As I have told many of you before about the NHL

[stevek173]

There is a tremendous gap between the top NHL teams and the bottom teams, i. e. the Washingtons of the world vs. the Oilers.

That being said there is a VERY SMALL gap between the top teams and the good teams -- i. e. the NHL playoffs so far.

So for handicapping purposes to read between the lines...

Reg season - bomb 1.5 goal lines on lopsided matchups

Playoffs - bomb dogs, doesn't seem to matter home or away.

I caught the 1st part in stride.

Getting hammered by not catching the 2nd sooner.

My 2 cents, gl all.

very true steve. a team like montreal now healthy is better than buffalo who is a 3 seed. Each Capital home game they should be -215 and each game in Montreal the Caps should be -135.............not -315 and -200

lines also get over inflated from public perception
"Pens have to win this game" etc..

[exstatman]

Of course, the Sharks won a "must win" game tonight.

[Extra Innings]

Detroit looked hopeless but it all ended well no matter how you played it

lines also get over inflated from public perception
"Pens have to win this game" etc..

this is true for all "public" teams regardless of the sport - Yankees, Cowboys, Lakers...

+1.5 Puck Line has been tremendous so far
