went 1-3 yesterday
but like today's card better
<b>Detroit -1/2 -146</b>----Detroit on a big roll now and LA's wins have been against weaker teams, except double-revenge payback against SJ they barely won. Home team has dominated this matchup for years.
<b> under 5.5 Mtl/WA</b>---a strong under if we get Garon in net. all three of his starts went way under, incl a 2-0 vs WA. MTL under is 21-9 on road.
I was worried about WA defense, then read
Piece by Dave Fay in WA paper other day on Caps reported that:
....the coach conducted a brief team meeting yesterday morning on what was supposed to be a day off, then put the team through an hour-long practice dealing with play away from the puck in all three zones and emphasizing the neutral zone trap.
"I hate the trap, but if it makes you win, it makes you win," Cassidy said. "It's discipline, it's structure, it's three guys who have to be together, and the defense has to read off them. It's execution, it's patience, it's discipline."....
"The biggest thing we talked about was better defensive play," Cassidy said. "It's what got us into first place, and everyone is capable of that. I know we all want everyone to score, but I think it's easier to contribute on defense. I said [at the meeting] we need to get back to basics. Let's get real good at it."......
best of luck to everyone!
