    EDIT: >59.5% is 60% in my book

      Zetterberg got a 12 year deal from the Wings. Wow, that's a long time commitment.

        Locked him up for good...

        Now, either Hossa or Franzen will be gone next year =/ I sure hope not but I don't see how they can afford with this cap to keep them both...Though Z's 12 year deal should help in the short term with that

          Players come and go, yet somehow when it involves the Red Wings, they still remain one of the elite teams of the league which tells me, they have a plan in progress of some sort.

                Today-

                Thank you for commenting on my thread, and I am interested in your picks. I like the CAL game, but was curious what your 2, 4, 8 are for?

                Also was looking at ANA PL +1.5? Chicago was tore up before the break and ANA played lights out last night. The only thing I am a little timid on were weak legs with B2B games? Any input there? Thanks a lot for any insight.

                        Hanger,

                        You're welcome. I don't know it all but know how I do this, it works. I can not comment on the CHI/ANA game at the moment. Probably not what you wanted to here, but I will respond to your question shortly. Hope you understand.

                          Axis,

                          Thank you for answering that for me. The other reason the numbers are listed is for grading them and spread sheet notation.

                              Hanger,

                              Sorry for the delay. Here is the answer/my comments to the second paragraph: Back to back games are a part of the selection process used. I generally do NOT play spreads for the N.H.L. for the simple reason, each goal is worth so much - not the 1 point it gives a team but the value for scoring/of it. Yes, a case can be made for or against a team using a similar thought process but really it's much easier to `cap the N.H.L. looking for a winner (first) or a total (second) in my opinion. If you go the "+" route, I hope you cash. Incase you did not read it, I am on CHI tonight. This does not mean you should change your selection (never let a person change your mind if you believe in your work).

                                No apologies needed for the delay. My original thought was CHI on the ML, however being my home team, I usually look for every reason to not play them. Its a late game, so I need not make a decision about this right now. I have my fair share of NCAA BB going, as I don't need to force a play here.

                                Thanks!

                                    Not a problem. Had it written down and was passing it along to family and friends.

                                    Cubs or Sox?

                                    Enjoy the roundball.

                                          TA...I think last night was the second in a short period (for both you and I ) betting against NYR and regretting it.

                                          I didnt follow the All-Stars until you rounded it up 3-0 that night !! Sure would have been nice to haul some in.

                                          Lately I have been floored pretty hard in a couple of games.

                                          I dont want the Blackhawks to disappoint once again.

                                          Yesterday I was in WILL-WAIT-AND-WATCH-SINCE-THESE-TEAMS-MAY-HAVE-GONE-RUSTY-OVER-THE-BREAK mode until I gave in to the temptation of the 'Canes.

                                          I got to get better at controlling my EAGERNESS.

                                          Exercising WAGER DISCIPLINE looks easy on paper!

                                          any tips?

                                                  It is system based.

                                                    I didnt follow the All-Stars until you rounded it up 3-0 that night !! Sure would have been nice to haul some in.

                                                    Lately I have been floored pretty hard in a couple of games.

                                                    I dont want the Blackhawks to disappoint once again.

                                                    Yesterday I was in WILL-WAIT-AND-WATCH-SINCE-THESE-TEAMS-MAY-HAVE-GONE-RUSTY-OVER-THE-BREAK mode until I gave in to the temptation of the 'Canes.

                                                    I got to get better at controlling my EAGERNESS.

                                                    Exercising WAGER DISCIPLINE looks easy on paper!

                                                    any tips?
                                                    Good morning pocketlint,

                                                    PIT did get the win, doesn't matter if they lead from the first period or get the game winner in the shootout because a win is a win is a win and a lose is just that.

                                                    Sorry you missed out on the All-Star Game action. Worry not, there are plenty of games left for the season.

                                                    Rustiness happens more than people realize and I can appreciate your concern of it. ANA was on the back half of back-to-backs after scoring 7 and have an educated guess they can not put forth that kind of effort on a daily basis.

                                                    It may sound simple, but don't go to your books site or contact your local when you want some time off. The other item worth mentioning is, have the will power to not do it.

                                                      Those to split similar to the dreaded 7-10 from bowling.

                                                        Good morning lastinline,

                                                        Unfortunately they ended up winning the game last night. It happens. Win some, lose some and move forward to the next day.

                                                          As you wish. Thank you.
