Some thoughts first...I won't even get into totals as it is a joke, just play all the overs and be done with it, no handicapping or guessing needed here with Bettman having the refs calling things that are not even penalties...

Anyone find it strange that Carolina the higher seed who just lost 2 games at home comes into Montreal at even. I give them a shot here as long as they play Ward and not Gerber. Montreal is a better team at home but games here are usually lower scoring. I think Carolina can win tonight but only getting even money back is not to great...They will not be getting my money...Forgot Carolina's coach said he has confidence in both goalies as his nose just grew 23' and Gerber took a puck to the neck in practice Tuesday. You don't think that the players were making sure who the starting goalie was tonight....

Philly at home and a favorite of -130 after being totally throttled in 2 games in Buffalo. I know the first game was 2 o.t. but the score did not tell the tale. Unless the refs decide to lose their whistles tonight and not call any penalties or maybe some of the Philly fans can skate better than the Philly players and will suit up tonight. I would not take Philly if they game them to me for free. There is nothing Hitch can do to make the difference in the skating up. SO I will be more than happy to take the better team at + $$$..
If the Sabres lose so be it I will still say Philly stinks and will be on Buffalo in game 4, game 5, etc...

Rangers, uummm. What can you say about the Rangers? How about great skill and no heart... Even if Jagr took a miracle potion and came back to play 100% it still will not matter. This is like a bleeding corpse in the water and the sharks are all nipping at it. Devils in game 3, game 4, etc....

Dallas another team that has cement skates and a shit goalie. Yes Dallas is the higher seed but a funny thing happened they were exposed by Colorado for being a little slow of foot and having a crap over rated goalie. Dallas is getting +115 tonight is that enough value to bet them? Me thinks not I will bet Colorado game 3, game 4, etc until the series is over...

Don't have much time running late....

Thursday Games:

Ottawa -176 ( 3 )

Ottawa -1.5 +163 ( 1.5 )

Sharks U 6 -127 ( 1 ) I know...

Think Edmonton is worth a shot at +162 at home and playing well but I am going with my strongest plays tonight...Edmonton is a value play and is woth a shot...
Ottawa with effort should win...

Sharks and I believe Calgary will win tonight but I would like the price to be a little higher to take it....

Was away yesterday, no access to computer... Played Devils (big) Oilers (small)
Parlay Ottawa, Calgary, Devils for a small hit....

Sunday's picks:

Avs +160 (2) Said I wanted a Dallas win in game 4 and got it, today I am on the Avs at a great value line if they lose today I will play them for game 6 also...

Sabres -175 (1) Now back at home Buffalo will pick it up again, they should have won game 4 but Miller let in a couple of bad goals and Buffalo did not play 3 periods...

Hurricanes -178 (1) No Koivu says enough, Carolina has found their stride and the goalie change was huge as the team has no confidence in Gerber...

I expect Carolina to win this series now so I will try and make back my series bet on the Canadiens...

Sharks/Predators Sharks will win this series but at home today hard to count out Nashville as they play very well at home, Was leaning to taking the Sharks but value with Nashville and they will fight tooth and nail in front of their home crowd. SO will try and make back my series bet on this one also...

Wanted to add for the Sabres/Flyers series. Seems to be that the refs are more than definately favoring the home teams... The games in Philly penalties were called but Philly got away with much, much more than at Buffalo...

IF they had called things the same as in Buffalo this series would be 3-1 Sabres or possibly over already...The skating mismatch is huge here and if they let the Flyers get away with things then Philly will win the series if not Buffalo will win...

It is that simple, never thought I would awy a hockey playoff would be decided by the refs but with Bettman at the helm this is what you get..

A guy who has no clue what hockey is about and they give the keys to this idiot... Yes crack down on things but to more or less pressure the refs with their jobs to call made up things that are not penalties well that is bullshit...

If Bettman thinks that by playing touch football on skates will bring this sport back to life he is wrong...

I will step off the soapbox now....

Updating my playoff totals...these are just the plays I have posted here... I have missed posting some days and some plays... I am up about 14 more units than what I have posted here...


15 - 11 +12.09 units includes sides/totals not series plays

Series 0 - 1 -1.00

Totals 1 - 4

Sides 14 - 7


I can't get a grasp of totals this year at all with the way the games are being played... As you see I would be up alot more without playing the totals

I am up a total of 26.6 units so far this playoffs. I hope to continue to add to that total...

A little on tonight's games... I see alot of people taking Oilers and Flames
on +1.5 - big $$$... Their reasoning is both games should be close, I agree but if you split you lose more than a unit if you played them both equal...

I see no value in this logic... I would rather take my chances at having plus $$$ as both teams have at worst a 50% chance to win the game...

If I go 1-1 I win a little, so be it. All it takes is a game to be a 1 goal game and your team pulls the goalie to give up an empty net goal and there goes your +1.5 bet... You need to go 2-0 to win playing this way...I need to go 1-1 to win... With the way these games have gone this payoffs +1.5 goals is not the way to go at all to many pp and offense

Now watch both Edmnonton and Calgary lose by 1 tonight...

Oh yeah I would not play Edmonton and Calgary if I did not think they had a chance to win tonight...I think they both have at least a 50% chance to win and getting good odds so I bet them....

How lucky is Detroit??? They get dominated more or less by Edmonton and get a lucky break for a goal they do not deserve...

Detroit looks like crap, if Edmonton keeps coming at them like this they should win...
