We went 2-1 last night for a winning night – yet I went to bed absolutely gutted. Our one losing bet was the Wild -1.5, and they were up 3-0!!!! 3-0 at home!!!! And they let the Oilers come back into it. Amazing. At least the Oilers won in a shootout – take that Minnesota.
Despite some late scares, the Red Wings vs Blue Jackets game went Under 5.5 for a win, and the Sharks destroyed the Maple Leafs in a 6-2 victory.
Oh well – not been a bad betting day. Had Sire De Grugy and Whisper at Cheltenham today. Nothing like a 25/1 shot to come in to brighten your morning!
4 games tonight, including the 3rd of 4 games between the Habs and Bruins. Big one with the Habs up 2-0 in terms of games, but of course going without Mr. Price. Should be an interesting one.
Bruins vs Canadiens: Bruins to Win
Man, I hate typing that.
But you just have to look at the form of the Habs since returning from the Olympics, and without price. We haven’t won ONE game in regulation – everything has went to overtime. Bruins have been very solid including a lot of big wins on the road. The Habs PP unit has been extremely poor of late – which is really what you want to be strong going up against the Bruins.
I like the Bruins to win this one unfortunately. 1.8 odds at http://www.5Dimes.eu for Americans(Need to register to see lines) and and http://www.Bet365.com for everyone else..
Canucks vs Jets: Jets to Win In Regulation
Jets haven’t exactly been great since returning from the Olympics, but fresh off conceding a freaking touchdown in a period, I just have to bet against the Canucks here.
Vancouver have been horrible – and boy, has it been great to watch. Jets have put in some okay performances lately and had some tight games. I can’t see either team making the playoffs, but at least there’s still some slight hope and that might just be enough for Winnipeg to push themselves on.
2.10 odds at Bovada for Americans and http://www.Bet365.com for everyone else..
Ducks vs Flames: Ducks in Regulation
Big road trip coming up for Anaheim starting with this one. I believe it’s Colorado, LA, Washington and San Jose. It makes winning this one that much more important.
Ducks have been struggling a bit lately, but I like them to come out firing here and start their road trip off with a nice win. They usually match up fairly well against the Flames. The Over 5.5 is tempting at 2.15 actually – but I’m going to stick with 1.86 odds for the regulation win.
Also to end on a high note, saw this on Reddit and absolutely loved it. Had to share:
