Toews takes back to back 3 penalties in a row way to go captain

[El Nino]

Seriously it is inexcusable to take a too many men on the ice penalty, let alone half way through the 3rd period in a closeout game. Fukk the Bruins, I hope they drop their pants like they did last series. Jagr shouldn't even be on the roster. I bet if the owner fined the offending players $50K a piece if they exit the bench early, these lazy fukks would make a proper shift change. You only learn it in pee-wee fukking hockey. /Rant

Toews takes back to back 3 penalties in a row way to go captain

Frustration from illegal picks and interference all night. Wings aren't letting the speedsters free, refs aren't making the right calls. Wings making it an ugly series...refs allowing it.

[Vegas39]

Refs letting them play for sure

Someone will get hurt here if they don't clamp down. 3rd period is going to turn into an absolute shit show...especially if the Wings go up 2-0.

[El Nino]

Nice collapse B's Now go lose again and close it out in 6.

i agree can see this getting ugly

[El Nino]

Chara just watches the puck go by him. What a tool.

watch it go 7

Well, that was a particularly awful night. 0-4 -4.26u

The ability for the Bruins to let an inferior team back in a game is mind boggling.

On to the next one...

gotta take the redwings for that price

Do I pray to the hockey Gods that they win game 5 at home, then hedge by pounding the ever lovin' shit out of the Red Wings series? Or just pound Detroit for game 5?

Me = Exact Same Position

I think I am just going to give up the $255 I have on the Hawks....if they perform a miracle and come back then I am happy....I just do not see a smart way to protect myself here at all.

5/24

Pittsburgh Penguins Regulation (-145) 4.35u to win 3u
Over 1.5 Goals 1st Period Senators/Penguins (-110) 2.2u to win 2u

YTD
132-120-2 +36.61u

Playoff Record

I'm looking for Pittsburgh to close it out here in regulation and end this series. I know Craig Anderson is a solid goalie, but I'm betting on what I've seen and not what I know can happen. Anderson has struggled mightily in every game except 1 in this series and he still should have lost that game in regulation.

For the Over 1.5 Goals for the 1st Period, this has hit 3 out of the 4 games in this series and each time it hit with ease (3 goals). It has hit for 3 goals both times in Pittsburgh. With this game, you have Anderson on the road after just getting ran at home in embarrassing fashion and the Penguins looking to close out the series. The home crowd will be amped and the Pens are fast starters.The Sens have also scored at least 1 goal in the 1st period 6 out of their 9 playoff games this season. This is why i like the over 1.5 goals in the 1st.

BOL, boys

[amrit]

on both plays El Nino...BOL!

[El Nino]

1 goal in the 1st Period, 4 in the second.

[Dollars2Donuts]

1 goal in the 1st Period, 4 in the second.

Worst case scenario for both you and I....at least we both went bigger on Pitt regulation.

Yup, Pitt had the opportunity to get 2 in the first, then exploded in the 2nd.

1-1 +0.8u for the day.

Have you given this any more thought, Nino? I also have the Hawks to win the series along with everyone else outside Michigan, and would like to hedge..

Yep, it's not for the faint of heart...but I'm going with a gamble to break even. Play listed below.

Heavy juice on the under for both games brother. Which one to you will more than likely stay under? I'm thinking wings game. Please advise.

[nlin]

Not for the faint of heart, indeed. The hawks got us in quite the pickle.

[Smoke]

Right in the pickle tickle

GL think rangers win today

To those with CHI-series bets...

restraint...give game 5 a miss (and hope that hawks win...)...if they do...then u have a better spot to pound the Wings in the Joe

put the money u wanted to put on Wings g5 instead on fitguy's "yee haw" (Cowboy/Tex) MMA parlay...or cocoa futures...or...just absorb the series loss like a man, in stride...as a business expense financed by previous winnin's...of which plenty more will come...if we but bide our time and get our "revenge" down the line, rather than try to force it to happen now

that being said...i like the configuration of this parlay a lot (as I've come to love those "+1.5 & +1.5" close-game parlays of yours)...but I like it as an individual play on its own merit...with bet-sizing appropriate to its own merit as an independent play...

I'm not a big totals guy. 9.5% of my plays in pucks this year were on totals. That being said, I like the under 4.5 at +$ for the Kings game better than the under 5 juiced for the Wings game.

[El Nino]

Death blow!

[El Nino]

[El Nino]

Fukkin' Red Wings. I never win when I'm on them, always lose when I bet against them.

Looks like a 1-1 -1.2u night. Out for the evening.

[Dollars2Donuts]

I hope the rest of your night went better...at least your series bet has a shot now,.....super happy I just left it alone.

Yeah, it was an ok night. I got Red Wings +175 in that parlay and it closed +155 - +160ish so I feel ok. Better than losing 5 or 6u just on a straight up Red Wings play. Lost in bases. Won in UFC with some parlays and cashed Grant and Pyle as dogs. Drunk and happy, living the good life
