    I don't bet NHL, except playoffs and maybe 3-4 weekends during the year.

    Saw some upcoming -300 faves coming up.

    Is that pretty rare?

    I don't hink i've ever noticed any

    Rare and unless you're taking the other side, should prob stay away. Think TB is -330 or something like that tonight.

    Yeah TB is -340, when I saw that I shit my pants. I really debated if there was value in taking the Kings but instead of taking them I took a shower and put on some different clothing.

    I love to blow it on the Dodgers in those situations.

    Been know to do it here with NHL too. Would bet to win one unit on the ML and one unit on the PL. Hope to at least hit the ML, and in my diluted mind freeroll the PL.

    I think one reason this line is so high is the Kings should be selling today.

    Well I mean a nice cushion bet cashing is always pleasant. However when they go the wrong way it just sucks.

    You know who lost something like 9 hundo on Kerri Walsh's first ever Olympic loss in 2016? This guy.

    -340 NHL cushion bet?

    NO THANKS.

    Only way i'd put anything on Tampa is if I parlayed it small with Toronto and Nashville and just put the big 3 favorites in one bet. Still don't think i'd do it Depends on how much I drink today.

    Home ice means nothing in hockey

    No team should be higher than -200

    Really forces you to take the puckline in that situation or find a lean on the total. League has too much parity now to come out ahead nightly on that juice.

    -300 yeah it comes up every once awhile, like baseball

    In fact we had a similar thread last year

    I say the dog wins often in these, but b1slickguy did a SDQL query and showed the actual game historical stats which if I remember right it showed the favorite wins by far the majority of the time

    My first full season betting hockey, it's very streaky in terms of whether the dogs are hitting. Seems like 1st
    Month dogs hit consistently. Then favorites hit at an absurd rate until a week or 2 before all star break. 1st week and a half after break dogs were hitting again. Now the favorites are hitting. I suspect this will continue through the penultimate week.

    It's not rare... sort of like how in MLB... you have a hot pitcher vs a team that can't make the playoffs.

    I've seen -400 in the past.... Detroit Red Wings... Pittsburgh Penguins....

    It's crazy... that's for sure... and oddly enough... most of those games land on 1.

    Caps were highly overrated tonight and are primed to lose as 350 favs.

    Tampa was legit chalk - Caps highly highly questionable at this price and it's showing - losing to a team that has essentially thrown in the towel.
