Canucks better not trade Schneider or I may have to boycott.

Vinny's not going anywhere, has a no-trade clause and he likes it here. Unless VAN finds a sucker to take that contract off their hands, Luongo's also going nowhere.

Vinny is not wanted in Tampa by management. They need a goalie bad. Lou will be dealt this summer. If not we will drive him outta town.

Sure you're not in Montreal?

That's the kind of stuff their papers used to print. Not sure where you get the idea he's not wanted, but you're dead on about the goalie situation. Either way, time will tell.

Seems like the juice should have been better than that...anyways glad you didn't lose and at least got a push so you got your $100 back..

Yeah there are a lot of bs rumors up North obviously

Tampa needs D and goaltending badly

N.C.truebet77 · 04-23-12, 11:58 PM

Over and Under were both -115 on Sportsbook for the 3rd period...can't believe the chalk was better on my book vs yours on Pinny.....that was for 1.5 goals

Over 2.5 was actually (-250)

It's because all Chicago needed to go was score and the over 2.5 was hit. I'm guessing your bets were over 1.5 (3rd) which only includes the 3rd so if it went 1-1 and OT you would have lost. That's the reason the chalk was so different I think.

Lol, nevermind I thought you were talking about the 3rd period, lol. Over 2.5 would be a crazy high total unless ur talking Pens/Flyers.

Hell no I wouldn't have ever touched that especially at that price.

I'm still on the fence about AV. I lliked his balls starting Schneider in game 3 and then 4 and 5 as well but I have always questioned his ability to motivate. He seems to prefer to sit back and let his players run the show. We may need to explore other options and try and get a more fierce coach. Not Mike Keenan fierce but somewhere in between AV and him.

I see your point, but does it really take "balls" to let the better goalie get the start?

The rest of it, is definitely true! That's exactly what I was thinking for a long time now. If he likes to sit back, and let his players decide what to do... Well, let the Sedins just do his job, and save his salary. Honestly, what tilts me the most every time I see him, is that he always seems to have a little smile on his face, chewing his bubble gum. I think it belongs to the job of a good coach, to get his players hot and ready for the game. Obv. he can't do this. I am very curious to see what will happen after this first round desaster.

Haha yeah man I always tell my buddy he tilts me with his stupid smirk on the bench. It doesn't matter if they're winning 5-1 or losing 5-1 same stupid expression

Yeah he clearly couldn't motivate his players enough in the important games of the series. Especially the 3rd period of game 5. They should have came out hard and went for the throat up 1-0 but they played very scared and passive and that cost them.

Mike Huntertz · 04-24-12, 03:18 PM

I say Loogie goes.

N.C.truebet77 · 04-24-12, 04:33 PM

FLA:Jose Theodore hurt, will not start Game 6 Devils -1.5 looks good to me!!

DennisGreen · 04-24-12, 04:56 PM

Tuesday Play

Ilya Kovalchuk PTS + SOG Over 5 (-125)

-I expect Jersey's big players to have big games tonight in this must win game. Kovalchuk should have 5+ shots for sure.

eXon · 04-24-12, 06:02 PM

Quick question on your player props DG, have you been winning anything on them

?

Hey GFY pal

Been doing okay probably only hitting like 40% though

I've hit some nice +$ ones so probably only down a little.

remeedella · 04-24-12, 06:08 PM

I'm with you on kovalchuk but I would suggest more highly Parise. However I'm not gonna touch player plops tonight

Hahhahaha, was just wondering buddy

Im on Kovalchuk to score at least 1 goal tonight for +150.

Good call. Parise with 3 shots in the 1st and 0 for Kovo

Guy usually shoots like a boss but fcuk all so far. Will be cutting back on player props soon

skyscrapers · 04-24-12, 07:28 PM

Hey DG I got the same prop as you did but the line is o3.5 (-150) on Bodog. Let's hope it hits...GL...

DennisGreen · 04-24-12, 07:39 PM

^^^ Nice I've just been betting on 5dimes lately I'll have to keep checking out Bodog. Kovalchuk just scored so you're half way there

remeedella · 04-24-12, 07:41 PM

lol

Haha DG . I usually do these bets too but I layed off it one night and I think were both right

DennisGreen · 04-24-12, 07:44 PM

Kovalchuk up to 3

darktray · 04-24-12, 08:06 PM

You gonna play this over during the intermission?

RabidGoat · 04-24-12, 08:07 PM

I had the unders in this game but it looks like I'll be hedging that come 2nd intermission. I also have been on 5dimes for all my props. It also helps that I just banked $580 on the chelsea vs barcelona game today. I had $10 on the game ending in a draw and $10 on chelsea +.5 on the 2nd half. Both with absurd odds of +1700 and higher. I'm surprised by the scoring in this game so far I thought we would see more of a defensive effort from the Devils.

nhl.com stats got it at 5 for the push with plenty of time left

DennisGreen · 04-24-12, 08:57 PM

Yup 1 goal 4 shots so far

Looking like OT.

Winnipeg Jets · 04-24-12, 08:58 PM

ok who you folks think will win. brodeur might let an easy 1 in.

DennisGreen · 04-24-12, 09:04 PM

FLA (+108)

-Shots 36-13 for Jersey and were headed to OT. Enormous pressure on NJ and Brodeur has looked shakey. My gut is telling me FLA wins it with an ugly one.

swordsandtequila · 04-24-12, 09:06 PM

Feel the same way; took FLA +110. Good luck to us.

odog11 · 04-24-12, 09:13 PM

Yep. On Florida +110.

skyscrapers · 04-24-12, 09:14 PM

I've got a dilemma here...I've got NJ in the playoff contest so I don't know if I'm gonna hedge with FLA.
