Fatugue Factor Sabers/blackhawks

[MR. LOCK]

YTD 1-2

Buffalo -1/2 +125

Coach Brian Sutter mentioned on his radio show that The BlackHawks are playing their 6th game in 10 nights. He must have mentioned it at least 3 times. I like Brian but stop whinning! That's the way the schedule works sometimes. It sounds like to me he is setting up for failure tonight. He will be happy with winning 2 of 3 games against the NY hockey teams. In the last three games J. Thibault has faced over 100 shots. He is notorious for getting tired after a few consecutive starts. If you saw the third period of the Rangers game you know what i'm talking about. If all things were equal I would probably go with The Hawks. I really believe Buffalo should have a big advantage. Whether they take advantage or not I don't know. But I'll take my chances.

Good Luck
Mr. Lock

Good info! The fatigue factor is a solid angle to play. Sens started a stretch of 31 games in 58 days back in early Dec.

Here's something to think about, and this is the reason I'm off of the Sabres tonite.

The Hawks off of a road win, last year were 7-4-2.

Also, the Hawks in the last game of a road trip of 3 games or more, last year was 2-2-2 (W at Buff, and Col, T at Det and SJ), last 2 years 8-6-3.

Buff also playing 5 of 6, 7 of 10 game at home during this holiday time, and home teams tend to be a little lackadaisicle being around family and all.

Ended up being a no play for me.:shrug:
