimer. Florida will have to overcome this. Not an excuse for the pick, just for my tracking purpose. Game was tied 1-1 at time of injury, now 2-1 score about halfway thru game

    Florida scores 2 goals pretty quick on consecutive Power Plays, now 3-2 Florida. For some reason Cal Clutterbuck of NYI got upset and thrown out of game, giving the power play chances to Florida

    backup goalie James Reimer allowed 3 goals on 19 shots (.842 save pct), plus the shootout loss (doesn't count towards goals allowed stat, but still lost the shootout)..... after Roberto Luongo was injured early in 2nd Period - appeared to be a groin injury, but so far official news says "right leg injury" for Bobby Lu.

    Florida is in trouble now because Reimer has been in the league for 7 years and has showed declining performance.

    Tuesday Dec.5

    OVER 5.5 +125 BUF@COL // 2 units to win 2.50

    I feel strongly this game will be high-scoring, certainly 6 or more total goals. Keep in mind I'm pretty bad at totals. Hopefully this won't be a 2-unit pick to regret...but I tried several ways looking at the game to get away from this pick, and yet here I'm playing it.

    Depending where you play, the line might be offered as Over 5 -140 or something like that. I'm able to get over 5.5 goals +125 taking out the possibility of a push.

    By the way, do I have anyone tailing these picks? Fading? Don't be shy, I can take it either way.

    I play all the games that I post here and my purpose for doing this is to help myself improve and remain disciplined.

    Wednesday Dec.6

    PHILADELPHIA +115 // 1 unit to win 1.15

    Edmonton goalie Brossoit is just bad, in over his head. Philly has the players to take advantage of him. Flyers also have made some lineup changes that look effective. Risky to pick Philly as bad as they looked during a 10-game losing streak, but see them getting 2nd win in a row tonight for the public betting burial.
