tokarski confirmed, you were right.

[cotes17]

Panthers aren't half-bad. Some good veteran presence and Luongo backstopping makes for a team that loses more than they win, but rarely get blown out.

Yeah but Luongo struggles against Habs. 1-6 3.03 GAA in last 7 vs habs

[DigBick86]

Today

Habs ml +103 $100 to win $103
Blues ml +126 $100 to win $126
Sharks -1 +116 $100 to win $116

Hard games tonight nothing i really like gonna tail you on the blues

[mickjam42]

Would have been nice to start out the day with that win!

Have a draw play on Swiss/Denmark @ 489 as well. Tie with 4 minutes left, fingers crossed!

Update: Nailed it!

Also put a bit on Slovakia/Germany draw @ +504, and the Under 6 @ +102. I like Germany's D, hope they can hold it low and close.

Tokarski was SOLID tonight. Miscommunication on the goal with under 2 mins left in the game but he came through on the shootout

[jeffy777]

Good luck

[RollinDo]

Tough games indeed.
Got a lot riding on this last game.
Have Sharks +1 in a parlay and Under 5.5 (-140)
Should be a fairly low scoring game but 3 goals in a 4 minute stretch early in 2nd might hurt.

[RollinDo]

Still scratching my head about Habs odds to win East.
Now at +600 and they just keep winning...I know TB is too, but I like Montreal ' s chances.
I layed down $5 to win $28 on Habs...and will continue to back them...was going to tonight again, but did Panthers +1 in a parlay with Colts ML and Sharks +1...didn't work out too well there.
Wed. will have a couple plays on Hurricanes TT (U 2.5) and Oilers TT (U 2.5)
Leans on Anaheim ML and TB-Buff (Over 5.5)...and I rarely play Overs.

When your backup wins you a game, it's gravy on the biscuits. Now I assume they're back home to relax, then off to NJ on Friday, where they can definitely notch another W.

Not sure why you don't have Pens in your equation as well. They are at +550. Isles sit at 49 points, Tied with Pens, and are +800.

Clearly Tampa at +350 are the faves, probably for good reason. But for now, Habs are atop the East, and I see no reason why they cannot continue the ride.

Not sure which sportsbook you are getting those from Mick, but 5Dimes has Pens +330, Isles +525, TB +550, Habs +600

Yep. If I had a favorite team in the East it would be Pens...always liked them since days of Lemeiux and Jagr.
But I am becoming a fan of Montreal this year...maybe because they win for me
Definitely a Hawks fan though...living in Chicago.

Funny how books can differ so widely. These are from Sports Interaction.

If Pens was +500 or better, I'd jump on them.
I can't believe Nashville is still +1000 to win the Western Conf...but I'd rather bet single games with them...the Western Conf is so wide open with really really good teams near the top.

[RollinDo]

I think Anaheim at -135 is a nice price for a team that has been great at home the past couple years and Sharks have not been scoring much lately - b2b for them.
My big plays today will be Carolina TT (U 2.5) and Edmonton TT (U 2.5)

[John Deere]

Are we playing Canada today? Looking good imo

[mickjam42]

I would tend to go ML before -1, but the juice is a bit high @ -127. Not sure which way to go. Might even put some change on draw @ +387; I think it will be a very tight game.

I am also contemplating Swiss +2 @ +118, Russia -2 @ +109, and Germany/Finland Under 6 @ -113.

Still can't believe Germany/Finland is the marquee matchup over Canada/US. Nice job, schedule makers.

[cotes17]

Absolutely playing Canada today!!

[cotes17]

Canada -1 +111 $200 to win $222

[mickjam42]

Just pulled the trigger on -1 as well. Hedged with a play on the draw @ +385 as well.

Go Canada go!

[eddycash]

dumb q: world juniors?

[eddycash]

im lost , canada is who? lol

[John Deere]

im lost , canada is who? lol

Yeah IIHF World Junior under 20. Start at 4PM ET.

BOL all, i'm on CAN also!

An other solid play for tonight is NYR ML, Back to back for Panthers and Al montoya in net.

[Bedard]

Here's what I lean toward for tonight nhl schedule :

NYI vs WPG (NYI) 1,90
Over 5.5 TOR vs BOS 1,90
ARZ vs DAL (ARZ) 2,55
Over 5,5 PHI vs COL 1,86
Over 5,5 EDM vs CGY 2,00

What do you guys think?

[mickjam42]

Well, that was an awesome period of hockey!

[eddycash]

i missed it damn

[mickjam42]

Who would've thought Tie Domi's kid could be such an offensive threat?


Update: 8:15 whistle-free to start the 3rd. This is the best hockey tournament in the world!

Update: I repeat, who knew Domi could be an offensive threat? That was an amazing 60 minutes of hockey!

[RollinDo]

Have a Happy New Year guys.
Not gonna let tonight get me down...was the most confident I had been in a while.
1-4 with big play on Oilers TT (U 2.5) which just lost...they had only scored 3 or more goals 2 times this month.
Anaheim was ready to party too early too.

[Filiferous]

How do you guys like Chicago -1 for the winter classic?

[RollinDo]

I put in small wager on Hawks ML (-123) and seriously contemplating Under 5.5

[cotes17]

Hey guys sorry had a crazy busy day yesterday and couldn't make any NHL bets. What a game Canada played yesterday. Like you said Mick, Domi is some force out there, great to watch that line play. Happy New Years and hope everyone had a good one!!

[cotes17]

Past 2 days

2-2 +$125

ytd: 160-134-22 +$3,895

[cotes17]

With it being the winter classic today, don't think you can really give either team a big advantage so I think i'll be going with the Caps at +$ here

[cotes17]

Today

Caps ml +127 $100 to win $127
