Carolina didnt win at Toronto since 11/03/2005 .
TOR are 10-1 in their last 11 home games.
Carolina vs Toronto Under is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings in Toronto.

[Razorbacks1]

I'll hop on the Toronto bus tonight also

Toronto (-135) at home vs. Car....5.4 units


XXX I think I should have been up only 4 units yesterday not 6.80.

[kanjinfo]

i have 2.5u on toronto because blue is my favourite colour :P

EDIT: ...@ -129

[Checkerboard]

1*Toronto -127

[BossRoss]

Wow, looks like we got a consensus here(almost) NOT A GOOD SIGN AT ALL IMO, but gonna go with this anyways, Gimmee:

TOR -127, Toskala makes his 2nd home start for his new team and he won his 1st(lost other start on the road at OTT in OT) Big story here will be Mats Sundin going for the Franchise record for Goals(Tied for 1st...needs one goal to break the mark held by Darryl Sitter...389) and Points(Needs 1 Point to tie Sitter, 2 to break the record...916 is the franchise record, Sundin is sittin at 915) so think the home ice and possible historic achievement gives TOR the edge at home, not to mention they won 3 of 4 last year including the final 2 by a combined score of 10-2(We'll take a 5-1 winner here too) Toskala 0-2-0 3.03 vs CAR lifetime, Ward 2-3-1 3.79 vs TOR lifetime! Also lean towards the Under 6 -104(Line has bounced around, it was -127 earlier, went to -104 just within the last hour and now is back up to -121, Probably should've posted it when it was -104, but will roll with the side alone!!! -1.5 +202 Puck line if you're feeling ballsy!!!

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT GUYS!!!

[WestsidePete]

I think I'm the only Carolina pic tonite...they were shut out in game one of their road trip and will be looking to redeam themselves quick...the fact they haven't won at Tor since '05 leads me to believe this will either be a tight game or Tor big win...I have more faith in CAR +1.5...I don't believe they lose by 2 goals or more...I feel much stronger on the under though.

[EaglesPhan36]

I'm usually sporadic with my puck picks, but seeing as this is it for action tonight, I'll chime in.

OVER 6 (+105)

Lots of under trends to like, but I'm going over because:

A. Cam Ward 2-3 3.79 GA vs. TOR lifetime (3 of 4 he's given up 3 goals or more)

B. Toskala has given up 3 goals in his first two starts this season.

I think that total of 6 might be right on the money, but I'm gonna chance it that 7 squeaks in. Maybe 4-3 in OT?

[JAHgger4noz]

That is a ballsy take on the Puck Line , toronto -1.5/ +202.
Toronto has been playing from behind in all their games other than game 1. they give up too many powerplays, even though carolina hasnt been scoring much.
I agree with WestsidePete, i have more faith in the +1.5 with carolina

Carolina +1.5/ -220

I still cant find where u can find the lineup sheet both teams must give out prior to gametime. I've checked nhl.com and yahoo. Although they state in the preview that Toskala and Ward will be starting in net, I'd like to see the actual lineup, with goalies and players who will be playing. Anyone know where i can find this info ???

[WestsidePete]

the canes are kicking ass...up 6-1 right now...I thought they'd be motiovated but wow they're on tonite...

[Doc JS]

Wow, looks like we got a consensus here(almost) NOT A GOOD SIGN AT ALL IMO,

Truer words were never spoken...

[cobra_king]

Just another reminder to never, EVER bet the Leafs when they are favored.

[JAHgger4noz]

Very nice Pick WestsidePete. 2/3 winners.
4 for 8 on the Powerplay. Talk about a team in disarray.
There was also a consensus on the Under Total too, EaglesPhan made a great Over Pick.
Good to see there's 12 games tomorrow
