Keep up the good work. I enjoy the 1st period plays over and done with quick, and a chance to earn more at the intermission

I won't get into too much commentary after a win or loss since I strongly believe that emotion is one of the big factors that prevents people from betting disciplined (they start second guessing themselves, chasing etc). With that being said, the NHL must have tweaked the interpretation of the "kicking motion" rule as the disallowed goal in the 1st period yesterday would have been called a goal as recently as last season imo. Either way, there were more than enough chances and the numbers were there, that I'd make the same bet every time the situation came up.

I looked at San Jose under 1.5 yesterday, as their first period road under has been pretty damn impressive so far this year. But with Columbus being one of the few solid "over" teams in the first period, I stayed away. Similar with the Leafs/Rangers. I was looking at the 1st period over as Toronto went into the game 6 over and 1 under in game 2 of back-to-backs, but the Rangers went into the game 28-13 Under in the first period this year, so again, I stayed off the game as I kind of had the 2 wash out.

With all that being said, 10 of the 11 games yesterday went under in the first period - so I'm going to take a look at previous Saturday and big card days to see if there's anything that jumps off the page numbers wise.

(2-1 YTD +$97)

Both previous meetings this year (Nov 23 & Dec 11) went under 1.5 in the first period. (0-0 and 1-0)

Tough lost yesterday. Any picks today?

**Legero** · 01-16-12, 04:52 PM

LOL! I love these picks! Yesterday was a lame loss though, I thought we nailed it and got up to take a leak with 2 minutes left in the period, I came back, looked at the score and nearly soiled my trousers!

I am looking forward to the next pick, I really appreciate the effort you put in!

thanks!

**muldoon** · 01-17-12, 04:46 PM

Couple games that I won't bet because of the chalk or the opposing team doesn't matchup for numbers, but if you're looking for some trends.

NY Rangers have gone under 1.5 in 29 of their 43 games overall and 15 of their 19 at home.
LA Kings have gone under 1.5 in 7 of their last 10 on the road, and 14 of their 20 roads games so far this year.

**boondoggle** · 01-17-12, 04:53 PM

I think your plays are the best due to the schedule and chalk tonight.

**nyplayer33** · 01-17-12, 04:56 PM

great info, hope this trend continues

Hope so. The SJ/Chi loss was a bit a burn - but the season is filled with those. So while I'm hoping for 3-0 tonight, I won't go awol if the picks go 0-3.

GL tonight.

**D3 Mighty Ducks** · 01-17-12, 05:17 PM

Gonna tail all 3 of them tonight for the first time. Let's see what you got cookin' up in here.

**csavoia** · 01-20-12, 11:52 AM

nice picks today muldoon detroit first period should have gone over. it was the right pick many chances on both sides.

With that being said - I should have lost the WPG first period under if not for this insane save (assuming the other goal occurred as it had.)

1/24 Boston @ Washington
(Betting Under 1.5 Goals First period $115 to win $100 Pinnacle)
Boston has gone under 1.5 in 4 of their last 5 overall (and 4 of their last 5 on the road)
Washington has gone under 1.5 in 6 of their last 10 overall, 4 of their last 5 at home, and 7 of their last 10 at home.

Some other solid under 1.5 trends for the WPG/NYR and SJ/CGY, but the chalk is really steep.

**FreddDS** · 01-24-12, 09:45 PM

I took all 3, just hoping to make a small profit by going 2-1 at least, but all 3 won!

Couldn't be happier right now!

Thanks muldoon!

**boondoggle** · 01-24-12, 10:03 PM

yes thanks! Keep up the good work!

Congrats. Friend of mine who follows these was chasing some losses and threw way more than he should have on a 3 team parlay at 365. Risky to bet like that, but once in a while it happens for the good.

**FreddDS** · 01-31-12, 05:11 PM

Any plays today, muldoon?

I personally like MTL-BUF under 1.5 for the 1st period. Every time we face Buffalo, it's always a low scoring affair. Both times we faced them this year, 0 goals have been scored in the 1st period.

**muldoon** · 01-31-12, 06:22 PM

First game back after the all-star break always seems to produce weird results, so I've put together some trends, but won't be betting these (outside of a couple small parlays with a few of these)

NY Rangers / NJ Devils
Devils are 0-5 last 5 and 2-8 last 10 overall.

Numbers say: Take Under 1.5 in the first period

Ottawa / Boston
Senators are 23-29 on the season, and 0-3 their last 3 overall.
Senators are 3-7 last 10 on the road
Boston is 1-4 last 7 and 3-7 last 10 overall.
Numbers say: Take Under 1.5 in the first period

NY Islanders / Carolina
Islanders are 0-3 last 3, 0-5 last 5, and 2-8 last 10 overall

Buffalo has been amazing on the road for betting the under (7-18). Both games this year were goose eggs in the first period.

Only reason I stayed off, was Montreal is on a 5-0 over run in the first period tonight.

Good luck if you bet it though - go 0-0!
