The "Everyone's Got an NHL Thead, Why Can't I?" Thread...

[BetterBizness]

Just hours away from Kickoff... er.. Puck Drop...

Lets make it happen... and maybe make some Canadian Coloured Paper along the way...

O Ya.. No one said I'm a goot speeler... NHL Thead.. hahaha...

[BetterBizness]

Watching Edmonton last couple pre-season games when they've been playing the non-WHL'ers... looks like a long season, and the only way we keep things close is by playing defensive and keeping it close...

Unfortunately, despite money as a primary goal... It's hard for me to bet against the Oilers... There aren't many teams I say that for... Just a thing I've had for 20 years... Calgary should win tonight, and I'm shocked they are at +100 playing our own version of a WHL team (Allbeit a very good one), but I think the outs are in the Under thats being bet at -113 ...

Thus...we start the year with

2 Units - Oilers/Flames Under 5.5

[BetterBizness]

Lots of action on the Maple Lafs tonight with the Goaltending Situation, and the other injuries... When was teh last time Lafs were fav's never mind at -140...

[majestece]

BOL this season,
for me, always scary to bet on the games btw oilers and flames , as oil and flame couldnot stand each other
other than this, the best pick for that oilers vs flames game is under.

[BetterBizness]

Is there anything about the Pittsburghian's we like moreso on PL at +170 then the evil ML at -170...

[BetterBizness]

I will add this.. .Since at this point, 20 years later I have not bet against the Oilers...

1 Unit TT Edmonton Under 2.5 +113

i would be shocked it they score 3... At least I give them the out that can still win...

[BetterBizness]

Adding 1st Period Total...
1 Unit Under 1.5 (-113)

[BetterBizness]

Cash

2 Units Oilers/Flames Under
1 Unit 1P Under 1.5

No shit? - Man my memory is terrible.

[BetterBizness]

Did anyone see the Oilers/Flames MacIntyre fight?

[BetterBizness]

My Play tonight is Jersey ... Big fan of the pace they showed in the Pre, along with the sheer firepower of what they were doing it with...

I am also playing the over 5.5 and hoping Marty can let a couple pass in the meanwhile...

Thus...

2 Units Over 5.5
1 Unit Parlay Over 5.5 + ML (-175) = 2:1
1 Unit NJ PL +170

[mrginandtonic]

[BetterBizness]

Day 3, I was all over NCAA, CFL, and Date with the wifey, thus no pick... Just unofficially in Dennis Green's Play of the Day thread I got Was/NJ Over 6 Correct... but I didn't actually play it in the thread so... we're even today..

[BetterBizness]

Small play on LA in Calgary tonight... Going to say LA gets off to hot start despite Calgary maybe being the steam play... Gonna see also if the Oiler trend will continue despite possibly being a suck in....

1 Unit - LA ML (+100)
2 Units - Edm/Flo Under 5.5 (-120)

Looking strongly tonight at TAMPA TT tonight Over 3 (+107) Pinny...

Lots of shots at Dallas's G Lehtonen and I have to almost "chase" the idea that he's had 2 games under 3 (1,2) and now he's back on the road where he's allowed (4,3) ... Tampa off a miserable display in Florida ... Seems like a very good chance of at least a couple in this game at worst where we may be freerolling by midway through the third...

1.5 Units - TB TT Over 3 (+107)

Keep up the good work man

[BetterBizness]

Thanks DG.. Respect you alot... tailed you as well on the Dal/TB 1p...

Didn't realize we were on a similar play when I made mine.. happy to see I can find similar value...

[BetterBizness]

Ok I'll bite...

1 Unit Cal/Nsh Over 5 -120

Despite Rinne back tonight.. Calgary is still playing a much more wide open type game, as is Nashville...

Clearly the Juice on "5" makes you question it... But also a goalie back off injury and a likelyhood of 30 shots each way being tossed...

I will take the shot...
