A very nice night last night if you were on our value bet. The Islanders -1 cashed in at 3.4 odds for a huge win. We also had another win in that game as the game easily went over the 5.5 goals.
Leafs came out fast and got a goal after 5 minutes as predicted. Stats wise they were very similar, but the leaky goals continued for the Leafs with Bernier having a night he’d rather forget. Tavares is hot at the moment and set up 3 nice assists.
The Hurricanes vs Sabres game was unfortunately postponed, while Kuemper stepped up BIG for the Wild. We had the Kings in regulation, and LA pounded their net with 37 freaking shots to just 15 in regulation, yet it ended 1-1. So frustrating but that’s hockey for you.
Oh well – a great night regardless – and the Kings game wasn’t the most frustrating thing about hockey yesterday. No – that would go to the freaking Team Canada announcement that was just dragged on FOREVER. Holy crap did that just go on and on and on and on.
Quiet night of hockey tonight. Just 3 games on the board. Flyers vs Canadiens, Blackhawks vs Rangers and Avalanche vs Senators. Let’s see what we have for tips:
Flyers vs Canadiens: Flyers to Win
Boy do I hate betting against my Habs.
These two have played twice this season. Montreal won 4-1 on October 5th and then Flyers returned the favour at home 2-1 about a month ago. This is the third, and final matchup between the two teams. Montreal are going into this game off the back of the news that Galchenyuk will be out for about a month which is quite unfortunate.
Philly played last night in a tough game and won – and that’s actually good for them. This season, the Flyers have thrived on back to back nights and always come out hot. This is going to be a tight one, but I like the Flyers to come out winners here. Back them at 1.86 odds at http://www.5Dimes.eu(Need to register to see lines).
Avalanche vs Senators: Avs to Win
After a nice little run, the Colorado Avalanche came crashing down to earth with a loss against the Calgary Flames. A surprising 4-3 defeat was quite the shock, as Giguere had an off night.
Ottawa have been racking up the wins, but I like the Avs to get back to their winning ways here. Spezza is apparently back tonight but even with that, I still think the Avs match up well against the Sens.
I’m tempted to go with Avs in regulation but with Ottawas nice run I’ll stick with the Avs to be the victors even if it takes overtime and a shootout to get there.
.
That’s it tonight for the tips. If you want to take advantage of the 50% more on accumulators bonus at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv and throw a third team on, I’d take the Rangers.
Good luck!
Took Hawks over 5.5 for 2.1 and Avs over for 1.95.
