Sorry, man... was away from the computer... Well, now it seems quite clear that anybody on the Canes was right. Tough time of the season for the dogs, man...

I´m gonna put another unit on Colorado tonight. The Stars desperately need to win, but it doesn´t mean they will. They handled the Avs yesterday, but repeating it in Denver is another story. They might win again, but it won´t be so easy for them. Or so I hope...
Colorado Avalanche, 1 unit. GL!Comment -
Well, at least the game was close and the Avs tried. I have no problem with that...Comment -
Really tempted by the Devils...what a nice way to finish the season by dumping your local rivals out and making sure they're at home watching in on TV also! I can't see NJ not caring about this one and just gifting it to the Rangers.Comment -
Stuck a unit on the Devils..Brodeur to send the Rangers packing!
Comment -
It's a win-win situation really imo....if the Devils lose, I'll just take the Canes. If the Devils win, I'll rejoice and I can leave the Carolina game alone!
Comment -
Probably, yeah. I liked the Tampa odds initially but then I realised the playoff implications. Smith is in net for the visitors too and I don't think he is particularly good.. I think Tampa can afford a night off and rather like my Dallas' wins this is a similar spot with the Canes. Whilst it doesnt follow all the time, They need this so much more and I expect their desperation to make the difference, like the Rangers..Comment -
The Rangers wanted it more, obviously. This could also be the case of Carolina tonight. That´s why I´ll probably pass on Tampa. I really have no success these days, there´s value on favs, but I´ve never been a man of pucklines... You´ve done very well betting them, but I can´t bet the way you do, just can´t.Comment -
A man of principles, I understand!...I love dogs as you know, but then I also love taking PLs as you mention...so as you know, I just mix and match and pick my spots. I guess it wasn't such a surprise the Devils ending up losing but for a unit it was worth a go..looking at the 7pm games now...
Comment -
Yes, the principles have proved its worth to me over the years. Although at this point of the season they are clearly against me and I really should stay away. However, it´s too hard when the regular hockey season nears its end. Therefore I will probably bet on Tampa anyway... I also like the Panthers, Jackets and Isles... I can only guess that in case of at least two of these games you´ll be on the opposite and (needless to say) winning side 
Comment -
LOL...well, as you probably remember I altered my strategy as the regular season reached the stretch end, because I/we were noticing that the dogs were winning less and less and the games were becoming more unpredictable. So I switched my emphasis away from dogs and more (primarily) on to the faves.Yes, the principles have proved its worth to me over the years.

As for your guess on my leans, I can only suggest checking my plays within the next half an hour or so

Adjusting one´s strategy to current situation is always the right thing to do...
I refuse betting favs (you can´t teach an old DOG new trick) and that´s why I´m bleeding green 
I´ll check your plays as usual, gl tonight! 
Comment -
You too
...though not too much if you are on the other side of any of my plays naturally 
Comment -
Islanders, Lightning, Panthers, Jackets, 1 unit each. GL! The Islanders play is (looking at the injury report) plain stupid, I know. Panthers at home should play for their fans and the Caps have no reason to care too much. Jackets should play for fans as well. Lightning? Well, I´ve liked them all day long. I wouldn´t be doing this if it was for any other part of the season. But right now I simply feel like betting these dogs... it´s gonna take a long long time till I will be able to bet on them (with the exception of Tampa) again. So these are nostalgia plays
Comment -
Wtf, the Lightning have 13 shots on goal already?! That's 1 a minute! And the Isles conceded twice within the first minute
Comment -
Up and down, nice over in Philly
Comment -
Well, Tampa and Florida came through and ensured a little over 1 unit of profit. Woulda been nice if the Sabres hadn´t pushed so hard and let the Jackets win. Also the Isles had a decent chance, if only they hadn´t allowed those two cheap goals in the very first minute. I still consider it a positive night.Comment -
Wanted to take the Ducks, but accidentally put a unit on the Yotes instead... no hedging though, I´ll just let it flow and go to bed
G´night...
Comment -
Hm, of course, the Ducks won, the Yotes lost. I haven´t won a single mistakingly placed bet in my life so far But that´s only good, it teaches me to pay for my own mistakes
Comment -
I see no value on the Wings today as they have no motivation (otherwise I´d gladly take them against Chicago)... but I hope to pick something from the later games.Comment -
I take it back, Thrashers not a dog anymore... will wait for + odds in live betting (during powerplay or something).Comment -
1-4 so far I´m gonna make it an "I see" rule
Comment -
Sure, unlike the extra motivated Stars, the injury-depleted Wild have nothing to play for. Except maybe for the fans, pride, thinking it might be nice to win the last game of the season at home. I really don´t know. I just can´t imagine them not playing hard with the very last bits of strenght and energy left before the long holidays. Why should they hand the game to the Stars? I´m not saying the Wild are gonna win (the Stars have absolutely owned them this and the previous season winning 6-1), but I do expect an effort worth throwing a unit on the last home dog or the regular season. Minnesota Wild, 1 unit. GL! I don´t care if I lose this one, I´m gonna get it all back in the playoffs
Comment -
THE PLAY-OFFS: Well, first I gotta admit that I am no expert on the playoffs (not that I consider myself an expert on regular season either) It´s kinda hard to imagine our doggies barking too loud tonight There will definitely be one or two "upsets", but I guess that any blind dog betting would inevitably result in losing money here. I sort of like the Lightning, and I think that the Yotes have a solid chance today, despite playing "the" Wings.
Comment -
No need to sweat it in the first round. Massive drop on Tampa, I´d take them, but will go and say my farewell to the NBA regular season instead.
Coyotes, 1 unit. GL tonight, have a good start to the playoffs, everyone!!
Comment -
The one dog I like tonight is the Preds, with Ellis expected to start for the Ducks. No Hiller, no Emery, that's gonna cost 'em imo...especially when you have such a solid goalie on the other side in Rinne. They are definitely worth a unit tonight I feel. The 'Yotes do have a chance tonight and that's why I decided not to play Detroit. I'm more confident in the Canucks at home to get the job done. GL
Comment -
Yep, I liked the Preds at first, but I think the Ducks will get it done at home. I need to see how it goes first. If the Yotes go down, I might take another look at the late games. But as I say, hockey is not my priority tonight GL, Jonnyboy!
Comment -
Yotes had a great first period only to shit the bed in the second...
Comment -
Respect to the Wings! I have clearly underestimated them tonight...Comment
Alright, let me tack on another valuable and insightful "I see" here. Bet accordingly
Nice and symbolic "doggie" style ending of the regular season
