Thursday Jan. 9th

Chi - Dal UNDER 5 goals (-125): Daze is out, Guerin and Modano are slumping, Thibault is back in nets and both teams are doing well... going to be a tight one.

Edm - LA UNDER 5 goals (-135): Edmonton, without Comrie won last night, Salo is back in nets; they are also playing well as a team and after a few high scoring games before last night, they must of practiced their defensive game a lot! Allison and 2 other centers back tonight, which will result in a nice hard working game. Took this one last night... could of gotten a better price today. Thinking about LA on the Moneyline.

SAN JOSE -.5 (+125): St-Louis will definitely be hungry for this one after losing in OT to Preds. SJ came back from 3 goal deficit, which always a good thing for a team.

CHICAGO +.5 (+175): Too good of an offer to pass on in a possible very tight game.

Parlay: MTL & MTL - NYR OVER 5.5 goals: I thought Irbe was pretty weak last night. Thoedore is playing well but the Rangers are also. The key here will be if the Habs score some goals.

Parlay: TOR & TOR - PIT UNDER 5.5 goals: Pittsburgh-less Lemieux are not a very strong offensive team and Toronto plays good defense. I'm scared about fluke goals in this one but Toronto should come out a winner.

All the best to you all tonight!

Irbe bud ????? Irbe plays for Carolina .. fail to understand the logic unless its a typo ..

Good luck

COOZ3: Luck is what was missing for my early plays... Toronto scored an empty-netter on a giveaway and McKay scored an empty-netter with no time left on the clock... Like they say: you win some and you lose some!

About San Jose... well... if I don't win, at least I know that you'll have won!!!

SPOCK: What I meant is that the Rangers won 5-1 against the Canes with Irbe in nets (pulled in the 3rd) last night. That is why I was leaning more on the Habs instead of the Rangers. At first look you might think that the Rangers played a very good game but it is more precise to say that Irbe played a bad one. Carolina also outshot the Rangers by a wide margin.

No typo; simply a statement which I did not really develop... Probably makes more sense to you now, right? Sorry about that!

Good luck with your plays!

Addition to my plays tonight:

Edmonton -.5 (+145): The Oilers are a very resilient team and with Salo in nets, they will have a chance to win against the Kings. The Kings got some boost up front with 3 centers back in the lineup. Allison's presence will surely help the Kings. But if I am right, Allison came back twice from injuries this season and LA is 0-2... haven't checked it though. Another thing, Mike York is hot. Perhaps the Moneyline might of been a little safer...

those type of things happen in sports betting..ive had my share...but if it takes lucky things like that to ruin a play...then 9 times out of 10 your on the right side and winning....just happens sometimes...


good luck..(what goes around comes around so your due )..lol...cooz

thanx .. Carolina goaltending sux bigtime .. last year they had 2 goaltenders who were hot .. this year they have no one who is hot ..

and Rangers are Rangers .. ..

COOZ3: You're absolutely right... I play hockey and as a goalie, I can definitely say it is the same thing... when you're good and winning, the posts are always there to help you out; but when your slumping... where are they!

Like you say, I will be due...

Just hope it doesn't happen in the SJ-STL game!!! Thanks for your encouragement!

SPOCK: You're right, the Canes goalies are struggling... makes you wonder if they will look at a possible trade if Weekes doesn't get his act together. Since his injury he hasn't been the same guy. Incredible how a goalie's play has so much incidence on the whole team's performance. But I am confident that Weekes will get his groove back in the near future.

The Rangers... you said it best: The Rangers are the Rangers!

The Rangers have no D. Like I mentioned before on the forum. Mix in a D or two wiht the money they have instead of all this high priced talent up front.

Thanks HORNS!

I will keep on posting... I started posting a couple of days ago... It's a good thing no one paid too much attention!

But my career record is good, so I will even it out!

 

[donly1ace]

HORNS: You're right, they don't have a solid defensive unit. Mironov's addition will help them out and Purintain's solid play is encouraging (he is injured right now). But another thing I might add is team chemistry. It doesn't look really fun to play on their team. I read their papers regularly and that'S the feeling I get reading their comments. I am a member of ESPN Insider.
