October summary to follow
===========
A half dozen doggies....Can't decide which I view as best overall, so I'm laying same big $12 on each.
The Stars and Kings selections will also compose my 2Teamer O' Day play for November 1
MIGHTY STARS +133 at Bear
See yesterday's notes about Dallas with Turco playing After game(s) off.
Add in a very nice scheduling role for Dallas (Away After Away with 0daysrest) where they are 14-6 over past two seasons and we like them to bump the Bruins who are returning from a far west Canadian roadie.
STINKING PANTHER + 152 at Predator
Hate to ride against normally reliable HNIC correspondent VIC VICTORY, but I pinched him twice last week with Totals and hope I can snatch a bit of his Ching again here. I promise to put it to good use if so.
Florida in a good spot for them, which is playing Away After a Home game. Preds meanwhile, get the higher price due to their consistent home play of past three years but wait, they only Allowed 1 goal in past game. The last 30 times the Predators Allowed 1orless goals they won the next game just 11 times. This one has what looks to be a good shot for 8+ goals so we might add the Over 5.5 before tonight's drop.
BOLT -120 vs Senator
Here comes the Lightning. Despite their desultory work product the past 1 1/2 seasons, tonight they're in a spot that is triple nice for them.
a) Playing Home After Away - TB 11-11 since last season here, and 22-20 going back two years. Not amazing until we compare to their overall W/L percentage in same era.
b) After Scoring 5+ goals - TB 16-15 past 2+ seasons here...again a nice edge compared to overall W/L
c) After Away Win - While most teams tend to be flat or below .500 in this role, Bolts are 21-13 in past 2+ seasons.
In short, they have been able to put together two and three game spurts when these variables combine and tonight looks like a good spot versus an Ottawa team that has not won three in a row on the road since early December 2007.

HAWK +100 at Jacket
Hate to go against fellow Puckster SHERWOOD, but we're just not buying the "Jackets are up and coming" rap which has been fed to us in varying size spoonfuls since Ken Hitchcock took over the reins almost two years ago.
Chicago coming off a 5+ goal outing has won 12 of 22 going back 2+ seasons.
Meanwhile, CBus After playing a 4+ goal performance on the road has seen 12 of 16 fall by the wayside. And if they're coming off a 2+ goal road win, they're 2-6 in next game since Koach Ken took over in Dec 2006
------
KING +115 vs Fire
Calgary enters with a nice hot streak in which they are +11 in Scoring Marging past five games. That's the best SM they've had in over two years, with the one other time being a +12 which fell the first time they had a roadie. What Flames are being asked to do is set an almost 3 year best scoring margin mark, on the road, while giving up -135. Give us the Kings who are a nice even 11-11 in past 22 After Scoring1orless goals.
------
OIL +115 at Cane
Little more than a coattail here of Forum mate SHERWOOD in combination with our own note that Carolina past 21 After Allowing 1orless goals is a not so mighty 7-14. Also Carolina past 19 After an Away win is an equally uninspiring 6-13.
Best to us all for a profitable HNIC
