VI's 2011/2012 NHL Season Long Thread

[VegasInsider]

Finally, folks....HOCKEY IS BACK! Rings have been handed out and the banner goes up tonight for my beloved Bruins. Hopefully, there's no Cup hangover for the black and yellow.

I'll be keeping a season long thread for the NHL, which is arguably my best sport. Some nights, there may not be any plays and some nights there could be 3-4. All plays will be TO WIN 1 unit on favorites and RISKING 1 unit on underdogs, unless otherwise noted.

Regular Plays = 1 unit
Strong Daily Play = 2 units
Max Play = 3 units (Not many throughout the season)

Let's make some money this season. Always feel free to post comment or questions and I'll try to answer in a timely fashion.

Goodluck everyone!

[vmchockey]

I'm on columbus. BOL

[VegasInsider]

Goodluck VMC. Looks like a lot of cappers are on Columbus. I'm gonna steer clear from them until I see some games this season.

[VegasInsider]

Toronto/Winnipeg U5.5 (-110)

Not quite sure who is going to score for the Jets tonight, they are just pretty awful. Both power plays have been non existent to start the season and Reimer has gotten off to a nice start for the Leafs and is between the pipes tonight. I'll take my chances tonight on U5.5

2011/12 NHL: 2-2 -.35

[VegasInsider]

Didn't see that coming. Jets score 3 goals

YTD NHL: 2-3 -1.45

[VegasInsider]

Thursday 10/20

Philadelphia/Washington O5.5 (+105)

Boston/Toronto O5 (-140)

1 unit each.

[VegasInsider]

Couple of winners in the early games bringing the YTD record to 4-3 +.6

Los Angeles Kings ML (-130)

1 unit

[VegasInsider]

Quick gets his second straight shutout and the Kings are winners again

Three in a row and starting to round into NHL form. Small card tonight, but a couple decent betting situations tonight and this weekend. Might have my first bigger play of the season.

5-3 +1.6

[gti175]

Good job on last night...

[VegasInsider]

Thanks gti... appreciate the post

Friday 10/21

San Jose ML (-120)

YTD: 5-3 +1.6

Sharks off to a rough start this season, but I think they can get a W in the first leg of B2B. I'm watching the Sharks closely tonight for a potential bigger play in the Bruins/Sharks game on Saturday night. Hedberg confirmed already and most likely Niemi for the Sharks.

[gti175]

Good luck, personally don't like the game at all. I think NJ might be a live dog here at home, but all the best..

[VegasInsider]

Wooooo shootout winner by the Sharks! Great finish!

6-3 +2.6

Late game play, just pure value IMO.

Dallas/Anaheim O5.5 (+130)

1 unit

[VegasInsider]

Oh man, huge goal at the end of the 2nd period for the Ducks. Hopefully we can get 3 in the final period. Might need the dreaded empty netter

[VegasInsider]

6-4 +1.6

Edmonton ML +125

[DMBcardinal]

I'm taking Edmonton +1 1/2

[VegasInsider]

Nice home dog winner.

7-4 +2.85

[VegasInsider]

One play tonight so far. Maybe another later on.

Montreal ML (-130)

1 unit

Budaj in net tonight as Price gets a much needed night off. Panthers most likely have Markstrom as Theodore is nursing a lower body injury suffered in Saturday night's win at home. The Canadians have started off the year very poorly, but have had some stiff competition with losses to Toronto (twice), Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Calgary and a better Colorado team than years' past. I like the Canadians to end the slide tonight and I'll lay the small home chalk vs. the usually woeful Panthers.

[VegasInsider]

Markstrom played great. 39 saves on 40 shots. Can't complain when you play a decent game and just get beat by the goaltender.

7-5 +1.55

[VegasInsider]

Nice full card tonight and I have my first 2 unit play of the season, YTD 7-5 +1.55

Vancouver ML (-140) 2 Units

Los Angeles -1.5 (+180)

Tampa Bay Team Total O2.5 (-120)

Pittsburgh/NY Islanders O5 (-150)

1 unit each on the other 3 plays.

[VegasInsider]

Ugh, not the best of nights. A lot of dogs winning last night, which is good for hockey. Updated record is 8-8 -2.75

Backing up last night's 2 unit play with another one tonight on the Canucks. This was the best team in the league last year and now coming off a road loss @ Edmonton, face the improving Blues at home. I can't see the Canucks losing B2B and at home. The turnaround is coming and the aggressive style they played in the 3rd period last night is a sign. I'll jump on the Canucks again tonight.

Wednesday

Vancouver ML (-145) 2 Units

Vancouver -1.5 (+200)

Philadelphia ML (-130)
