STARS VS CAPS



Just kidding, LoL! You were expecting 8.5? Never saw a 8.5 line in NHL, That's why I love hockey! Let me explain..

Since hockey totals take action in a much narrower-range than NBA, oddsmakers are more limited when opening lines. For example, let's say Trashers will host Caps and you're expecting a high scoring game, probably 8 or 9 goals. Result of first two meetings between two sides were 4-5 and 3-4. Well, Linemaker cannot put up a 7½ goal line! That's the beauty of slim-range lines in hockey game. (Not to mention, the other two games between Caps and Trashers resulted 1-8 and 2-5)

Washington Caps will host Dallas Stars tonight while LVSC is offering 6½ for the total.
