1-1 last night.
Had the Panthers in regulation but they needed OT. Created some solid chances but just couldn’t convert. Frustrating one as hey were playable incl OT/SO at about 1.76 odds but I thought they would convincingly get the job done.
Kraken easily got the win.
Buffalo got the win which was expected. Glad I stayed away from the Habs. Nice win for the Islanders.
Canucks managed to get the goals to beat the Penguins in a tight one. Jets barely got the win over the Hawks.
Let’s look at Fridays two games:
Stars vs Predators:
Stars got a couple of wins together via the back to back games against Minnesota. These two just recently played where the Preds won 4-3.
Really by the metrics, this should be a Stars win. But would have to be regulation, and I don’t have the confidence in them at the moment. If the last two results were against different teams I’d probably back them as a resurgance. I do expect Stars to get the win here in regulation and in a confident manner – but I have enough concerns to not back it.
Wild vs Flyers:
I mean both kinda terrrible teams – Flyers just slightly less terrible at the moment. I’m not seeing any bets here. Just can’t back Philly with any degree of confidence.
flyers are terrible? they have 48 points lol
Based on their form and current performances going into this game? Yes, they are.
Knights are on 53 points. Kings are on 48 points. Guess what? I’d describe both of them as terrible at the moment.
Basing an estimation of a team and how you would describe them just based on current points is frivolous.
idk man i’ve watched every single flyers game this year. they are not terrible. they dont have a ton of talent but they play hard and have great goaltending. terrible is the cbj, sj, buff, ott, teams like that. i would just never describe philly as terrible
