Pstaff's NHL Picks 2010-2011

[pstaff1989]

for tomorrow I will probably be taking the under (6) of Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh. going to see what the juice looks like in the morning, and I also want to sleep on the play.

[pstaff1989]

Under (6)(-115) Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Pittsburgh Penguins 4.6 units


This is my first big play in a while now in the NHL. Both of these teams have played to the under in 4 of their last 5 contests. The under is also 5-2-1 in the last 8 meetings between these two teams. Dwayne Roloson is flourishing again in the role of starting goalie for Tampa Bay. Roloson shut out the high flying Washington Capitals last night, and will get the start again this evening. Dwayne has a solid 2.51 gaa, and a .920 save%. For Pittsburgh, it looks as though then Pens will put ALL-Star hopeful Marc-Andre Fluery back between the pipes. I expect this to be one of those games where it's 1-1 after 1, 2-2 after 2, and 3-2 overtime/shootout type ending. These teams are both very talented, and match up well against each other. TB looks to be focusing a lot on defensive zone coverage as of late, probably because they have proven that they can light the lamp. Pittsburgh also knows that there best chance of winning is to play great D tonight, because it's hard to run and gun with a team like TB.

5 goals in the first twenty minutes. Bye bye $115

This was a more high paced game than I anticipated. Toronto seemed ready for a let down on offense, but it wasn't meant to be as there have already been 3 goals scored in the first 15 minutes of the game. I'm gonna chalk this one up as a loss, on to the next one

Empty net goal cost me the second game, the first game was 6-0. I thought it would be more like 3-0 or 3-1 but what are ya gonna do. The second game was still 1-0 with about 16 minutes left in the game.

Alright, time to starting slowly but surely digging myself out of the NHL slump

Pittsburgh Penguins +120*

$100 to win $120


Pittsburgh choked away the victory against Boston just 4 nights ago, I look for the Penguins to avenge the loss this afternoon and come away with a 3-2 victory. The bruins have also gotten pretty lucky in their last few wins, luck runs short in the Nation Hockey League

Winner +$120

Nice winner as Fleury steps up in a big way for the Pens and comes up with 44 saves to lead his team to a 3-2 victory. Slowly but surely I will dig my way out of this hole.

2010-11 NHL 12-13-1 (.480%) [-$321.25]

[pstaff1989]

Los Angeles Kings -210*

$52.50 to win $25

just looking to get back under -$300 for the season. Hopefully I can bring in this $25, the Kings should work over Edmonton but you guys know how it goes. I would love to go for the whole $210 but I just don't want to lose too much on juice and I don't want to lose all my profit from earlier today

Chicago Blackhawks -170*

$85 to win $50

[pstaff1989]

Vancouver Canucks -160*

$80 to win $50


that makes two plays for today, but heavy ml favorites but I like both teams in each spot here. Chicago looking for revenge from last night and Vancouver got worked over in their visit to Minny earlier this year. I like Chicago 3-2 and Vancouver 4-2, but I'll steer clear of the PL

1-1 -$30

should have stayed away from Vancouver but I will start to learn on these ones. I also had the full 170 ready to go on Blackhawks but I was too afraid to pull the trigger. Ups and downs of being a first year sports bettor
