Ducks vs RedWings

[Immortality]

I will be at the Ducks game tonight. Does my team have any chance to beat the Wings tonight?

I placed a small bet on the Ducks at home at +148. I am a homer like TSoprano

[element1286]

They sure do, Wings are pretty mediocre on the road, especially their pk. Would be a decent bet.

[blittydeuce]

Go Ducks!

Not disagreeing but from what I've seen of Anaheim even if the Wings play a mediocre game it should still be enough to beat the Ducks.

Wings for me.

I didn't play either side, I had it at Ducks +155, my line was closer to the Ducks than to the Wings.

+148 is a good bet in my books.

The Red Wings are a great team but overrated on the road which often leads to them being inflated favorites allowing for some decent home dog bets such as the Ducks tonight.

Best of luck!

I'm on Pitt tonight as well as Ottawa, 2/3 or better would be nice.

GL, Pens went to a 1-2-2 trap last night against Philly, and it worked pretty well, they look ok tonight, but have not been disciplined enough.

The only play I had was Chi/Buf under, so we shall see how that turns out.

detroit wins this

Interesting game, no opinion on the sides for me, but I did take the over 5.5 +100.

I could make arguments for over & under in this game and by default I'm an under player, so I'll play only the Wings.

What's the case for the under?

The Ducks, you can never count on them to score goals.

^^
You can when Osgood plays like poo I like him (has won 2 cups) but he can be quite inconsistent.

This would give me such a nice night (already had Chi -1.5 and Ottawa)...c'mon Detroit...bail out ya goalie!

[pico]

man....red wings down a goal. not looking good

[allwater334]

Pico, have u been watching this game...Redwings should be up ATLEAST 1 goal right now..I know they arent so SHOULD BE doesnt count but when the final buzzer sounds Detroit will win this game..I wish I knew where I could bet a "live" bet on this right now

[Axis]

2 goals in 21 seconds...wow. I may have had to stay up a little later for this, but it's been a good game so far.

Keep it up WINGS!

[Hip Hip Huet]

This is a great game. Cleary gave me the over/under win!

3 cups you nit wit, 2 himself behind the pipes.

He made a great save late in the third, he was average for most of the game, the team in front of him is still very good.

Actually they are a great team to bet on, they never seem to disappoint and can generate offence quickly.

[cobra_king]

Those cups were won in spite of Osgood.

Ya you're right....

15th all time in regular season wins...
8th all time in playoff shut-outs...
24th all time in GAA...

[Immortality]

Even though my bet and my team lost, it was a great game. The game winning goal sure looked like it was batted down by a high stick. But I just got home and they didn't have a good replay of it in the arena. I need to see a replay.

What is your guys opinion of it. Was it a legit goal?

I saw it, legit goal.

The Ducks had some chances and played with some determination but the Wings are soooo much more skilled than Anaheim, Ducks played well against a better team.

[Deuce]

Clearly below the bar.

[cobra_king]

And when he didn't play on those Red Wing powerhouse teams?

Lost his job in Detroit the first time he was there.
Islanders wanted no part of him after two seasons.
Absolutely run out of St. Louis after just one season because he was so inconsistent.
Red Wings were had such little confidence in him last year that he sat while 87 year old Hasek started the playoff run and only turned to him when it was clear Hasek had zero left.

Those stats mean nothing. Goalies from the 1980's are in the Hall of Fame with numbers worse than his. The era he played in and the quality Red Wing teams he played for have skewed his numbers.

You're right, he is the starting net minder for the best team in the league. No confidence there.

Cool. makes me feel better that I didn't lose on a bad call. Yes the Ducks had their chances. They just do not have enough skill players anymore. Selanne out really hurts and the defense is not what it was a few years ago. They are giving up way too many goals this year.

[cobra_king]

Pointless talking to a homer.

When another team runs the table the way the Wings have in the past decade, lets talk other teams hockey.

Did i state anywhere the Wings weren't a good team? They have won in spite of their goaltending, which clearly shows how good a team they have been for a long time. Never was questioning their talent or successes.......just Osgood, which clearly the Wings have a few times before as well.

I have to agree with Cobra, his points are valid, Deuce didn't help his argument with this gem:

"he is the starting net minder for the best team in the league. No confidence there."

Fact is Wings are scary good, both on defense and offence, I could play goal for them and they would still win.

[DennisGreen]

Osgood is a below par goaltender overall. Put him on a bad team and see how he does. Guaranteed he is sent to the minors or a backup his whole career. Anyone who truly follows the game knows he has been blessed with being in a fortunate situation with a powerhouse team that usually allows 15-20 shots a game. If I could describe him in one word its OVERRATED.
