Boston Bruins -120 Tonight!

[VegasDave]

Wow! Talk about an overreaction from game 2!

Boston dominated this series in the regular season handily. Two 4-2 wins, two 5-1 wins. They dominated game one, but then dropped game two.

After five straight wins against Carolina and five straight wins in the playoffs, Boston was due to have an off game. The Lakers just lost at home to the Rockets, didn't they? These things happen.

I'm not taking anything away from Carolina. They are a feisty, gritty team and Cam Ward is a great playoff goaltender. They have a lot of guys from the core that won them the cup a few years ago, and they aren't the type of team to go down without a fight.

All that said, Boston matches up perfectly with these guys. Both teams roll deep scoring lines, both teams rely on great goaltending, Boston plays the same brand of hockey better.

Moneyline -120, Puckline +250, this is a severe overreaction. Yes, I know, Nicky Curse, blah blah. This isn't baseball, I've been pretty spot on in these playoffs so far. Take a stab on Boston.

Thanks for burying us Boston backers there, VD.

Now Carolina is going to rattle of 3 more and tidy this series up in 5.

Please find a Bruins hat and wear it inside out and backwards for the next hour to 'reverse the curse'.

Thanks Dave, I believe your innocence but I also believe in curses. Look at the Cubs man, we don't want to end up like that. 'Reverse the curse' VD, it worked for the Red Sox.

Please don't pick the Canucks anymore either Dave.
Can you start a thread tomorrow about how the Blackhawks will bounce back and the Canucks won't be be able to handle their speed, and eventually Chicago is going to score the first 2 goals. If Boston loses tonight you owe me that much.

Thanks Dave

PS: Do You Even Bet These Games?

PPS: I read your baseball video thread...

PPS: I wanna kiss that chick in your avatar and wait 3 dates before I have sex with her.

This same silly thread could have been started about Detroit last night. How quickly gamblers forget.

[Thor4140]

Where does this jinx laden fuk post his games? I don't want to be on any of them either. I saw Nicky last year Jinx some guy named Lionsfan and the freakin LIons went 0-16. Think the kid quit posting and might have taken his, ahhh im not gonna go there.

What is this overreaction you speak of? Standard HIA adjustment.

HIA?

Home Ice Advantage. It's huge in hockey.

Bruin goal, 1-0

[Matt Rain]

Home Ice Advantage. It's huge in hockey.

Unlike home ice advantage in soccer - home or away, everybody falls on their ass equally cause no one brought a pair of skates.

Just wanted to clarify that point. Go Bruins.

Reverse the Curse! Reverse the Curse!

Milan Lucic scored it too. Vancouver kid. Played for the Vancouver Giants (WHL Junior)

Sheesh, I should've been able to figure that out. I've never seen it abbreviated like that before. Thanks for filling me in, Matt.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU(((((((((((((((((((((((KKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK...

Just like Sammy jinxed the Chelsea play, VD jinked the Bruins. Will you guys stop posting your picks.

[crisp]

dave is not a pro.

[VegasDave]

Sorry to "jinx" this pick guys. Very frustrating this one didn't hit.

You should probably blame the two terrible turnovers by Boston in their own zone that led to goals instead of me, though. I didn't personally give the game away.

[Flyers09]

thanks VD, i only played first half ML though....do us a favor and stop posting picks,plz

The loss had nothing to do with the Nicky Curse. The loss happened because Nicky played it up as a strong play.
