Was thinking about going with Detroit but may just go with Over 5.5 for that game with MacDonald in net for the wings... GL

Thanks guys!!

I think the line makers are giving the Panthers a lot of credit with Macdonald in net for Detroit. I thought the line would open up around -130 or -135, so it's tough for me to pass up on a game when I see this much "value"

in the past few seasons we have seen something that is new to the nhl, that being good goal tending depth. Most backups used to have terrible stats, but nowadays it isn't uncommon to see the backups with a 2.50 gaa and a .910 sv%

truthfully I don't think Jimmy Howard is that much better of a goalie that Joey Mac. yes, he is better. but it isn't as big of a gap as Florida would have if they started Scott Clemenson over Tommy V

Definitely agree on Detroit, even with MacDonald in net. They're still the better team and playing great hockey right now. Best of luck!

Detroit looked good all the way but Florida has somehow got this tied up at 3 off a real bad turnover

sweating this one

I only played Detroit for 2 units, I couldn't bet against the Devils at home with how well they are playing.

Congrats to all Detroit backers!! enjoy the Friday night
