Stars/Wings Game 5

VegasDave · 05-17-08, 08:38 AM

I think so... on top of the crazy crowd in Detroit, Detroit absolutely does not want to lose and travel back to Dallas for game 6 and potentially let them push to game 7. They end it in Detroit. The way these teams play, it may obviously be a 1 - 1 OT type game... But I see Detroit running away with it late for a 4 - 1 type victory... or, at the very least, you will have a shot at the empty net if Detroit is up late in the game.

The Wings were too tentative to start game 4, and that played right into the Stars style of play. Detroit's transition game is best played when they have a lead. I can see them trying to forge ahead early than capitalizing on a Stars team that will have to open it up.

VegasDave · 05-17-08, 08:52 AM

Its easy to come out tentative when you know that only 2 teams in hockey history have come back from down 3 - 0. Even if you try not to it is easy to let your intensity down a bit.

No way you can have lack of intensity at home, and like I said, the last thing you want is Dallas getting a "win game 5 be back for game 7" attitude.

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 08:57 AM

I completely agree with that. By the end of these two series, there still will be only 2 teams to come back from 3-0 deficits. Detroit should win this one, they have been unbeatable at home this playoff season, and that shouldnt change.

All my loose change is tied up in the Preakness, but I support your play in spirit. Good luck to both of us bud!

To you too good luck on the ponies

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 11:24 AM

Im sticking with the first period totals hoping to come out with a win on it. Going to take a look at the Sweden/Finland bronze medal game and see if I can come up with something I like. Good Luck all

I took a small Parlay with Det (ML) & Over 5
Might not be the smartest play, but I think Detroit wins and the ML alone was way too much.
GL Guys!

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 01:07 PM

1-1 Baby

Thanks ryan, Wings have started playing. Hitting, and skating hard. If not for Turco, Wings would be leading. Get in regulation

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 01:16 PM

yeah
turco is keeping this from being 3-1 already

he is solid dude!

cavs and lakrs last night!!

Won on Cavs 2nd half under(easy money)
Won Jazz/Lakers 2nd Qrt under 53
Lost 2nd half Lakers +7( thought Jazz would fold)

Adding Sweden/Finland under 5.5(-114)

Good chunk of Swedens team is playing right now for the Red Wings. Finland has problems putting biscuit in the basket. Both teams play trap systems(clutch and grab). For most teams bronze medals mean nothing. These two Scandanavian rivals hate each other, and the bronze is a source of bragging rights.

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 01:44 PM

dallas looks awesome

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 01:48 PM

Turco is acting as a 3rd D-man again, starting lots of rushes. Main factor in both their goals. Detroit needs to STOP the shootarounds, dump shoot-ins into the corner, and neutralize his break-out passes

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 01:48 PM

detroit looks like shit man
they are slower than dallas now

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 01:50 PM

Lots of time left

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 01:53 PM

i know
but i aint pleased
or panicking

the stars look sharp my man

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 02:27 PM

i am now worried

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 02:35 PM

Not looking good at all ryan.
Im rooting for you, but the gambler in me had to play the under 1.5 for the 3rd.

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 02:38 PM

detroit has 1 goal
this is pitiful

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 02:40 PM

they arent the same team that won the first 3 so handily. And Dallas has gotten stronger. Dallas wins this, they think they have a chance. Turco being 0-9-2 lifetime in Detroit with a 3.14 gaa is looking like he has never lost there

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 02:41 PM

yep
they had a lot of chances to score on turco

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 02:43 PM

Got any bases on the go?

Im on Tribe ml, and under 8.5. I havent looked at anything else yet

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 02:44 PM

i like tribe and laa

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 02:46 PM

laa a late start?

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 02:47 PM

yep
same as tribe

chasing on laa though i dont like it much
i am pissed at the wings

Dashwood Clipper · 05-17-08, 02:54 PM

To me the chase seems to be the fave right now

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 02:55 PM

what do ya mean

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 02:58 PM

the yankees are so bad but i couldnt bring myself to lay -150 on the road, even though they have only lefties pretty much

Well I cap the game, lay most money on it, am confident about it, than I get blown out of the water. I wanted to take Detroit in regulation today, but had to switch it up.

ryanXL977 · 05-17-08, 03:06 PM

well you did well today man!
nice calls on unders and over!

go laa
