I have been looking at this ST/MIN game as well -

Agree on the Under, but was leaning towards MIN for the game --- any system or reasons behind it, seems to be a tough call on that one.

The Wild have been playing very well as of late -

Spinman - Good chance at a tie in this game in what should be a defensive game but my system was calling for the Blues which was strange because I get very few large favorites out of it. Not real confident but thought I would parlay with UNDER so if th game ties I can still win another unit on UNDER.

B@G-Should have looked closer at your avatar and I would have known you were a hockey guy. Just assumed from Pit-black and gold was for steelers and cuz you post in fb too. Anyway, you are showing where your talents lie. Nice work! (Huge Steelers fan myself btw-so that alone makes you ok in my book) GL tomorrow

Jay - Thanks very much. I am black & gold through and through with all of our lousy sports teams!

Doing well in all sports but with college football a close second, hockey has been a huge money-maker. To be up 40 units playing a max of 3 per game at this point of the season is exciting for me. Going to shut-up now before I jinx anything. Thanks for the compliment!

2-0-1 +4.91U (Calling the parlay a tie and adding in the .91U winnings)

Nice work again --- I can't believe I did it, but I went through the game again - and switched it to St Louis - (3rd game on road was the factor) ---

Still think it was the right call though - should teach me to stick with my gut - but probably not.

Spin - that game was screaming tie before the puck was dropped. Tough to lay the 1/2 puck and tough to play a beefy moneyline. The under was the play and I escaped that parlay because Minny had the best scoring chances down the stretch. Let me know who you are taking tonight.

B&G -

Have not finalized anything as of yet - but here is what I was looking at:

TB/OTT - Under
STL -.5
STL/CAR - Under
COL -.5 (although that is a very heavy favorite at -220, so I will have to think on that one

Thoughts?? Any games jump out at you that I did not see?

Spinman - We are on the same page tonight, don't change your mind!! The only one I have no opinion is ST. Louis, the other three are my plays tonight. Very ironic but also hopefully a good sign. I am going to parlay Colorado with the two totals instead of laying those odds.
