    It's a tossup. No way of knowing what will happen. The last 3 scores have been, 12-11, 8-7, and 12-9. I also like Team Stall to win. The NBA should really adopt what the NHL did yesterday with the Fantasy draft.

    Over is the only play...no question about it.

    I watched the Fantasy Draft last night and it was pretty cool. Only thing I didn't like was the drafting of "my boys". Most of the teammates are together (besides Sedin's and Thomas/Chara). I like Team Lindstrom in this one. They have Thomas, Stamkos, all of Chicago...

    That's pretty solid drafting if you ask me. Ending up with Keith/Kane/Toews on the same team is DIRTY! Not to mention they have the leading point scorer (Stamkos) and the clear-cut best goaltender (Thomas).

    Steal of the draft was Anze Kopitar for Lidstrom...he went much deeper than I thought.

    Easy, Team Lidstrom wins. His draft was well thought out. Better d-men, better goalies, better offence. Win.

    Go look at the All-Star scores for the last 40 years and how many times does 17 or over hit?.....about 7 times

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa..._All-Star_Game


    The game has changed...but the goalies do have some pride.....teams will play even strength unless the refs lose their minds

    im loving the over this should be too easy. give a pro time to aim (aka no defense ) and they score more often then not

    Either way, it's like watching a completely different sport. Looks like a bunch of teenagers playing in a no body-contact league.

    under. seeing how fast players were eliminated in the elimination challenge, add to that the best defense in the league right now. there'll be some goals, but not 17. I like team lidstrom too

    i feel so bad for the NHL.. is bettman that stupid to schedule this game at 4 pm EST?? he's going head to head against the greatest game you can think of besides the superbowl.. the celtics vs lakers on ABC, the repeat of last years final. .. come on gary.. use your head.. no one is watching this game except people in canada and 12 other americans in total.

    You could have scheduled this game at 6 pm, closer to prime time, like the NBA all star gametime..

    Yet another retarded quote...

    If you aren't a hockey fan, the only reason you're even looking at this thread because you want to make a bet, and have no ^&%$@ idea of what to pick.

    Bet, don't bet, I could care less - but making statements like this gets you the d.o.u.c.h.e. award of the year.

    To add some sense to the game - these games are usually a crap shoot.

    Goalies only play one period each, so a team is only as good as the third period goalie. Also, there's less physical play, so there tends to be more scoring than there used to be.

    17 goals is the same as one period of 5, followed by 6 each in the two remaining periods. That's a goal every 3 1/2 minutes. Although ambitious, it's possible.

    My advice is to play it "live" if you have the option. You'll know in the first 5-6 minutes if it's going to go over or not.

    As for the team, I'd take team Lidstrom. Staal's team won the skills challenge, but the Lidstrom team is the better all-around team.
