It was a crappy 0-2 last night with the NHL Tips.
The Blackhawks blew an early lead against the Red Wings and lost 4-2. It was a close game but the Red Wings deserved to win that with a solid performance. At least it was nice for Howard to record a win in his first game back since forever. Could see the Wings going on a wee run possibly – although they host the Rangers tomorrow so that’s a big test.
The Penguins vs Oilers game started good in terms of the over but couldn’t get there. Fleury had a rare big game pulling off 40 saves as the Penguins won 3-2 on a shootout.
The Blues may be a team to look to start backing now with 3 wins on the trot. The Wild had some big issues against the Panthers but after a goalie change won 7-4.
Let’s get onto Saturdays tips:
Bruins vs Flyers Betting Tips:
I see no reason not to take the Bruins here. They’re clearly pushing hard for the playoffs and since the coaching change they’ve obviously turned things around. Rask is also solid as all hell.
The Bruins are playing like a team who deserve to be in the playoffs. The Flyers are also on a playoff push but they’re struggling against the teams above them. They just don’t have that confidence at the moment that they’re a playoff team.
No goalie confirmed yet but it should be Rask. If Rask is in net bet the Bruins to win in regulation. It won’t be as easy as the Wings game or anything, but I feel good backing the Bruins with the way they’re playing at the moment.
Update: Rask confirmed.

Leafs vs Hurricanes Betting Tips:
I’m surprised at the odds on this one. I thought the Leafs would be a decent favourite.
They’ve had a few stumbles on the road recently for sure but they’re still playing some good hockey and looking like a playoff team.
Hurricanes have been absolutely brutal for awhile now. The only main concern is if that Rangers win turns things around mentally for them. Playing without pressure and coming off that win their offense is going to be confident.
But this is the beginning of a 3 game road trip for the Leafs and an important one at that.
I’m taking Leafs to win incl OT/SO. The over is tempting with the Canes not practising yesterday and they might have high energy, but I’ve noticed some positive changes in the Leafs defense lately and I think they will struggle.

Hey Graeme and Scott, your AHL system has been working quite well for my bets. Is there any reason you haven’t been posting it recently or is there simply nothing coming from it right now?
Hey John – I’m the one that does the AHL/WHL/OHL Systems. I’m off on vacation on Tuesday for a couple of weeks so I was going to just end it then as the seasons are wrapping up etc within the next couple of weeks. However I got a bit busy this past week so I decided to end them early. They’ll be back next season(I don’t do the playoffs) and I’m going to look at adding some more leagues possibly.
This is gonna be one of my bigest comment here on this site.Quite often i’m questioned about my picks.
Last year i try different variants. Play combo and try to play single bets. Play single bets was not a good thing for me.After one month of playng in this system i was with balance where i start.
So starting with this year i was playing only one combo per night. Most of the time stake was 1 unit, rarely 1,5 or maxim 2. Until now i win 8 or 9 of my comboss.Let’s say only 8.
Final odd always was between 30 and 50. Let’s say final odd was 30.Assuming that was 69 night from the beging of this year (not in all this nights we had NHL games) and i bet one unit per night pure arithmetic say i bet 69 units and won 240.
So i think my balance is pretty good. I am a little bit crazy but not stupid.:)
Of course i want to win every combo but i also know that is not possible.
My picks are results of some statistic, some head to head history and some inspiration of mine.
So…Sharks, Jets, Yotes and Blues.
Ok, so, i actually just signed up, just to say thank you to you. I have been betting from your tips in last few days and i have to say, even if any combo doesnt win, winning units is much higher for me then taking any other tips. So yeah, dont stop this, and yeah, im rly looking forward to Stanley cup tips. Thank you.
so you taking all games in REG right?
Always.
When I commented before, it wasn’t out of dislike of your style, I like your style too and definitely don’t disagree with a lot of your picks, you clearly do your research before-hand, I see your point with the combo style, even if you miss a few, if one lands, you win more than you lose in the end, singles can also be worse depending on how you play them, if you go for underdogs more often in singles, you definitely have a high chance of losing just as much as you win.
