Pretty sure he's referring to the fact that you wrote "Monday Plays" instead of "Tuesday Plays"

Lets kill the books. Best of luck.

DR225 · 01-31-12, 08:31 PM

DG, have you ever tried capping refs instead of the actual games? You might actually hit a better % lol...talking about the pitt/leafs game btw.

Took a look before but never would bet based on Refs. Refs screwed Leafs in the 1st on that disallowed goal but Leafs should have 5 already if they had any finish tonight.

DR225 · 01-31-12, 08:40 PM

lol was joking about that. Regardless, it doesn't matter how many chances they fuked up, they scored and it was disallowed. The entire game might've played out differently had that went in.

LIVE BET : OTT/BOS Over 7.5 (+201) $50 to win $100.50

DR225 · 01-31-12, 08:57 PM

I need boston to win badly (well, not that badly, last leg in $350 parlay risking $25) so hopefully they score for you. Thomas seems to be playing poorly lately.

caps/tampa 1 from cashing

Bruins tie it a couple minutes in

5-3 final Boston works for me

DennisGreen · 01-31-12, 09:06 PM

Almost there. leafs cashes too.

DennisGreen · 01-31-12, 09:38 PM

There's the over in Tampa. Decent start to the night. Almost hit that hero live bet Boston just couldn't get that empty netter

DR225 · 01-31-12, 09:42 PM

I'd say this night is looking unbelievable, everything was looking to go under due to rust or whatever, but goals in bunches means $$$$$$ in bunches. congrats so far man. I may have a different perspective than you (I'm a glass half full person) but whenever I make a bunch of big bets, I'm happy if I'm even or slightly down.

Yup wasn't looking good early but managed to hit 2/3

mikea33 · 01-31-12, 09:56 PM

Lets cash out both of these DG. Got nervous early......but calmed down and enjoyed profit so far.

DennisGreen · 01-31-12, 11:01 PM

There's the 1st period over in San Jose, guaranteed some profit at least on the night

Now 4 more goals in VAN boys for a big night

DR225 · 01-31-12, 11:02 PM

there's the sharks goals. too bad the canucks/hawks over has no chance of cashing. oh well, I'm happy with 3-2

have you seen the goaltending?? lost cause man.

DR225 · 01-31-12, 11:34 PM

DG, do you agree with the canucks not playing Luongo?

DennisGreen · 01-31-12, 11:36 PM

100% Schneider is the better goalie and handles pressure and big games better.

DennisGreen · 01-31-12, 11:37 PM

Well Schneider is single handedly keeping this one under

Should have went with the 1st period over instead I guess. Ah well.

StokesChargers · 01-31-12, 11:43 PM

They are both good goalies, but you could still consider Schneider unproven... I would like to see how good he is when he has been named the number one goalie and has to play night in and night out. Not saying he couldn't do it, but just trying to say how hard number one goalies are hard to come by. It's nice to have options if you are the Canucks, but we all know who is starting in the playoffs.

Yup and in his limited playoff experience he played very well. I have no doubt he's a top 5 NHL goalie if he ever gets his shot to take over. Luongo is a great goalie don't get me wrong but he's too emotional and lets bad goals rattle him.

Schneider is naturally a less neurotic and calmer guy than Lou and always in position whereas Lou is prone to overcommitting and being out of position (on his stomach etc) more often.

DR225 · 01-31-12, 11:47 PM

wow...my hockey knowledge isn't the greatest but I thought Luongo was a top goalie in the league. I thought Luongo had some fantastic games and bailed the canucks out a lot last postseason. Having a seemingly better backup is an amazing problem to have.

He's still a solid goalie for sure but Schneider has passed Lou in terms of skill and composure. With Lou's never-ending contract and no trade clause though Schneider isn't likely to take over anytime soon. That's why he will likely have to be traded for some assets at some point unfortunately

Whatever happens, you should be glad you don't have a Bryzgalov situation lol. goalies are like qbs, fuk up a couple times and you pay for it for years.

I feel bad for Brzy he's a hell of a goalie but clearly playing in an actual hockey market with a history of bad goaltending and that much pressure is getting to him

Thanks for the points also very generous

DR225 · 02-01-12, 12:16 AM

lol not very generous as points are pretty much worthless, just gave you what I had for such a good betting day. I'll give you these 12 I just received too.

hopefully Brzy plays his way outta this but I'm not holding my breath. I live near philly and he's receiving a lot of attention, none of it being good.
