YTD 112-70

Montreal comes into tonights game one point up on the Caps with a game in hand. With a win tonight they can put a 3 point gap on the Caps with 4 games remaining. CLB. has struggled all year and most recently just snapped a 7 game losing streak against Nash. Mont. in an easy win.

One trend I like to play as the season comes to an end is when 2 non-playoff teams play each other. Non-playoff teams are more loose and therefore don't play the same defensive minded system as they did earlier in the season. Cal./Nash. game applies to this theory. I see one of those 5-3 games tonight.

Pitt. has lost 5 in a row and don't look to be playing as a team now that they are eliminated from playoff contention. Philly on the other hand is playing terrible leading up to the playoffs. Goaltending is an issue for them right now and I see this being a high scoring game as well.

Playing:

Pitt./Philly o5(-140)
Mont. -.5(-210)
Cal./Nash. o5(+130)

GL today!

Penguins Report: 4/6/02

Saturday, April 06, 2002

By Dave Molinari



SCOUTING REPORT
Matchup: Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers, 7:08 p.m. today, First Union Center.

TV, radio: Fox Sports Net; WWSW-FM (94.5), WBGG-AM (970).

Probable goaltenders: Johan Hedberg for Penguins, Roman Cechmanek for Flyers.

Penguins: Are 1-16 in past 17 visits to Philadelphia, including losses Oct. 31 and Jan. 29. ... Have gone 24-11-0-2 when scoring first goal. ... D Rick Berry does not have point in his past 67 NHL games.

*Flyers: Have 18-13-4-3 record on home ice. ... Own NHL's third-worst power play, with 37 goals on 281 chances (13.2 percent). ... Are 11-2-0-1 in games tied after two periods.

Hidden stat: Penguins have won seven overtime games, third-highest total in league.


NOTEBOOK
All 27 players on the Penguins' major-league roster are on this road trip, which will conclude with games in Philadelphia tonight and New York Monday. The team flew to Philadelphia yesterday afternoon after spending Thursday night in Tampa, Fla. Coach Rick Kehoe did not schedule a practice for yesterday, at least in part because the ice at the First Union Center was unavailable because of a basketball game. The Penguins, who will bus to Manhattan after the game tonight, will have tomorrow off, too.

The Penguins aren't the only team that will lug a season-worst five-game losing streak into the game tonight. The Flyers, who were poised to claim the top seed in the Eastern Conference a few weeks ago, have dropped five in a row, three of those at the First Union Center. Philadelphia is 5-10-3 since the start of March and seems genuinely concerned that its season is about to unravel. "For the first time in my three years here, I am at a loss for words," C Keith Primeau told reporters after Philadelphia's 3-1 loss to Montreal Thursday. "I don't know what to say, how to make this better. In that regard, it's extremely frustrating. Usually, you have solutions to the problem, but right now, I can't think of anything. We're a desperate team that feels that desperation. ... We're playing like a team that has lost five games in a row instead of the team that is in second place in the Eastern Conference, and we have to get that arrogance back." Sounds like a team that should be grateful the Penguins' Feel-Good Tour has come to town.

and Phila Inquirer has this:

Injury report. Defenseman Eric Desjardins is questionable for tonight's game with a strained lower back. Chris McAllister would take his spot in the lineup, Barber said. . . . The Penguins have six centers sidelined who are either injured or ill.

full article is here, mainly about the frustration of Flyers and their fans.

Piggybacking both your over plays. Flyers/Penguins should be a shootout. Flyers are pissed and their top guns should bring their A games tonight. Pens always are good for atleast a couple of goals usually from Kovalev. I like the Flames/Predators over as well. The Flames have been playing well of late and I think Iginla and Co. will continue to play well tonight! I also have played the Islanders -1/2 -110 I think that physical game against the Sens last night took alot out of the Caps! Flames -1/2 -135 and the Kings -1/2 -110. Oilers looked like a tired team last night and I think the Kings will continue to play well and build confidence after that win against the Wings the other night. I also have the three teams in a parlay. Good luck tonight $$$$

Rough night on the totals, the way we were looking on both those games after the first period I would have thought one of those games would have gone over! I ended up playing the Kings -1/2 -115 and the Sharks -1/2 -110 in the late games and parlaying the two with the Dodgers.

Talk about a team that could do some damage in the playoffs. I may have to put a future wager on the San Jose Sharks to come out of the West. Born and raised in So. Cal and being a lifelong Kings fan, I am supposed to hate the Sharks. The Sharks are meshing at the right time. They are getting quality goaltending from Nabakov. The Sharks are big and sturdy defensively with the likes of Marchment, Rathje, Stuart and the vet Suter. They are putting up some offensive numbers and getting production from everyone Selanne, Marleu, Nolan, Graves, Ricci, Thornton and Co, and they play in what could be the loudest building in the NHL the SHARK TANK (Compaq Center).This team looks locked and loaded for the playoffs. Good Luck $$$$

jakejj,

Nice job on the winners. Wish I had of stuck with my Kings over as well. You are very right about the Sharks. They are very solid in every aspect of their game right now. They have a team that can play playoff hockey, the grinders, the scorers and the goaltending.
