11/12 Thoughts

[beavers33]

Anyone like CBJ -1.5 (+200) as a bet with pretty good value tonight or is this a big let down spot for STL?

TB/PIT over 6 is looking pretty good. I like PIT to get a win tonight, but won't be betting on it. Too tough to tell with Smith and Fleury getting the start.

FLA/MIN over 5.5 (+105) doesn't look too bad with the Wild coming off a real butt-kicking last night and Theodore getting the nod in goal. I also like FLA -1.5 (+190) as a possible bet.

Somebody give me something on CAL/PHX. I don't know these teams very well.

ANH is obviously a big favorite tonight as they've been hot. Dallas coming off a tough loss last night after questionable officiating in the 3rd last night. How are they going to react? Any insight on these last two games would be greatly appreciated.

Will CAL/PHX go into OT? I`ll take YES for +300. The under is the play if your willing to lay the 40 cents.... I see a 2-2 type game between these two clubs (hopefully). I am from Calgary and follow the Flames closely. They have this trend of sucking at the Saddledome and playing tight games on the road over the last season and a bit. Evident from the other night in Colorado where it was 1-1 after 2 periods, but somehow it ended over the total (empty net goal).

At Pinnacle, I don`t see the Ducks as a big favorite. I would be willing to play them at -135 with there 6-1-1 home record and the fact that the Stars are 9-24 in there last 33 games on 0 days rest. But again, this could go either way as the Ducks may be on a 5 game win streak, but all of those wins have been by 1 goal. I am also a little confused as to how the Stars will respond on a B2B after a tough loss to the Kings. They might be tired, or may come out fast hoping to at least salvage 1 win on their 3 game road trip.

Thanks for the insight. I think I'm gonna stay away from the DAL/ANH game. I like your thoughts on CAL/PHX. I shouldn't have said I don't know anything about those teams. I don't know much about PHX. I'm from MIN so I see and pay attention to the Flames plenty. Let's just hope Kipper and Bryzgalov are hot. How do you feel about those other games?

I would have trouble betting the Blue Jackets to win by 2 goals after thumping the Blues (who have the best record in the NHL) in their previous game. Colorado just lost to the Flames and didn`t really show up in the 3rd period. IMO, I would think this would be a let down spot for the Blue Jackets, and a good spot for the Avs. Also, the Avs are 5-0 in last 5 meetings between the two, and Nash may have limited availability for the game tonight. My gut tells me to lay off the side and play the under....

I posted some thoughts on the PIT game in the Smith vs Fleury thread...

My POD tonight is the Grand Salami Under 34.5 goals. I just get the feeling after a high scoring last few days it calms down a bit, and I have sided with mostly under`s tonight in the games.

I like the Avs tonight. Also like that to go over. I think at 34.5 it will be an over night. I see high scoring games from Colorado, Pittsburgh, and NJ.

I hope your wrong...

I'm liking the Avs to win tonight too.
