No pucks today but 2 huge games tomorrow.

Alot of value with the over in the Russia vs Finland game. +115 o 5goals @ Pinny

Both goalies have been hot but I think they will score atleast 5. A push worst case scenario.

Finland's powerplay is on fire and the Russians speed and skill will enable them to put some in the net.

I alredy have 2 units on the over and am trying to see a way that Finland can win this game @ + 170.

Alot of value with them but The over is the best bet for now.

Will be entertaining games to watch for sure. See a lot of value in Sweden though. Russia will miss Evgeni Malkin, who is suspended and Finland missing Sami Salo who has a shoulder injury. Salo is really important defender for finns coz of his size and is a solid player on shorthanded and powerplay situations. Both of these teams skate and move the puck extremely well. Nabakov and Niittymäki have both played excellent tournament so far. Russia has more depth in offensive lines, but Finnish 1st and 2nd lines can easily match those of Russias, its the 3rd and 4th i'm worrying a little about. This game could go either way but Russia is the clear favorite. Have to keep in mind that when being down by a goal or two, Russia has had some difficulty to play as a team, trying too much individual efforts, in earlier tournaments. Haven't seen signs of that in Turin, except maybe in that 1-0 win against Kazakhstan. Anyway, If Finns can take the lead they have a good chance imo.

Sweden -0.5 @ +143 / 3 units

Finland (3 way betting, draw included) @ +235 / 1.5 units

Hope you're right about Sweden. I think they will win, but am not betting because I have a future on them.

Good luck with the home team juuso.

What do you mean by 3 way betting jusson? Can you please explain? Am fairly new in NHL.

Also where did you bet Swden -0.5? I've got Sweden showing +0.5 at Pinny?

Thanks bud

[juuso]

There is 3 possible outcomes, a win for either team or a draw after 60 minutes, just like soccer betting. Sweden was -0.5 at Pinny when i made that bet. Pinny doesn't have that 1x2 bet on Finland though.

Thank you juuso! I wish I found out this NHL wagering in the olympic sooner. You have been doing great. Keep up the great work buddy.

Cool. I recommend just small stake on Finland as it will be a hard game probably. Over seems also nice, but i will personally skip totals in this match. Game starts in 1 hour 20 minutes, 3.05 pm ET. I will go to nearby bar to watch from big screen and chat with other crazy Finns. Will be good atmosphere there. Just a 5 minute walking distance. Have to try to not get too drunk as i was thinking of coming home to watch some nba in the night and also bet something.

[juuso]

YES!!!!!!!

What a match. Finland totally outplayed Russia in every aspect of the game. Excellent

[Ira Wilton]
