Friday Night Hockey Game of the Month

NOLIMITHOLDEM · Jan 9, 2004

Ok - As alot of you know I love medium level teams when they get .5 goals over other med level teams. I also like Phoenix WHENEVER they get half a goal.

Check this one out:
Tonight Phoenix away 8-6-9 L10 5-1-3
Minn Home 8-9-4 L10 2-2-6

** the way I calculate this is that Phoenix wins and ties are 17, which is all they need to cover, and minnesota has only 8 wins outright which is what they have to do to cover this spread.

Phoenix is starting Bourchier tonight he is going for the record for consec periods EVER without giving up a goal.
They have shutout 3 straight teams.
And with Bouchier in Goal, 4 straight.

Now - Phoenix gets .5 goals, so a tie wins. Phoenix has scored 12 goals in 3 games, 4 average, I dont see Minnesota scoring more than 1 maybe 2 the way Bouchier is playing behind the goal right now.
And all they have to do is tie to win the bet.

Nothing in this world is guarateed, that;s why they play the game. But, if you play the odds when they are in your favor, you will win in the long run.

Im laying the money on Phoenix +.5 EVEN
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN Price!!
For Practically EVEN money you get a play that is AT LEAST 3-1 or higher odds to win.

good write up, good reasoning...

Unfortunately the best I can find at this time is + .5 -120 but still think it is worth a shot...

This came out at +.5 -125 - still an excellent bargain, i actually played it at 4x normal play - most I EVER would do is 5

no limit, nice selection. I liked it so much i put you in my post... Boucher must have the Flyers thinking long and hard right now... not that their goltending has been bad or anything... keep those good picks coming.
