been busy getting ready for trip and now on road.
took time out today for 'capping tho--fridays I always like.
nice and sunny here in AZ desert, not like NE! Some Team travel plans upset. Leafs had to leave in wee hours of morning today for this eves game, for example.
3 teams tonight played last night.
11 teams tonight play tomorrow. That makes for some unexpected goalie starts.
you can see the schedule angles easy on this NHL flowchart.........http://www.vegasinsider.com/u/hockey/nhl/nhlflow.htm
that link above thru madjacks fine NHL resource section, check it out............http://216.36.226.6/NHL.htm
3 teams at home tonight are also are trying for payback against opponents who just defeated them (WA, Carolina and Chi). Chi and Carolina were caught tired in defeat, and are now rested and ready--that usually makes for a fine bet!
ATL--Dafoe, implies newspaper, to start against his former team. but he got no starts on 0 nights rest last season...
WA--Kolzig I expect. over is 7-4 at home for Caps.
FL--Hurme is my guess, decision made this morning sez papers.
Carolina--Irbe, I guess (but play Ott tomorrow).
Buffalo--Biron sez official site, team will use same lineup that just produced a shutout.
NYR--Blackburn? I expect him to start on 0 days rest, coach will want to use his fire after last nites upsetting loss. And the back up no one wants to use...
Toronto--Kidd "hints" coach according to newspaper.
NYI--Osgood sez papers. tonight is only 3rd sold out game in the 15 at home this season so far. Home team is 9-1 in last 10 meetings, and over has hit 5-0 last five.
Pitt--Aubin sez Pitt paper quoting coach, who also sez he's not sure who will start tomorrow. Aubin 1-5-0 vs NJ, 3.26 gga, .910 pct.
Pitt paper here sez "defensive struggle expected" tonight......................http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/sports/penguinslive/s_106214.html
NJ--Brodeur is expected papers say. NJ over is 6-2 at home, surprising for a defensive team.
Anaheim--Giguere sez papers.
Chi--Thibault I expect.
Detroit--Joseph, turns out Legace's knee is still ailing.
Dallas--Turco I expect. Home team is 3-7 last 10 meetings. Over is 4-1 last five.
Montreal--Theodore I expect (but some posters say Hackett, can't get confirmation anywhere..)
Colorado--Roy, sez the newspapers in all the articles on this anniversary day. And boy, is he tought against his former team, 7-1-2, 1.62 gga.
Columbus--Denis I expect, but they do play LA tomorrow. Columbus 2-9 on road, SJ 2-7 at home ( ATS).
SJ--Nabokov I expect. Article here on how new coach reunited playoff units and team likes that..............http://www.bayarea.com/mld/bayarea/sports/hockey/nhl/san_jose_sharks/4679402.htm
