Penguin plays 1-0-0 +2 units
Philly invades the Mellon arena tonight in a brutal mismatch of talent versus a lack there of. The line is way too high to risk something dumb happening so I will pass on playing the Flyers, though for those of you that can stomach -.5 -250, have at it, I see -1.5 around as well but I have vowed never to play that line again. In any event, the Pens were shutout against LA last night and if not for the 46 saves by rookie Marc-Andre Fleury it could have been much worse than 3-0. We have some great things working for us in tonights play though, during the last 6-7 minutes of the game the Pens abandoned the trap and actually played some offense and got 2 or 3 decent scoring chances, so I look for new coach Eddie O to loosen things up a bit and try to spend some time on the other end of the ice and cut down on the shots against. Sebastian Coran is scheduled to be in goal tonight and if he faces 50 shots it will only serve to solidify Fleury as the #1 goalie, trust me. All these things combined with the fire power the Flyers posess leads us to tonights play on the OVER.

Pittsburgh/Philly OVER 5 -120 1 unit

Continuing to lay chalk every night is gonna catch up to me, but these look good.
Good Luck all.
