This concerns mainly favs. Dog odds (in some cases) might go the other way.

I would be surprised if he came back from KHL. He´s quite old and everyone wants to finish career at home. Although I guess he might be a bit disappointed, as his Petersburg is not as hot this year as expected when he was joining the club.

He's been off of SKA St. Petersburg for a while now...he's a free agent and nobody has touched him. If he still wants to play and Detroit offers...I think he'll take it.

Could be his best shot at a cup too...Ozzy's injury is probably worse than expected so...Nabokov will probably be the back up but Howard hasn't played great of late so there is a chance to steal the starting role...even though Nabokov hasn't done anything in his career in the playoffs.

As I said before, I have neglected KHL lately, so I really didn´t know. Thanx for info!

jonnyboy21 · 01-20-11, 05:26 PM

Man, you had the full right to do what you did. I just felt that having a thread like yours, I would really want to keep it neat and synoptical, so that I could trace my plays and record without having to browse through tons of emotional bullshit. That´s why I made this "open thread". I was checking your thread just yesterday, but you took the day off. Speaking of myself, you haven´t "lost" me. I just don´t feel like copying my picks and repeating the same things twice. That´s why I stay here. Keep you record in your thread, post your plays there and come here to discuss anytime, your insight is more than appreciated

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 06:34 PM

As for the Yotes, I´m just not able to cap that team

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 06:48 PM

Alright, even though Toronto could really do with nice bounceback after their shameful performance yesterday, I am going to back Anaheim. The other play is Buffalo as the first of my three intended "suicidal" picks tonight

1 unit each. GL!

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 06:53 PM

How about the Sens? They probably stand NO chance against Philla, but at + 206, I feel tempted to take them anyway...

RbN · 01-20-11, 07:00 PM

I got Philly and Anaheim + bunch of other plays.

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 07:02 PM

Couldn´t resist. Ottawa, 0.5 unit.

RbN · 01-20-11, 07:03 PM

hope u lose for today

What a terrible thing to say, shame on you

But I will lose, most likely

jonnyboy21 · 01-20-11, 07:14 PM

I don't want to just copy and paste everything so my picks are in my thread now, all finalised and placed. A few dogs in there

Axis · 01-20-11, 07:16 PM

I don't think just because a team has a line of +200 or higher that they should be played just because the line is so high...you still need to win 50% of those games to make $...which well, I guess is a possibility, but I'm not sure about blind betting them.

Let's go Rangers!! (and Red Wings, though I didn't bet them)

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 07:29 PM

Well, the Sens money are

But it wasn´t blind betting. I have won many bets like this over the years, where everything was pointing at the favorite. You don´t win + 200 bets on a daily basis, but sometimes you have to take a chance. Maybe in hockey it is slightly different, but I take even bigger dogs in NBA quite often (although I hedge many of those bets live).

jonnyboy21 · 01-20-11, 07:50 PM

I won doing what Dharma did a couple weeks ago or so. It wasn't blind, I actually thought they had a chance. It was the Oilers against San Jose I think.

dvw5bf · 01-20-11, 08:01 PM

Any thoughts on Nashville? like them even more with Fleischmann out of the lineup.

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 08:31 PM

Nashville is another illegible team for me. No play... but they might have a shot. Really dunno...

jonnyboy21 · 01-20-11, 08:38 PM

Nashville is a play of mine tonight. I think COL is due a letdown performance at home after 2 good wins in Colorado. Although my picks are not doing well at all yet tonight with 1 period to go in the first round of games..

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 08:47 PM

That Anaheim game´s not making me happy. I hope they turn it around, but still... the Leafs seem to screw me everytime, no matter if you bet on or against them.

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 09:01 PM

Edmonton, 0.5 unit.

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 09:08 PM

Oh, have I already mentioned that I hate the bloody Leafs? 5-2!!!

jonnyboy21 · 01-20-11, 09:24 PM

boston

theyre still too inconsistent at home damn it...

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 09:49 PM

So at least the Sabres cash!

As for the Sens pick, the price was right. Sparkle of hope at the end of the second, but in the third Philly wiped the floor with them...

jonnyboy21 · 01-20-11, 09:54 PM

bad night for me dharma, but i guess they have to happen occasionally :P...atleast lightning reduced the losses with a nice SO win. And the Preds are doing well.

Dharmonize · 01-20-11, 09:59 PM

Without the bad nights, there wouldn´t be any good nights. And you sure have more of those positive ones
