Something to note that Bruins play leafs tonight which are almost always tough games and leafs usually have a decent game. Then Bruins play habs on Thursday in b2b games. Hoping they'll be tired after the tough leafs game and should be a good spot for the habs again

[mickjam42]

Like the Over in Bruins tonight, but that would be all.

I'm going with over and hate to say it but I have a hunch for the leafs tonight

[cotes17]

Today

Leafs ml +112 $100 to win $112
Leafs/Bruins O5.5 +108 $100 to win $108

[mickjam42]

Nice calls, Cotes. I could not pull the trigger on Laffs; I have no confidence in their abilities. What gave you the hunch you mentioned?

[RollinDo]

What should we expect from Bruins tonight?
On a b2b lose 2 straight?
I'm not well versed on how very good teams perform in nhl after a slaughter yet on a b2b.

Thanks man, no real idea just had a feeling. I find the leafs try to play the same type of game as the bruins and if they can beat them at their own game, it think it gives them a huge boost of confidence. The game are usually high scoring like we said so that was a no brainer for me but the leafs are usually on the top of their game against the bruins. To add to it, the bruins haven't been the greatest this year, struggling a bit unlike previous years. Their goaltending hasnt been top notch either and i think this is just proving how much a guy like Chara can make a drastic difference in your team

Personally, i think bruins will get hammered again tonight. Different for all teams on back to back games and how they come back the second day but i think the bruins will be out of gas after the ass whooping by the leafs. Habs should win this one and i'll definitely be on them. As I mentioned before, without Chara there, this is a completely differnet bruins team. They dont have the guy they can send out against every top scoring opponent and shut them down with no problem, and play like ~25 ish mins a game. Now those minutes are spread around to guys like Seidenberg and Hamilton who arent used to playing top minutes against top guys every single game. Go Habs Go!

Ok.
My leans for today are:
Habs ML...don't fail me guys!
TB ML...but I like Sharks +1 at a decent price too!
Ott-Edm (U 5.5)
SJ - TB (O 5.5)
Preds - Blues (U 5)
Jets TT (U 2.5)

[cotes17]

So far in liking

Habs
Sharks
Sens
Jets

[RollinDo]

TB 6-1-1 at home
SJ 6-4-2 on road.
I guess Sharks present good value, but think Lightning keep wins coming at home...wish it were -130 though instead of -140...not a good price IMO.

Yeah I'm liking the Sharks for the same reason you said. Good team, good on the road and good value

Habs -1 +150 $200 to win $300
Jets ml +101 $100 to win $101
Sens ml -113 $113 to win $100

[Jayvegas420]

Good luck. Love the sens, hate taking the habs vs. a Chara"less" powerhouse.

[mickjam42]

No confirmation on Rask tonight, but he was not in the morning skate, so I imagine he will get the nod. Krejci out as well. Bruins seem a tad thin. I see them trying to slow down Habs tonight, maybe try to goon it up a bit and neutralize the Habs speed. They are not afraid of Habs PP, obviously.

Hopefully the Bruins take some dumb penalties tonight and the habs can break out of their PP slump. Habs speed will be too much for Bruins D to handle

Thanks JV

GL to you too buddy

[cotes17]

Bruins are careless with penalties like I assumed but habs haven't got it together yet. At least they got a penalty shot goal!

[cotes17]

Habs starting to outplay the Bruins D now. 3-1!!!

[cotes17]

WOW Svedberg SAVED their ass big time on that last PP

[Jayvegas420]

Nice picks again Cote!

[mickjam42]

Sweet night, Cotes. I also took the Over on Sens/Isles, but cancelled it out on Sharks/Tampa Over.

Thanks

That's too bad. Though Tampa/sharks would have hit over. Apparently I should have went with my initial feeling on the Sharks too

What a night!
That was my worst so far this season...BUT I finally got my 1st Habs win!
Had a good size play on Edmonton Under...my capping has been off lately on Unders.
Also didn't expect Jets to score 3...had them Under 2.5...had been a while since they scored 3 and Hurricanes had given up less than 3 is 5 of last 6.
Also played a rare Over (SJ-TB)...not even close!

Tonight 3 plays I like are Detroit +1, Philly ML (in a parlay), and Zona TT (U 2.5), and hopefully I'll get this one...
Isles-Panthers (U 5.5).

Not many killing it in nhl so far...think I'll stay on this thread for a while!
Cool thread...cool guys...I should be winning right???
Nice job again bud!

Thanks man
Your welcomed on this thread as long as you'd like! With everyones insight, I'm sure we can continue a good season. Finally habs were good to you last night, took long enough but hey, better late than never

Detroit +1 might be worth a shot, they have been playing very good at home this year. I'm not very good at TT but with how Miller has been playing, that looks like its a pretty good bet.

today im liking the pens, caps and islanders

[mickjam42]

Cotes, I wonder if you have an opinion on Als Sunday. I lean the Under, I just think D will rule the game.

Hope like hell the Als win too, but that's not really a capping angle.

I would agree with you there on the Under. Both D's are very good and I'd expect a lower scoring game. I would take the under before I'd take the Als tho, hard to pick them especially at -3

[cotes17]

Today

Pens -1 +128 $100 to win $128
Caps -1 +104 $100 to win $104
Islanders ml -112 $112 to win $100

Pardon my ignorance, but who are the Als?

Caps one of those teams I tail you and they sputter.
Going with Pens though with betpoints...tough game that I wouldn't be surprised went to OT.
Detroit +1 still my top play and like the Under 5.5 in that one too.

[cotes17]

Montreal alouettes CFL lol
