So I have $1,000 to bet on hockey. Seriously, betting on basketball just seems dumb. College is way too crazy (Oregon State beats Washington last night! What?) and the NBA players don't care.
So I'm going to keep track of all my picks in this thread and see if I can hit any tickets and win some money.
We're starting this now.
Buffalo vs. Pitt - Under 5.5 goals (-125)
Cros is still hurt (Malkin is back). Pittsburgh has one of the best goalies in the league and Ryan Miller is not too shabby either.
Edmonton vs. St. Louis - St. Louis ML (-210)
Edmonton has no Eberle. St Louis is well rested and should be ready to play.
New Jersey vs. Florida - New Jersey ML (-140)
This team is playing well. Hopefully they can keep it up.
Columbus vs. Detroit - Detoit ML (-200)
Detroit is playing well, Columbus is not.
Buffalo vs. Pitt - Under 5.5 goals (-125) --- Pitt 3-2 Win
Buff 29 shots - Buff 1 min on PP (0 goals) - Fleury (2 goals)
Pitt 39 shots - Pitt 9 min on PP (0 goals) - Miller (3 goals)
New Jersey vs. Florida - New Jersey ML (-140) --- NJ 4-3 Loss in OT
NJ - 31 shots - NJ 6 min on PP (0 goals) - Vokoun (3 goals)
Florida - 29 shots - Florida 4 min on PP (1 PP goal and 1 SH goal) - Hedberg (4 goals)
Columbus vs. Detroit - Detoit ML (-200) --- Detroit 3-0 Loss
Detroit - 34 shots - 13 min on PP (0 goals) - Mason (0 goals)

Sat. Feb 3
LA Vs. Calgary - under 5.5 goals
$5 bet
Last 5 games between these two teams have been under or at 5 goals.
Calgary has been on a tear with 3 and 4 goals in their past 2 games since the break. Kings have scored 0 and 3 goals in their 2 games after the break. We'll see what happens!
