We went 1-1 with the tips yesterday.
We had over 5.5 in the Senators vs Flyers game and the Flyers won 5-3. We also had the Ducks to win against the Coyotes but Arizona came away with the 2-0 win.
The Bruins made a big splash and acquired Rick Nash from the New York Rangers for Ryan Spooner, Matt Belesky, Ryan Lindgren, a 1st round draft pick and a 7th. Only time will tell us who won this trade. The deadline is tomorrow so I expect there to be some more big trades like this.
Only the one tip for today. The first game starts at noon so I have to keep these quick.
Canucks vs Coyotes Betting Tips:
The Canucks have been having a tough time of late. They are 2-7-1 over the last 10 and are also on a 2 game losing skid.
The Coyotes are going to start Darcy Kuemper in this one and this will he his first start since being acquired from the Los Angeles Kings. He is 10-1-3 on the year with a 2.10 GAA and .932 save percentage.
The Coyotes have been playing alright recently going 6-3-1 over their last 10. With their new goalie getting the start and the Canucks struggles, I like the Coyotes to come out on top in this game.

Boston over Buffalo in reg. I believe Nash is suppose to play. Its battle of back up goalies as both are playing game 2 of back to back. Khudobin is a much better goalie then Johnson. I think Khudobin could be a starter for most teams.
Khudobin is definitely starter quality.
C. Smith to score
Predators, Bruins, Red Wings and Wild with 1u.
PLEKANEC TO TORONTO !
Never expected that. Apparently Babcock loves him and can use him as a 4th line centre. We’ll see…
Getting this out quick, before game starts (more picks later)-
Preds Reg (70%)- Blues are just in a funk right now, and Allen has been terrible in net. I really like the Preds here to put some distance between them and the Jets, and attempt to catch the Knights in the West.
Preds will be highly motivated. They hit the road for 4 so they want this one.
2-0!
3-0
Yahoo!!
Took Preds Reg right before Puck drop. Happy with the current results. 2-0 w/ 3:32 left in the first.
I would love if we could all start calling it “puck off” instead of “puck drop”… lol
I doubt thats ever going to happen.
4-0!
I will add more picks later, once I’ve got around to analysing the games but I think Wings hold A LOT of value today against the Rangers. They have not been playing badly at all, and only narrowly lost to the Rangers here earlier this season when the Rangers were on fire at home.
Ducks,
Wild -1.5 and
Coyotes in regulation.
Maybe Rangers would change smth. and win this time, but not sure , 0.5 unit NY at regulation for fun.
Glta
Betting on Rangers is like throwing money in a fire.
Agree, a bit too fast bet from my end, maybe they will surprise.
Lucky ones who took the Nashville Predators, on the opposite side i still have them blacklisted for betting together with the Blackhawks 🙂
Deeply blacklisted.
Maybe you need to adjust the blacklist then?
Yep, sounds so, great offence and they are playing for Europe, so i can enjoy it watching live without falling asleep. Their place is in playoffs.
My personal call- Vegas/Bruins/Pens/ Predators. One of those four win SC (in that order I rank their chances). Tampa does not have the D to get out the first round at the moment.
Maybe Jets as well, hmm. Vegas is a great team, but i feel like they won’t do it, too early.
Ar least one team of your list will be out after first round. In my oppinion you underestimate Tampa and overate Vegas. Playoff games aren’t like regular season games and maybe Vegas will be in trouble in that kind of games.
Please tell me what team can beat Vegas in a best of 4 ? Also I’m hardly underestimating Tampa when they have dropped games to the Sabres, Oilers, Wings and almost to the Habs last night. Playoff games may not be the same, but regular season games are often a good indication. Tell me preds and pens weren’t crushing teams in regular season last season? Everyone keeps thinking Vegas will slow down or be stopped, and they haven’t been yet, so why expect anything else?
Well, maybe can you tell me what did Capitals last season….or maybe you didn’t see last night game betwen Habs and Tampa. It was all about Habs netminder…he was in a great day…I can understand that you are disapointed because of last night result but this is hockey…and when we bet in hockey is always possible to lose money. Btw in my opinion Vegas will be like Capitals last season.
And in playoffs games best of 7 any team can beat any team.
I meant as in what team is going to get 4 wins off the Knights to win the bets of 7. If you look at playoff history, its not quite “any team can beat any team”
Hard to keep track of the starting lineups for the Bruins and Sabres.
Khudobin confirmed (dailyfaceoff)
According to the NHL site:
Nash in the lineup
Kane expected to be a healthy scratch (same status vs Caps last night) Kane 2 goals vs Bos;
Bergeron game time decision
(left Leaf gm wearing a boot)
Season series: Buf 5-4OT Oct
Bos 3-0 Dec & Buf 4-2 Feb
Obviously like the Bruins but this could have mixed results based on last minute lineup changes and playing the 2nd of a btob at an earlier time. To date, Sabres are 3-7-2 & Bruins 6-3-2 on the 2nd half of a btob; Espn
Will update if I get additional updates:)
No no I smell Bruins strongly in this one. No Eichel or Kane for Sabres, Bruins not lost a b2b since 2nd December. Bruins probably a PL bet for me.
Yeah, probably just overthinking this one. Think I’ll pass on this one and Wings/ Rangers game until after the trade deadline. Fingers crossed for ya!
Preds 4-0!
I hope you’re right because I took them earlier today, parlay with Preds ?
So did I! GL!
??
My picks for tonight:
Arizona Reg
Oilers ML
Detroit ML
GLTA !
any think merchand B will score ?
Nashville cashed nicely, so onto the next play.
Bruins Reg/ PL (75%/65%) – The Bruins lost last night, and that motivates me to take them even more. The Bruins have not lost back to back games since early December, and I doubt it starts now against a Sabres side they’ll want revenge against. The Sabres were 4-2 winners in Boston, and that was because the Bruins did not take them seriously enough. After a loss last night, and the recent memory of losing to the Sabres the Bruins have plenty of motivation to win tonight to ensure they keep up with Tampa and the Leafs. One major factor makes me love this pick- no Eichel or Kane for the Sabres. The two combined for 28% of all Sabres goals this season, and had assists in close to 35% of all Sabres goals. The Sabres got drummed last night by the Caps, and honestly I think they’ll be resigned to losing this one. Heck, they beat the bruins early this season, so whats the shame in losing today? Considering the Bruins have also won the last 4 visits to Buffalo, I’m inclined to play this pretty large. I wouldn’t be shocked to see a multiple goal lead win by the Bruins.
I will post more plays later.
Hey Trigg!
Always nice to hear your thoughts on it all! What do you think about Wild at home?
I like them, going to have a better look at it later.
WINs in regulation: Boston, Arizona
Boston will be SO eager to use this game to reverse yesterday’s loss to Toronto, allowing them to climb one point higher than Toronto today. Too bad Anaheim is so inconsistent that I can’t bet on them against Edmonton, but they just lost to Arizona, so the Ducks are roasted for this season, it seems. Pass the potatoes!
The boston odd has fallen 2 steps already ))) -1.5 pucks, small bet would do for me
Bruins,Wild,Coyotes & Ducks draw-no-bet after yesterdays desaster:
Going for Boston win Reg and Coyotes win ML
Good luck everyone !
Wow, Boston dropped from 2.03 to 1.66 in just a few hours… I took them at 1.80.
WHAT THE HELL ARE BRUINS DOING?
I was quite sure that Bruins can “do it” tonight. Anyway it is time for come back in game.
Nope, whole team looks trash. Khudobin looking like a hopeless rookie.
Who can see Bruins still getting a W?
Don’t think W think B!!!
BRUINS
Pathetic first period from BB.
And 2nd and 3rd
BRUINS ?
Dance hard everybody ????
Be the puck!
Wow, what a game by Bruins
Wild will be my pick tonight – 2u.
Guess Bruins thought they were playing the Canucks -_-
Taking Wings, Wild and Wizards -1.5 for my other picks. Sorry no time or energy to do a write up.
