Sorry about the delay in tips today. With it being Easter Monday we ended up being busy with our families. We thought we’d find the time to get the tips done during the day but nothing. Didn’t think we’d be able to however we were just able to have a quick call to go over everything around supper time.
Obviously trying to get the tips out fast here so write-ups will be fairly quick.
Coyotes vs Flames: Coyotes are clinging onto the hope that they can still make the playoffs. It’s all you hear from them – they’re not worried about the mathematics behind it and they’re not sweating that. They’re simply playing with the mentality that they have to keep winning to make the playoffs. Gotta like that mentality. On top of that Domingue is in net and you know with Smith back he’s stepping things up. 37 saves against the Stars and 34 against the Lightning are evidence of that. Gaudreau is out too tonight. Coyotes to win.
Flyers vs Jets: The wheels came off the bus a bit for the Flyers against Arizona, but this is a Flyers team that in the last month have beaten the likes of the Islanders, Blackhawks, Lightning, Avalanche and Red Wings in regulation. Jets have that whole “no pressure” thing going at the moment and we’re seeing some good performances from them – Scheifele in particular – but we still think Flyers have what it takes tonight. They’ve just looked so solid lately. Flyers in Regulation.
Red Wings vs Sabres: Boy do Detroit have their issues at the moment. It’s amazing to think of all these kids who have grown up Detroit fans just taking playoff hockey for granted. What’s really interesting is when they get beat they get beat HARD as seen by games against Penguins, Lightning and Blackhawks recently.
Red Wings however have a great record against the Sabres, and with Sabres, Canadiens and Leafs coming up this is a great time for them to get things back on track. I know the Buffalo Sabres have performed extremely well in the last few weeks but this game is more about the Detroit Red Wings and getting back on track – it’s an absolute massive game for them and we’re going to take nice value of Red Wings in Regulation.
Tonight i like
DET
NSH
CGY +1.5
Don’t worry guys…We all have families….No worries…I did not make any picks the last (2) days….So here are my picks tonight. I feel it’s going to be one of those nights so here goes…Maple Leafs ; Oilers ; Kings….. just like that….Let’s do it..Win Big or Go home
S&G, Your picks are the same as mine. However, I add the following:
Ducks reg -103 – Ducks has snapped out of their funk (I hope) and will trash the hapless Oilers.
Red Wings-Sabres O5 – Scores tell the story. Wings have been in a lot of 5+ games lately and Sabres games almost always goes 5.
Flames-Yotes +1.5O first per & O5.5 – #1 and #5 in GA.
low unit value bets:
Preds PL
Bolts PL
passing on Non-NHL BOTD. Hope you guys took my UNC tip.
good luck boys.
Good tips.
Some of my thoughts for tonight: Beware of some of the heavy favorites. Toronto has been in good shape and playing with heart for the past few games. Washington hasn’t scored a goal in regulation for the past 2 games, although one of those games was vs. the Blues. Anaheim has been struggling a little too, but their record against the Oilers is good (8-1-1 for last 10). Will be interesting to see if tonight will be another night of the underdogs.
100 on PHI, DET- both must win games for them with very beatable opponents.
I hope you’ve bet 2 ways and not 3 ways?
had phi, det in two team parlay which hit and other games i just had a $50 three team parlay. nsh and ari played really bad. still up for the day though so happy with outcome.
also threw in NSH PL, ANA, ARI…good luck everyone!
Im glad a lot of people have that last weird night in the back of their minds.
For tonight i don’t think we’ll be seeing many regulation wins by the underdogs, but instead OT’s.
Ducks-Oilers
Preds-Avs
Caps-Blue Jackets (lowest confidence)
+ Sharks-Kings
I also thought Sabres regulation odds of 3.75 were too good to pass on, as the Wings are a mess atm.
Bolts and Flyers i trusted to win in regulation. Also picked Coyotes.
Ducks-Oilers Over 5
Sabres-Wings Over 5
Not that it matters now, but went for Grand Salami Under as well.
Good luck ! (And no worries S&G)
Yes that’s what I was thinking. Arizona definately underestimated
anyone know what’s going on with Tue tips?
What going on with tonight’s games the 29th? Yesterday I didn’t get a email and today I received Mondays tips. Am I the only person receiving them a day late?
The mailing list server unfortunately acts up sometimes – usually around the time of a time change and it can mess up for some people. That combined with us doing tips late the past two days (around 5:30pm EST both days) may have messed things up – sorry about that.
It’s cool thanks for responding so quick. I really like comparing my picks with you guys. My win percentage is definitely up. Thanks again
