7:30 PM EST - Washington Capitals -155

[Baxter Man13]

After going 2-0 yesterday, looking to extend my record to 3-0 with this easy pick.

Washington Capitals only -155 against the awful Thrashers. This pick is a steal if you ask me, Capitals have the biggest chip on their shoulders this season and they do not care who they are playing, they are going to roll over any team that gets in their way of the Stanley Cup Finals this season. Yes they are starting Michal Neuvirth in net tonight, but the Capitals are also facing Ondrej Pavelec in net for the Thrashers <-

Thrashers have new additions yes, but none that can make up Ilya Kovalchuk and Maxim Afinogenov, and for that, the thrashers will have another down hill season. Compare players on paper, the Capitals have too many weapons for this not to be an easy winner.

Capitals - Ovechkin, Semin, Backstrom, Green, Knuble
Thrashers - Antropov, (Eager, Byfuglien) Also with Byfuglien playing back on defense for the first time in years, he is expected to struggle, it is going to take him a few games to adjust to the position once again.

Washington Capitals -155 (5 units)

I remember when Pavalec stoned the Senators for 40+ saves and a shutout, he even saved a couple shots without a helmet. But I agree. this should be lights out hockey in favor of the Caps. It is so important for them to start the season off with a win after how it ended last year.

The Sens don't have players like Ovie, Semin, Backstrom, Green, Knuble

Hopefully the Caps don't shit the bed like the Pens last night.

I wish!

No, but in all honesty, that game was just one of those days. I'm a little surprised the caps are only -150 or so. I was expecting 200 or so.

Same here this is why I am on it, -150 is a steal

Hey so your a Sens fan? If so, congrats landing Gonchar, One of the best defensemen in the league right now

[gamble]

like the caps tonight as well, good luck

The Pens are not what they were two years ago, they lost Guerin and Gonchar two major key factors for that team. Fleury is not what he was two years ago either, hes getting worse and worse. It is time Bylsma takes a hike as well, worse coach I ever saw right next to Ken Hitchcock

And plus Bobravsky stole the show last night, Malkin and Crosby were frustrated all night.

Caps look good tonight also like the Devils at home got it at -170 going to put the caps in devils in a two team ml parlay

[zebraman]

this is over. Atlanta is playing as a team possessed. Must have been the scary Pavalec collapse.

[k13]

Atlanta is better without kovy, he's just another russian loser just like ovechkin.

[k13]

Glad everyone got burried by the caps.

Line was low for a reason.

[DennisGreen]

Guess I could be a prick and link my thread in here like you did to me last night I won't though. I had the Caps in regulation as well tonight unfortunately. You will get it back buddy

[CapsFan]

Rough game tonight but 81 games to go for the Caps, nothing to worry about

[Baxter Man13]

Mason always plays good against the caps, its a proven fact. After the Pavalec collapse, I knew this game was a loser....Oh well what can ya do?

Get them tomorrow

I think you meant to say worst coach and not worse coach but Ken Hitchcock is one of the most accomplished and respected coaches of the last 20 years.

Guerin and Gonchar = major key factors? LOL! Well Guerin just got cut by your Flyers and Gonchar is Mister Olé.

Then you top that nonsense by claiming your "easy pick", the Caps last night, really only lost because the starting goalie for the winning team was replaced. Did you even watch the game? You were on the wrong side big time.

I can't understand why you guys even bet in October. You're much better off watching as many games as possible (no, not highlights) and getting a sense of what has changed over the summer.

It's laughable seeing all the semi/barely-educated guesswork being posted the past few days.
