Hi guys, I have gotten off to a very nice start in NHL pucks and will post my full cards here for a little while.
<B>3* Ottawa(+115)</B> and <B>3* Under(5.5)(-105)</B> The Sens are playing very solid defense and Lalime has been spectacular with a .945 save % on the season allowing just 5 goals in 4 games. We get some value here in that Boston is coming home for their opener off a long but successful road trip when I don't think they are as good as they showed out there, but rather caught some teams that have gotten off slow such as Edmonton, Colorado and Toronto. Still njot sold on the Boston goaltending either. Home club is 8-1-1 the last 10 in the series, but much of that was Ottawa as they are 6-2 last 8 series and I think we get the better team as a dog here who may catch Boston a little tired as they only had two days off after the trip to recover and Ottawa played their first game in a week last night and should still be fresh.
<B>3* Edmonton(-.5)(-110)</b> Home team 7-0-2 last 9 in the series and StLouis has benefited from 7 power play goals in their last two games to inflate their offensive numbers. Edmonton has allowed just 2 of the last 21 power plays to be successful against them. This is StLouis' first road game of the year as well and Edmonton has enough offense to get the job done here.
<B>3* Anaheim Under(5.5)(-105)</B> Series has played under 5.5 goals in 8 straight meetings. Anaheim 2 goals or less in 4 of their last 5 games and have relied on the PP to score 40% of their goals this season which doesn't bode well against the Canucks whose PK is at 92.1%. The Canucks have been more defensive in their play so far this season as prior to last game they were allowing just 24 shots per game while taking just 25. I will make this series hit 6 goals in a game before getting off this under streak.
<B>3* Montreal(+175) </B>Road team is 5-0 the last 5 in the series and Montreal 3-0-2 in the last 5 at Philly. I like the price with the Habs success in the building. MTL has struggled killing penalties this year at just 76%, but are only allowing 4 power play opportunities against per game. The goaltending pair of Hackett and Theodore makes the Habs worth a look at any time with this price as they are both capable of stealing a game.
<B>2* Florida (+230)</B> Little concerned with a team like Florida playing the 3rd game in 4 nights on the road, but at thi price I am going to take a shot. Keenan has them playing with confidence and they dominated a talented although struggling Toronto team last night. The Isles have no business laying this price to anyone as both of their wins have came against winless teams and their goaltending has been awful. They are only killing 74% of power plays against and the Panthers have had some success in the building winning 2 of the last 3 here.
Good luck as always......Bookie
