Spengler Cup:
Canada -1 vs Jokerit Helsinki @ +206

[mrginandtonic]

Alot of Hockey tonight, anything to your liking?? So far, I am leaning: Boston, Islanders, Winnipeg, Phoenix and the Kings and for dogs, I like: Buffalo, Toronto, and Nashville. Thoughts??

[mrginandtonic]

I don't understand this Montreal line at all?? Why is dropping like crazy??

[mickjam42]

Doesn't seem to be any reason that has to do with injuries or something like that. Most likely that too much money was heading Carolina way, and Vegas is trying to balance it out.

[mrginandtonic]

Then, Why are people betting on Carolina?? I don't understand.

[Heinsbaek]

Great call on the Denmark game, high five!

[Snowball]

1 period ended. 0-0
playing Slovakia +3.5 -222

Spengler Cup: Canada -1 vs Jokerit Helsinki @ +206

Canada won 5-2. They were down 2-0, so I was ready to give up on the game. Nice comeback!

[mickjam42]

1 period ended. 0-0 playing Slovakia +3.5 -222

Looks like it should come in. US just can't score, Godla is standing on his head.

I'm tempted to try the draw on Canada/Finland @ +750.

Nicely done mick! Good win

Think the Habs line was dropping because they figured out today that Jordan Staal is coming back tonight

Caps - Isles (U 5.5) -115

[RollinDo]

Shoot.I have play on U 6 in TB...small though...kind of a hedge for TB -1 that I put in.

[mickjam42]

Thanks for the plays.
I decided to make a very small play ($20) on the draw to compliment the -2.5 vs Finland. At +765 I figured, what the hey.

That would be a sick payout if it hits. Nice call on earlier game so hey, use some winings to try for a big one

[mickjam42]

Damn, looks like the Under would have made a great play Canada/Finland.

[RollinDo]

Looks like a night where the more logical Unders go Over and vice-versa in nhl.

[RollinDo]

Looks like a few of us had rough goings in nhl.
Back at it tomorrow.
The Habs - Panthers looks interesting, but not sure which to side with...may go with Habs -1, Panthers +1.5
I seem to hit those lately and it's a nice payout without too much risk.

[RollinDo]

Kinda like the Blues +1 too as they may be a bit fresher after Monday's games...only thing is Blues have been average on the road while Preds are really tough at home.

Habs!! Lol Florida is actually a half decent team but I'm liking my Habs again. Tokarski probably in net tonight

I would agree with you here. Preds had a tough, hard fought loss last night in Chicago. We're uo 3-0 and end up losing in a shootout. Blues seemed to have it easier as brodeur picked up another shutout. Allen probably in net for blues tonight and I like their chances

Also think SJ might be a good pick too. Juice isn't too high so -1 in the +$

[Dollars2Donuts]

I laid $1300 on SJ tonight and I love the St. Louis pick as well.....(both posted in another thread an hour ago).

GL with the Sharks. Makes me feel a bit more confident about it now

[mickjam42]

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.

where is that information? what site?

http://www2.dailyfaceoff.com/starting-goalies/

Right now they have Price marked as 'Unconfirmed', but logic dictates that on the tail end of a back to back, Tokarski gets the nod. The one mitigating factor might be that Habs don't play again until Friday, vs NJ. Odd, because normally the Christmas trip takes them through both Panthers and Lightning.

Habs in Florida at New Years is probably the only sell-out of the year. Habs fans outnumber Panthers fans 3 to 1, easily.

Hockey Money Line

Draw (HC Davos vs Salavat Ufa) for Game.

+364

20.00

72.80

I only made a tiny bet, but +364 is always a nice payout. I also have the draw for Canada/Geneve-Servette @ +365.

It is odd to see both sides of the ML at positive juice, but that is only because of the draw option. I had to look at it twice to understand it was not a massive gaffe on the part of Pinnacle.

Follow-up: Almost got it. Finished 6-5. Unfortunately Canada lost, although the Spengler is an invisible tournament.

[cotes17]

Price played last night and Habs usually rotate goalies on b2b games unless they really need the win which they don't. Tokarski isn't half bad for a backup so I have confidence in him
