ANA -1/2 -170
ANA OVER 4.5 -125 ** DOUBLE PLAY **
As everyone knows, DUCKS started out 0-5 this year and were struggling to score. They've put it together in the last couple of games beating SJ and PHIL it OT. FEDEROV finally got a goal for ANA and that bodes well for this team. If he gets hot, he can carry this team. Another point is the teams they lost to, 4 of which may very well make the playoffs. The slow start was due IMO to lots of changes for ANA over the offseason, and the scheduling.
BUFF is coming off a huge win at STAPLES last nite, pasting the KINGS 5-1. Hard to believe the KINGS let that happen, but I'm sure the DUCKS were watching that game. Not sure who is going to be in goal for BUFF, but if their tendency continues, this game will go over 5 goals. Their games have totalled 2,6,7,5,2,7,6 and tonite we need 5, how much easier can it get than that?
I actually think ANA will emphasize pressure and speed to offset the BUFF toughness. IF ANA plays their speed game and stays out of the macho stuff with the SABRES, I can see them pulling away in this one and winning 4-2.
That's it... good luck! Let's start the weekend right!
