You are a Patriots fan and a Yankees fan, and now you are on the San Jose bandwagon, too. Let me guess, your favorite basketball teams are the Celtics, Lakers, and Cavs?

LOL...-110 that he's a Jimmy Johnson fan in Feb.

This game might go over but I remember the last time I thought Vegas was crazy for a line they put out not too long ago....BAL +6

Mark Shark · 01-20-09, 10:06 AM

2.08 now at matchbook, sorry +108

Nicky Santoro · 01-20-09, 10:14 AM

unit buddy, i am pulling for you, but you must remember, in sports, there is no such thing as a lock.. it's 1 freakin game.. anything can happen in 1 game.. you can say you love the game a lot, but to say it's a 100% lock, this is not true.

even if the total was 3.5 tonight, it still wouldn't be a lock.. even if SJ were +2.5, it still would not be a lock.. this game can end Van 3-0, or van 2-1..

Just look at NCAAB.. a few weeks ago, a 24.5 pt fav lost by a few pts.. Lakers as a 15.5 pt fav lost by 10 at home to SAC i believe. now if you had Lakers that day at +9.5, you'd be saying it's a lock and you'd lose.

Unit buddy, it's 1 game.. no such thing as a lock.

I know what your saying Nicky, but im a risk taker, thats why I gamble...

element1286 · 01-20-09, 12:37 PM

I don't think either side is playable.

English Bloke · 01-20-09, 03:52 PM

I've only been following NHL for about 1/2 a season and some nights its a lottery. I would have more luck pulling names out of a hat.

Caps 0 Blue Jackets 3 really took the biscuit a couple of weeks ago.

All the best though, it's nice to see real conviction and passion for a prediction.

wild willy · 01-20-09, 04:00 PM

This is for every one with a LOCK Why dont you guys call it a BLOCK thats what ends up happening. We listen and your lock witch blocks us from geeting paid.

VegasDave · 01-20-09, 04:17 PM

I love that because Luongo has struggled/played poorly in his 1st two games back from injury, he "can't stop a basketball from going in the net". Luongo is one of the best goaltenders in the game, and I wouldn't count him out so quickly. Also, the Sharks have the 3rd best GAA in the league... even if they do net 4 on Luongo, if the Canucks have indeed "sucked shit" lately as unit gracefully puts it, how can you count on them to score against a shutdown SJ team?

The BIGGEST FKN NHL LOCK EVER relies on one of the league's best goaltenders having his 3rd straight poor game, and an average offense putting up goals on a very tough defense. Yeah, sounds like the easiest lock in the history of the game. I'm not saying it won't hit, I'm just saying it isn't THAT epic of a play.

Also, unit, why not just play the Sharks -1.5? From your write up you make it sound like the Sharks are going to crush the Canucks and go over in the process. 4 - 2, 5 - 2, etc. Why not just take the +140 if you feel that strongly about an easy Sharks victory, and you don't get burned if it ends up 4 - 0, 4 - 1, etc?

Wayfarer · 01-20-09, 04:30 PM

Nothing is a lock but I see this as a strong play myself, particularly when you can get a price close to even money.

My best guess on the outcome of the game would be the sharks winning either 4-3 or 5-4 with the game quite possibly going to OT.

That is a silly theory. Why should one pass on their best plays?

With that being said one must also be sure to not blow their wad by betting to large when such a play come ups.

AMBlai01 · 01-20-09, 05:13 PM

Sharks haven't been playing all that well at home lately. They have beaten some bad teams barely and actually lost in regulation recently for the first time in about a year. Vancouver hasn't played well in their last 2 but they were really hot before that. This game is not as easy in any direction...I could easily see a 2-1 final either direction.

Definitely a no play for me....

unit1884 · 01-20-09, 10:10 PM

Im guessing a 4-3 or 4-2 final

swagger ISH · 01-20-09, 10:13 PM

i actually just bet a parlay on the over and moneyline sharks lets ****in go sirs

meaning the sharks can get fired up only against the red wings?

even if you were informed statistically would you call this over or under ?

cmon theres gotta be a way to dice this without bleeding yourself dry !!

another lock which fails

Not yet, there is still a period to be played. But looks like AMBy's prediction of around 2 - 1 either way is looking a lot more realistic right now.

unit1884 · 01-21-09, 12:20 AM

Luongo is playing shutdown hockey right now, hopefully my Canucks -1.5 will hit, since he already screwed my under...

Ryangene · 01-21-09, 12:22 AM

that magic "L" word. Sharks have not been themselves at all the past couple of weeks. They have hurt my bankroll considerably the last couple of weeks.

Canucks -1.5? Do you mean Sharks -1.5?

unit1884 · 01-21-09, 12:35 AM

nope, I took Nucks -1.5 +485

ANDYW15 · 01-21-09, 12:54 AM

I hope the Canucks lose this game now, they haven't ventured out of neutral ice for 2.5 quarters. 1-1 was inevitable

unit1884 · 01-21-09, 12:55 AM

Yup, nucks are not in the right mindset to win this game, and if it goes to a shootout, well you know how much the nucks suck in that...

DennisGreen · 01-21-09, 01:02 AM

Good effort Canucks but we shoulda closed the deal on that one.

ANDYW15 · 01-21-09, 01:02 AM

2-1 Sharks - Justice. The only team who wanted to win all night.

DennisGreen · 01-21-09, 01:04 AM

LOL @ only team that wanted to win. Canucks played hard tonight and tried to hold off the impending onslaught of the best team in the league by trapping Devils style. They definitely shoulda had more than 8 shots though that is pretty bad I agree with you on that.

OK maybe a bit strong lol, but they played too deep too early. Sharks were there for the taking tonight.

So in your original post you talk about how Luongo can't stop a basketball and the Canucks suck shit, and then a few posts later you say you are guessing a 4 - 3 or 4 - 2 final (obviously in favor of the Sharks)...

Then you say you bet the CANUCKS -1.5?

Ah well. I don't wish losing money on anyone; hope you didn't lose too much on this game, whatever you actually did bet.

unit1884 · 01-21-09, 01:06 AM

That was a cheap win, bogus penalty in OT

unit1884 · 01-21-09, 01:07 AM

I figured if the canucks were going to win, it would be Luongo with a great performance, it was some insurance...

Had a good chance to win...
