San Jose, 1 unit.

[jonnyboy21]

I think the San Jose odds are a trap imho. Everyone expects Vancouver to have the customary letdown at home. I think they may cause a surprise. They are, after all, the Canucks and you can never count them out imo

[Axis]

Rangers shit the bed =/ oh well...

[Dharmonize]

I will not be surprised if Canucks win, not at all. But after playing team as bad as Ottawa tonight, I simply had to try the Sharks...

[jonnyboy21]

Good job Nashville

[Dharmonize]

Good job Nashville

Very good job indeed Should´ve taken them too... Congrats!

[Dharmonize]

Why I always repeat the same mistake and bet on Edmonton again?

[Dharmonize]

Yes, San Jose hits and makes this night slightly positive!

[Yungmef]

San Jose is ill shit

[Dharmonize]

San Jose is ill shit

I don´t really care what they are as long as they keep making me money like they did tonight.

[jonnyboy21]

good call on san jose. i had vancouver with pittsburgh so didnt make things worse for me gladly LOL

[Axis]

Today I like:
Dallas
Montreal

[Dharmonize]

To be honest, I don´t like anything today. With DiPietro out and Lawson in the net for Islanders, there are no other dogs to pick from, as I think both Calgary and Florida could win tonight at home. I might come to like something later, possibly Dallas. But now, as I see it, I will make some money on NBA instead.

[bus2]

Hay guys,I think for tonight to bet on 3 games
1)
NY Islanders
@Buffalo = Home win(including overtime and penalty shootout)
NY Islanders is very week team now with a lot of injuries:covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player3612.html RW Ques Fri - Concussion - 1/21/11 notesRakshani missed his fourth game in a row Thursday against the Capitals while he continues to recover from a concussion. He remains questionable for Friday's game against the Sabres. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player1240.html D Ques Fri - Upper Body - 1/21/11 notesJurcina missed Thursday's game against the Capitals due to an upper body injury and remains questionable for Friday's game against the Sabres. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player188.html D Out indefinitely - Hip - 1/6/11 notesEaton is dealing with a hip injury that will require surgery and will be out for an indefinite amount of time. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player1563.html D out for season - Eye - 12/22/10 notesMottau will require surgery to repair his injured hip and will miss the remainder of the season. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player909.html RW Out indefinitely - Lower Body - 11/26/10 notesHunter will be sidelined indefinitely with a Grade 3 MCL tear in his left knee. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player1325.html D Early Feb - Shoulder - 10/9/10 notesStreit suffered torn labrum after he was cross checked into the boards by teammate Matt Moulson during a scrimmage and is optimistic for a February return after undergoing successful shoulder surgery. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player554.html C I-R - Back - 12/14/10 notesWeight will be out for at least a week after being placed on the injured reserve because of back spasms. with all this palyers out ,they scored 95 goals and made 127 assists wich is very poor result before the away game in Buffalo, who won last night in away game with strong team like Boston,also they lost their last 2 home games with not so strong teams at the moment.In the last 3 away games with Buffalo,NY Islanders lost all games in 2,3 goals difference.Their away record for this season is 6-14-2-1 wich is very bad.
Buffalo is on a fire now especially after last night won with Boston.They won their last 2 games with very good teams Montreal and Boston. They don't have any fresh inportant injuries.Their home record is11-11-1-0 wich is not bad compared with NYI away record and they have to push to be closer to playoff zone.They scored 98 goals an made 187 asissts in this season.

Come On Buffalo.



2)
Dallas
@Calgary = away win(including overtime and penalty shootout)
Calgary is in poor form now after losing last 2 games and they have a lot of injuries:




covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player816.html D Ques Fri - Ribs - 1/20/11 notesStaios missed the last two games because of a rib injury and remains questionable for Friday's game against the Wild. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player1580.html LW Ques Fri - Poss. Suspension - 1/20/11 notesGlencross is facing a possible suspension for a boarding hit on Clayton Stoner.

He is not going to return until January 22nd when they play the Canucks he will also be fined $29,569.92. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player239.html C Out indefinitely - Neck - 11/3/10 notesLangkow felt numbness in his legs while working out on November 3 and is out indefinitely. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player1324.html LW Out indefinitely - Concussion - 10/27/10 notes




Whit all this players out they scored 101 goals and made 181 asissts wich is very before game with on a fire Dalls team.From last 5 home games with Dalls they won just 2,their home record is 11-9-0-1,not good for home team.

Dallas is great team wich is on a fire now,they won their last 7 away games.They don't have any fresh important injuries.Their away record is 11-11-0 .They scored 130 goals and made 214 asissts in this season.

Come On Dallas


3)
Tampa Bay
@Florida = away win(including overtime and penalty shootout)
Florida is not in a good condition now,they lost with poor Columbus at home ln last game.They have some injuries:covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player81.html G Ques Fri - Hand - 1/21/11 notesVokoun left practice with a hand injury and remains questionable for Friday's game against the Lightning. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player797.html LW Out indefinitely - Hamstring - 1/20/11 notesHiggins continues to battle with a lingering hamstring injury and will be out for an indefinite amount of time. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player615.html D Early Feb - Jaw - 1/16/11 notesMcCabe suffered a Jaw injury and is forced to take at least two weeks off. He may be able to return as early as the first week of February. covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nhl/players/player2637.html RW I-R - Groin - 10/10/10 notesBitz has been placed on the injured reserve after undergoing sports hernia surgery. He is expected to miss at least two months as a result. They lost their last two games,one of them was with atlanta who lost with Tampa Bay last night.Their home record is 11-8-2-2.They scored 110 goals and made 182 asissts-good but not enough playing with Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay won last 2 games,one of them was with Colombus who won with Florida.They don't have any injuries,Their away record is14-11-2-1.They scored139 goals and made 245 asissts which will be more than enough to destroy Florida.

Come ON Tampa Bay

Haw do you think?Any more ideas from you people?

[Dharmonize]

Hey, bus, where in the world did you get that? I agree Dallas is on fire, and it´s probably the best dog tonight. But after winning five straight and having played last night, this could be a letdown spot for them, as the Flames will be desperate to win one at home. Something tells me to back the home teams on a friday night, or stay away. And for some reason I really like Florida today. But it´s not a dog.

[bus2]

Maybe ,we will see

[Axis]

I took Montreal, but it will scare me...home dogs (minus CAL, NYI, and NJ) have been cash the past few months.

Just watching Ottawa get demoralized last night in Philly...and literally beat up with the 10 Fighting Majors in the final 5 minutes of the game...

Hoping they are just exhausted...

Dog wise, I took Dallas.

[bus2]

no bet for me:Ottawa-Montreal,but i think Ottawa

[Dharmonize]

I know it´s insane, given the goaltending info, but nonetheless, I´m gonna play the Islanders, 1 unit. GL!

[Dharmonize]

Even those seemingly stupid bets sometimes hit. Thank God! Islanders cashed!

[Dharmonize]

Although my original idea about backing the home teams tonight was plain stupid. Fortunately, I don´t listen to myself that often

[Axis]

Glad Montreal cashed...

Hopefully I can do a little better than break even tonight though!

[Dharmonize]

Hopefully I can do a little better than break even tonight though!

Not very likely, if you´re on the Stars. Down 5-2 by now. Still, gl... I´m off to bed with the thought of almost 2 units made on the Isles

[Dharmonize]

5-3, there´s still hope

[dvw5bf]

Today at first glance I am liking Chicago, Boston, Carolina, Columbus... Still need to take a closer look tho... any thoughts on those?

[rthoughton]

ha. Im glad your discussion thread has eliminated mine. Good luck in your non-dog picks, sure.. not sure how it all adds up.

Thanks. dont forget, im up 1275. youre welcome.

[icecapper]

Boston is a good play tonight as a slight dog. Colorado lost Fleishchmann for the season and Boston has been dynamite on the road.

[Dharmonize]

ha. Im glad your discussion thread has eliminated mine. Good luck in your non-dog picks, sure.. not sure how it all adds up.

Thanks. dont forget, im up 1275. youre welcome.

I´m not really sure who are you aiming at with this post. What do you mean by elimination? Is there some kind of competition between dog bettors on this forum? I guess just about anybody here can run a thread. This particular thread belongs to everybody who comes here to talk about games. There are no records being kept in here, which clearly indicates this thread is not private or competing in any way. I don´t give a heck about other peoples´units and see no reason why anybody should care (unless he wants to tail or be tailed). Just hoping we all beat the books. What I appreciate is sharing a pick, reason, opinion or feeling and having a discussion. I am also not aware of any non-dog picks in this thread. Anyhow, it is certainly great you´re up some money . GL!

[Dharmonize]

From the early games, I like Chicago. Boston could be a good play, but I am not particularly fond of betting this team (they´ve burned me many times in the past).

[Dharmonize]

I have a good feeling about Chicago, but they are not particularly good on the road. That scares me a little... no play.

[Dharmonize]

Still waiting for Avalanche to become a dog, so that I could take them, but it´s probably not gonna happen.

[jonnyboy21]

Hey dharma, didnt like any plays yesterday but big card tonight so will have a go.

As for dogs tonight, I'm leaning towards Rangers and Kings. I like Columbus and Wild as well but I doubt i will risk betting on them. The Blues are strong at home and San Jose are slowly getting back to winning ways and will not go easily. I won't be surprised if Minnesota wins however - they are hot at the moment and I'm not completely convinced the Sharks will be invincible at home again, just yet anyway.

[RbN]

Took Boston, Thomas can single handle COL!

[Dharmonize]

Yes, both Chi and Boston looking good, couldn´t pull the trigger, though.
