Who do you like today?

I will grade everybodies plays daily, so please make sure you post a line.
10 unit max on each game. Thanks.

Also, I don't mind if you post parlays, teasers, or round robins, but these plays will not be reflected in the standings.

I wonder why Pinnacle doesn't have odds for game six up yet?

[goldengoat]

prolly cause a couple of hurricanes were banged up a tad in the game 5

Yeah, I figured as much. There still isn't a line out yet. Hopefully they will have something this afternoon.

Should I be worried about my Hurricanes? A Game 7 would be really bad. Is Cam Ward the best goalkeeper the Hurricanes have?

[Seattle Slew]

Carolina has to sink or swim with Ward at this point, even though they used the other goalie in a couple of games. Ward played well except early in Game 1 and in Game 5. He was terrific in Games 2, 3 and 4.

The Edmonton goalie played pretty well in Games 3, 4 and 5 and seems to be getting a feel at the right time.

Still, tough spot for Edmonton to win 3 straight. I do like them to force a Game 7, but Carolina will be tough to beat back on Monday.

i see the oilers are -115.

i'll take a shot with the oilers in this spot for 1 unit.

Pinnacle has Carolina as a slight underdog at -101 vs. -109 for Edmonton. It always freaks me out when both team are both negative or positive....any thoughts?

P.S. Is anyone taking Edmonton to win the series? I'm thinking about placing a wager on Edmonton to win the series just to go flat.

I'm riding the Edmonton express. Edmonton PK -115.
