If chicago scores first, the game is over. The hawks are in Loungo's head. Hell, they are in all their heads...

magynuck · 04-26-11, 07:20 AM

looking forward to enjoying the game

Ace_of_Spades · 04-26-11, 07:20 AM

No way. Hawks clearly with the momentum.

obamaismyuncle · 04-26-11, 07:21 AM

Canucks will win

BIGDAY · 04-26-11, 07:25 AM

I like Chicago.

BuckeyeT · 04-26-11, 07:43 AM

This game is far from a lock.

Yes the Canucks can win but anything can happen in a game 7.

No way would i go all in on this game.

ApricotSinner32 · 04-26-11, 07:43 AM

You such thing as a lock guy

obamaismyuncle · 04-26-11, 07:44 AM

gold is making one of my lock threads here, and letting others cap the game for him. he's either gonna play the Blackhawks or nothing..

crjohnson32 · 04-26-11, 07:53 AM

I'm on the Canucks for 10% of my BR. Line opened at -162, is now at -166. I'm 0-3 my last 3 NHL plays so this could be serious fade material.

A loss could set back Vancouver hockey for 20 years
They are due for a strong game and win like 3-1, 4-2

How much are you in for? What did you get in at? I wouldn't risk more than 20% of my BR on this the way Chicago has played, I'm in on it for 10%, which is still more than my typical bet.

mrpooh · 04-26-11, 08:02 AM

The only lock is Hawks TT over 2.5
Did you see how Lou played in overtime on sunday? He is in the tank, and he can't even handle a puck anymore. Lots of rebound chances today. If the Sedin's wake up Van can win, but if they do, they will need 4+ goals to do so.

Brewers in 7 · 04-26-11, 08:03 AM

Vancouver is the better team by far, the goalie who is supposed to be the best in the game is playing dreadful right now, if Vancouver scores 1st theyll romp tonight.. but if they dont......

bostonbruins · 04-26-11, 08:05 AM

Will be a 1 goal game, OT maybe

Frattimore · 04-26-11, 08:07 AM

nopeeeee

Don't try to convince yourself this is an all in play, because it's not. In fact if you ask me there's no such thing as an all in play if you practice good BR management. I've lost 3 plays in a row, but in total that only accounts for under 25% of my BR. Some people lose 3-4 games in a row and lose their entire BR

LChruscial85 · 04-26-11, 08:15 AM

I don't get how you can even think this game is a lock when Chicago has won the last 3 straight?! I like Vancouver to do the job, but there's better games to bet out there! No way in hell this game is a lock JJ! GL with your picks brother!

crjohnson32 · 04-26-11, 08:21 AM

Nice avatar LChruscail85! Who are the Bills picking on thursday?

Vindicate · 04-26-11, 08:28 AM

quality logic.

Hawks win 3 in a row

Vancouver is a lock

d2bets · 04-26-11, 08:43 AM

Seems more like a lock to lose. Like the Yankees against the Red Sox or the Cubs against the Marlins. Vancouver looks defeated already.

Slovakhockey · 04-26-11, 08:48 AM

I think the OVER is lock

General Custer · 04-26-11, 08:49 AM

Hawks got the experience playing in big games last year. Kane with the game winner in late 3rd/OT. Going to be a crippling loss for canucks fans

Can you please explain why you think this?

PuckOff · 04-26-11, 08:53 AM

I hope Vancouver wins, but I think it's going to be a tough one for them. The Sedins need to start playing hockey.

cloudagh · 04-26-11, 08:53 AM

Now that the lock word was used, I think I have to stay away from this game.

PuckOff · 04-26-11, 08:59 AM

Tough game to call for sure Cloudy.

Rio DiNero · 04-26-11, 09:03 AM

Hawks have all the momentum, I wouldn't lay all the chalk on Vancouver with your money JJ.

Wulfman14 · 04-26-11, 09:06 AM

i like the canucks to win but i wouldnt bet on them at this price . if the line were -145 or something maybe. no chance of that though.

Dabeergod · 04-26-11, 09:11 AM

Rolling with my hometown streaking Hawks in this one.

seeing if they don't know how to draft I can't even make an educated guess....I'm hoping Von Miller, but knowing us Buffalo Fans we will be disappointed because they will take AJ Green or some crap lol and nothing against Green or Spiller from last year, but they aren't a need of this team...we need some one who can pass rush. I would suggest a QB too to sit behind Fitzpatrick for a year, but with the 3rd overall pick, I don't think it's worth it unless they trade down and get more later round picks

I mostly agree although I would prefer a run stuffer at #3. I think the front office should just identify the weakest part of the team and draft someone who can address that ASAP. That could be either rush defense or pass rush, as long as they start by week 1. The only thing that would really piss me off is if they draft a QB at #3. No one in this years QB class is good enough to start and with all the holes in this team the last thing we need is someone holding a clip board on the sideline.

Von Miller, JJ Watt, Marcel Dareus, Robert Quinn, maybe Patrick Peterson

I made a decision on Sunday night that I would bet either side of -150 - I thought the Canucks should be -150 - if they were less I was on them, over and I am on Hawks. Vancouver was what, -220 in game 5? Something like that. From a pure value standpoint - seems like Hawks are way to go. Both of Canuck's goalies are hurt. That being said - when you watch the games - which I have seen every minute of - you just can't understand why Vancouver isn't winning. Even in OT on Sunday - Canucks had something like 16 shots on goal - and yet Hawks win with a goal from a guy practically laying on the ice. It doesn't make sense - but I think getting +140 on a team that is clearly in the head of the goalkeepers - and playing with literally nothing to lose - hard to pass that up!!!

regardless of which side of the line you bet, it's never an all in play, the OP can quote me on that even if Vancouver wins, since I'm on the Canucks too.
