As some of you know I've been away for some time and just recently got back..........I don't have my exact record for NHL hockey but I'm doing ok........the record I have (from top of my head) is 9 wins and 3 losses (+22 units). And remember I use a ten point scale, so judge accordingly.
Good to be back!
Columbus at Phoenix
Columbus +0.5
odds $1.95 .....................5 units (on a ten unit scale)
Calgary at Vancouver
Over +5.0
odds $1.77 ......................8 units (on a ten unit scale)
Reason for Calgary/Vancouver Pick
--------------------------------------------
Calgary fired coach Greg Gilbert last week after a slow start. Assistant GM Al MacNeil is serving as interim coach. The Flames, who reportedly hold the 67-year-old veteran in high esteem, are 1-0-1-0 under his direction. I think the Flames will score at least two goals in this one. And with the Vancouver Canucks being the hottest team in the league last month I think there due for at least 3 goals! I see this game going 3-3 or 4-3!
Reason for Phoenix/Columbus Pick
-------------------------------------------
Simple really.........Phoenix banged up.....can't win at home (Phoenix has just two wins in 13 games at America West Arena this season) and are having trouble scoring goals lately! And the Jackets picked up their first win of their 4 game road trip in a 4-2 decision at Los Angeles on Saturday. I think Columbus will at least tie this one.
