Two tips yesterday and we went 1-1.
We had the Pens -1.5 against the Red Wings and they managed to cover the spread. They won by 9 goals 11-2!! Wow what a shit show that was and it shows you just how dangerous the Penguins can be.
We had the Isles to beat the Lightning but the Lightning won 4-1. The Isles scored 1st but it was all Tampa after that. Some bad luck with that goal being chopped off at the end of the 2nd for the Islanders which could have turned the game around.
The Wild beat the Avs 3-2 in overtime for their 5th straight win. The Preds beat the Flyers 5-4 and moved to 3rd in the Central. The Jets beat the Coyotes 2-1 in overtime and are 2 points out of the playoffs.
Not sure if anyone watched the Oscar’s last night but that was something. Will Smith made people talk about the show. Just a wild scene that was.
5 games today and nothing I liked enough to make a tip.
Canes vs Capitals Betting Tips:
The Canes are in 1st in the Metro and the Caps are 4th with 9 points between them.
They have played each other 3 times this season with the Caps winning all 3.
The Canes stopped their 4 game skid and have picked up 5 of a possible 6 points since including their last game where they pounded the Blues 7-2.
The Caps are in the final wild card spot and will need to go on a run to get out of there. They have 84 points and the team they need to catch are the Rangers and they have 89.
This should be a good game and with the way the games have went between them this season I would like to say the Caps should be the pick but with the way the Canes have been playing after that losing skid and not wanting to be swept in the season series here I feel it’s safer to skip this one.
Canucks vs Blues Betting Tips:
Another game where the points in the standings are going to help each team.
The Canucks have 73 points and are 3 back of the 8th place Knights and they have a game in hand. The Blues currently hold the 1st wild card spot with 79 points and a win here would see them move back into 3rd in the Central where the Preds currently sit with 80 points.
The Blues should win this game but they have lost 2 straight and are 3-4-3 in last 10. They won the only meeting between these teams 3-1 in January.
With so much on the line for both teams its tricky to call.
Sabres vs Blackhawks Betting Tips:
Anytime the Hawks are favored it worries me.
The Sabres are ranked 26th overall, the Hawks 25th and 2 points separates them.
The Sabres are 28 points out of the playoffs, the Hawks are 18 out in the competitive West. So both teams don’t have a chance at the playoffs.
I don’t see anything worth betting here.
Coyotes vs Oilers Betting Tips:
The Oilers will probably win this game but to get any value we have to take them -2.5 so that’s an easy skip for me.
Kraken vs Kings Betting Tips:
Just like the Oilers game, the Kings should win but the odds are brutal.
The Kings are in 2nd in the Pacific 7 points behind the division leading Flames and 5 ahead of the 3rd place Oilers.
The Kraken are 30 points out of the playoffs picture.
They have played twice this season with the Kings winning both with the most recent being on Saturday
I want to take the Kings here and it would have to be in regulation and the odds for that are just barely over our minimum. The Kings have gone 5-3-2 over last 10 so not comfortable taking them -1.5.
Kings 1.78 in reg
Oilers -1.5 1.75
Take these bets??
I like the Kings reg
Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏
I have to back the Caps tonight. They’re playing with intensity and clicking on all cylinders. They’ve owned the Canes this season and playing at home. I also like over 6.
