      Okay, I do not think I will have the time for my normal research before tomorrow. Busy day and such. I placed my money tonight on two of the games I DID have the time to calculate. Here is the card. No more picks to follow on March 2.

      Record: 52-39-3, +22 Units

      March 2:
      • DET -0.5: +122
      • DET -1.5: +228
      • TBL/NJD U 5: +126

          Under 5 is SO hard to hit when you want it to. However, there have been a lot of unders recently, especially with the Devils. 9/10 games were on the under last night.

                      Thanks gin, was at dinner honouring a family friend tonight and I did not get home till just now. Looks like another par night, but at least not a loss. The weekends have been good to me all year, more "me" time I suppose. Going to start my homework now so we kill it. Later boys.

                          Thats a great question. I would say it is going to come down to the Flyers and Bruins out of the east for sure this year. Of course there is always the possibility of another team pulling an upset. However, keeping in mind that it is a 7 game series, I think those are the two powerhouses for sure in the East. They have both improved from last years squads as well. They match up quite well with the Western conference.The only team that can truly test those two in terms of offensive prowess from the West is the Wings. I know what you're thinking..sure they have lost two in a row to the Sharks and yes the Canucks are higher in the standings but they are still the best team in that conference. With the exception of 2006 they are usually ready to go come playoff time.

                          To answer your question I think the Bruins are certainly one of the top two contenders now. In october a friend and I each picked three teams to win the cup.
                          My picks:
                          -Bruins
                          -Flyers
                          -Wings
                          His:
                          -Lightning
                          -Capitals
                          -Canucks
                          Looking forward to it!

                            Foe some reason, I feel that the Caps is tryin to go under the radar, and when playoff come around, they will be a different team. Wishful thinking, maybe??

                              Man, that would be insane. Honestly after watching that HBO series and listening to Boudreau address the media I feel they are going to try a "defense first" mentality. It may not be as exciting but hey, I think every capital fan and player would rather have a cup. I still finding watching them play very entertaining because they have the freedom to be as creative in the offensive zone as they want. All these people saying that Ovi choked this year. BULLSHIT...he is showing that a true leader believes in the team effort and he is willing to lead by example. If the Caps make it to the Cup this year no one is going to say shit about him. Everyone has heard the expression "defence wins championships", lets see if the caps are as good on the backend as they are up front. At this point, I highly doubt it.

                                              resurrection of old threads

                                              hey hockey fans and gambling (non)addicts,

                                              so i took a little hiatus from nhl punting to go travelling and back to law school (living in the uk, not canada anymore). now, three years later i've started making hockey picks again. i think i have connor mcdavid (and my oilers having the slightest bit of optimism) to thank for reigniting my passion in following this league night after night. also possibly the fact that english sports are dull as _____(most of the time) compared with hockey.

                                              so i started a blog on opening night last week. record is 26-15 so far, so im pleased with that. if you would like to see a full record of my picks, you can check it out http://locksports.sportsblog.com/. as a taster i've been betting 0.3 unit size just to get my feet wet. tomorrow, i'll be moving to 1 unit on my picks. i never pick heavy favourites, unless it's to win in regulation (just burn too much cash that way), so my ROI is certainly positive through week 1. all prices given are those on Bet365 (i miss pinnacle).

                                              i'll be posting the picks on SBR, but not the write-ups.

                                              nice to be back!

I don't know if that line dropping like a good thing or not. Wonder if people are over reacting since Rangers have lost three in a row and Lundqvist is out. I haven't decided yet, but I am actually leaning Rangers. If the line keeps dropping, I think I might just have to take Rangers.
