I like Peg in regulation, do not think they are worth -130

Malkin didnt play the third period of last nights game. Bylsma stated soreness, but nothing serious to be made of it. He played Malkin a little on PPs in the third still. They were up big and Geno had been getting involved in a lot of rough stuff, so Bylsma was likely trying to protect him.Comment -
DG man you gotta pound the jets, fans goin crazy the jets needs to win this to keep em pumpin, a nice situational sunday bet i would assume lolComment -
He had "cramping" problems the game before
Edit: I'm sorry, that was Stall. To make it up to you guys
, Here is something I found on Malkin
Also does anyone know if Fleury is playing tonight? He has played two games, but got a game of inbetween. I would say yes?Malkin, meanwhile, missed the postseason last year because of a torn ACL that he is now fully recovered from.
The Penguins did not say when Malkin was hurt, though he appeared to have his legs taken out during a faceoff by Calgary center Curtis Glencross(notes). Malkin did return to participate on a power play in the third period, but did not play during any regular strength situations.
I meant The Jets, just to be clear. I am slightly leaning towards Pitt tonight but am not convinced, I have ridden them the last two days so I feel that today may be the day to take a break with a no play. However, I regretted talking myself out of not taking Nash again last night so we will see.Comment -
Ooooo Gotcha Sox. Makes more sense now.Comment -
Johnson starting for Pens.Comment -
Johnson had a soild preseason and played well last year when Fleury was having some issues. But I'm still like Edm with the home opener and Pitt playing their 3rd game already in 4 days. Could be a little let down on Pitts part IMO.Comment -

GL DG, Like the two team plays but im on the under in the 1st period. Let's have a soild day...

Jets a little too fired up right now. Looking better now towards the end. Hopefully we get to see this guy celebrating tonight!Comment -
Jets looking brutal out there
Comment -
I find that emotions only work for teams that also happen to be good. For instance if DET retires a jersey before a game they will more than likely win that game because 1. they are good and 2. it's like a tribute to the player. One could even argue we saw it today in the OAK game, though... I'm skeptical if anyone really gave a shit about Al Davis on that roster.
If WPG gets their team back but it's just a shitty ATL team in disguise, emotions don't seem to compensate for the lack of skill.
Always keep an eye out for pre-game ceremonies. Fascinating how often those teams will win.Comment -
Back from the Jets game. Dissappointing obviously, but we did outshoot the Habs 31-22. That first period looked brutal though. It's one game, not at all worried, things will come together. Claude Noel will make a winning team.Comment -
let me just say that price's goaltending tonight is surprisingly unreal and that pavelec is ... slumping... sorry bout the pegs man...Comment -
Fcuk ya Oilers! Hard fought win tonight. They killed off a 5 minute major at the end of the 3rd too
Beauty game by Dubynk.
I'm still a little upset I fell for the Winnipeg hype tonight. Was a square play on a team with way too much pressure on them.Comment -
Nice hit!
Pretty disappointing to see my Pens lose like that. Great D and work so hard, but no Sid/Geno, and they just cant seem to finish. Must have been tough for you to watch, given the long PP and Neal hitting the post in the end. Was a pretty good hockey game.
Def. excited about the pens this year, seems like they are a cup contender with the roster they have now...add in Geno at %100 and Sid hopefully healthy...this could be a big year.Comment -
Yup still a hell of a road trip for them getting 5 of a possible 6 points. They look very solid. Johnson had a great game tonight too. At the end you could just tell the Oilers would pull it off though as Pittsburgh couldn't score on the 5 minute major and then the post. Hopefully Sid comes back soon and then your Pens should go on a nice run
Comment -
Yeah, im hoping i can get some nice money out of them now, because i think that they will be undervalued. Once Sid gets back, everyone will be the on the Pens and the lines will be way too juiced. But right now, riding the Pens + Under could be a pretty good bet. Especially if Malkin is out for an extended period.
Once the Oilers killed off the penalty, yeah the momentum was def. going with the Oilers. When it came to the shootout, i figured they were the favorites. Fleury is a great shootout goalie, but Johnson isnt. That and without Malkin/Sid, the Penguins only real threat on the shootout is Letang. God i just wanna see our team healthy for once, its been a while...Comment -
1-2 -$78 on the day.
The Oilers hit was good for my morale, I feel like I'm heading in the right direction now
Still a rough start to the regular season but I usually always go through some pretty dramatic swings throughout the year. Just gotta stay the course and keep grinding.

Yup with no Crosby that is the nice thing the lines on the Pens are softer than usual. Bylsma is an unreal coach and motivator he's done a great job keeping the players on track when their big guns are out. Yeah Letang is disguisting in shootouts. He has the best moves from a D-man I've ever seen.Comment -
I am surprised people think PIT is more of a Cup contender this year than they were last year. Team got worse in the off season, not better. As much as I like him Steve Sullivan should not be a top line winger on any NHL team this season.
... well, maybe the Jets.Comment -
I'm a huge pens fan too and I like the signing of sullivan, he fits in well with the style of play.
People under-estimate the Pens without Crosby because they don't look the best on paper but its really all about chemistry and coaching. Dan Bylsma is no doubt the best coach in the league.
If best team on paper won championships, then I'm sure Wash, SJ and Van would have more Stanley Cup Championships than they do.Comment -

Most people avoid the first week or 2 to get a feel for what the fuk is happening... You're putting yourself out on a limb every night making picks and I think that hovering around even, even a little below is fantastic under these conditions...1-2 -$78 on the day.

Yeah I like Carolina too xray, also Blues in RegComment -
What style of play are you referring to exactly? There is very little chance Steve Sullivan is going to stay on that top line. He's just too old. And not good old like Selanne. Just old old.
Byslma best coach in the league, eh? You do realize as a self proclaimed "huge pens fan" it's ridiculous for you to make comments like that.
The team is much, much worse with Crosby. Jordan Staal is not ready to be a #2 centre. The defense outside of Letang isn't much to talk about. I think we're going to see Fleury struggle this season, too.
And you know what WSH, SJ, and VAN all were missing, don't you? Goaltending. They were only good offensively and defensively on paper. None of them got the goaltending performances you need to win the Cup.Comment
