Is he really,seems like he's been around for ages.

Yes he is... Pens' goalie is also only like 22-23 I think

Not often would you expect to see such a matchup of young netminders in the Conf. Finals..you know

This is true,some vet goaltenders still haven't gotten to this stage. Look at Kari Lehtnon for example.

exactly...that's how the guys make name for themselves

Matt Murray is only making 550K per year right now...I have a feeling that he won't be making this salary for long

Even though I've always felt some sympathy towards San Jose, taking Blues -1.5 tomorrow!
Best of luck gentlemen! ☺

Who's thinking what for the 2nd Bolts/Pens game here?

That +180 ML on Lightning looks yummy, so does the reversed puckline at -170

Rocky - liked TB in Gm 1, but I don't see Pens faltering here and they can't afford to go down 2 games.
I like Pens in regulation OR Pens -1/2,-1...but I do like TB to win the series at +110...I may put that in just as some protection.

That being said, if you like TB, I think taking them at +2.5 (-330), though juicy, might be the way to go...perhaps in a parlay with some other sport?

Yeah man I agree with you about the Pens...I don't see TB losing this game by more than 2 goals, but minus 330 is a bit too much for my liking.
I'm gonna take half of what I've made in the first game and throw it on the reversed puckline..it's still juicy, but worth a shot imo.

Best of luck bud!

also added TB in first 60min at +284

CanuckG · 05-16-16, 09:46 AM

TB vs STL if it happens who would of expected that? Would get the lowest ratings possible.

True, but I would be very interested/excited to see that match-up.
But right - not many would.
I went to quite a few TB games when I lived in FL and dad is a HUGE Blues fan, so I follow them closely too.
Pens are my 3rd favorite team (behind Hawks #1 and Panthers #2).
Just rooting for Blues I guess.

Geez man - I am torn now. Is Bishop expected to start?

U2.5 · 05-16-16, 11:36 AM

Rocket is smart taking the value. coin toss game with a team getting ridiculous odds.

I see you point about the ridiculous odds, but they are set that way for a reason.
Pens high likelihood to win this one...anything can happen...trying to find an edge to back the Pens here without laying so much juice.

almost identical odds to game 1, and that makes it even more ridiculous.

Nah man...I don't think Bishop will be ready to play anytime soon.

Vasilevsky played good enough for me in the first game though. But obviously anything can happen here.

I heard commentators were saying the other day, that because he's so tall, he has a tendency to go down fast, so teams needs to go up high on him...we'll see if that's what Pittsburgh will try to do in game 2.

TheMoneyShot · 05-16-16, 02:08 PM

St. Louis VS Tampa Bay for the Stanley Cup.

Alright...I am waivering in this one, but I'll let you know what I played after the game. I am backing TB in some way tonight, but feel good about Pens coming up with the W.
I may call it a season after tonight if I do well...would end the season at -0.5 units, which I've recovered a lot since being down 12 units in the red a few months ago.

manny24 · 05-16-16, 02:45 PM

interest piqued with all of thre injuries to both sides

might watch the game at 39ers

unless he's home

ain't nothing wrong with being down half a unit on the year man...at least you're being good with tracking your real wagers and honest on where you at with your overall record.

best of luck tonight dude!

TheMoneyShot · 05-16-16, 03:15 PM

Sharks dominated the Dallas zone practically with 2:30 remaining when they pulled their goalie. Dallas playing a damn prevent box

That usually spells trouble. San Jose threw everything at them including the kitchen sink. Elliott said.. DENY! Guy stood on his head. Sharks are in trouble...

Thanks...might as well come out with my bets...

Pens -0.5/-1 (-155) 1.5 units to win 1 unit
TB +2.5 (-330) 1.25 units to win .4 units

Dallas?

Money, send me a few gallons of that wonder juice that you're sipping on over there comrade!

RollinDo · 05-17-16, 12:17 AM

Very hard lesson to learn tonight.
Live bets are only in regulation apparently.
I won 1.25 units by taking Pens -1/2 / -1 and TB +2.5
But then live bet Pens 3+ goals at -250, which lost be a use they didn't score 3 in reg.
So ended up losing half a unit instead of winning 1.25.
Pretty bummed because I felt I made the right plays...then screwed it up by live betting.

Jaak Varblane · 05-17-16, 01:31 AM

Took no 5th goal before the end of 2nd period.

RollinDo · 05-17-16, 06:48 AM

Going to get it back with Sharks +1.5 tonight.
2 units to win .75

Well, I went with TB +2.5 at -330 last night.
-270 is a tad better.

If I lose it, my BR will be cut by 25% from before last night's game in of my books...after last night's live bet, I was like "screw it". I can't believe I lost when I felt like I won a lot.

jjgold · 05-17-16, 09:47 AM

2-0 tonight after Blues win

POTVINSUX · 05-17-16, 12:07 PM

Thanks for the fade peck! ^

RollinDo · 05-18-16, 10:05 AM

Tough one tonight...lean on TB, but could be another OT game.
Possibly a 3-2 game here.
