Sorry about the delay with tips today – I was too busy trying to buy tickets for Wrestlemania. Man does the Ticketmaster site ever suck – really wish a more viable competitor would come in there.
An unfortunate losing night last night. I don’t mind losing the Panthers bet – that was for value and watching the game I think they gave as good as they got. The final score didn’t really reflect their performance and now they’ve got a day off – it’ll be interesting to see how they perform in LA on Saturday.
We lost with the Flyers/Flames going over. The joys of betting two poor teams to go over – sometimes they really struggle to hit the net. Clearly they need to replay that game with some Babcock style nets. The Flames defense showed up out of nowhere.
As mentioned yesterday we’ll be listing the best odds for where to bet each betting tip from here on out. Looking at the people who follow us – we’ll have 3 separate links. One for Americans, one for Canadians and one for everyone else. Unfortunately the everyone else rule won’t cover everyone due to specific country restrictions – but we’ll do our best.
Home Goals vs Away Goals:
A lot of solid teams on the road tonight and while all of them can’t win – we’re going to go with the Away Teams -1.5.
5 of the 6 games tonight have road favourites with the only one not being a favourite is the Blue Jackets who are going up against the Ducks. And if the Ducks have another bad offensive night it could be a long night for them.
Canada: 2.05 Odds at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv.
USA: 2.05 Odds at 5Dimes.

Colorado Avalanche vs New York Rangers:
Both these teams had really fun games last season with a 7 goal thriller and a 9 goal thriller and split the wins.
The Avs have had 3 straight games go over 5 and a push before that with a lot of out and out hockey. The only concern is after a night of back to back hockey, if the Avs have it in them to keep up with the rested and on fire Rangers.
Being at home we think they have what it takes. Over 5 goals.
Canada: 1.71 Odds at Pinnacle Sports..

Leafs vs Red Wings:
These two teams just can’t have exciting games together. Maybe if the nets were bigger?
We made a lot of money betting the under on them last season. We held off in their game earlier this season because we thought the Leafs would be fired up under Babcock. That did not happen.
Take Under 5 .

OHL Betting Tips:
Tonight we’re going to take Sarnia Sting -1.5 against the Flint Firebirds at +140 odds.
The Sting really struggled on their recent road trip – but they perform much better at home. Flint meanwhile have went off the rails with 5 straight losses. Sarnia will be out for revenge after losing 3-2 in Flint. Watched the Stings OT win over Owen Sound Attack and that was huge – think they’re going to come back with a lot of momentum for this divisional rivalry game.

What do you guys think about CBJ win vs ANA, either 2,7 win or 3,8 in regulation? I like the odds a lot
Think Jackets to win is a great value bet. Historically Jackets match up well with Ducks too. Only concern is if Jackets will be a bit flat with a B2B and that was a hard fought game against LA. But will probably bet it separately as well as our away teams bet.
Thanks Graeme! Do you like the bet more for 2,7 or in regulation for 3,8?
No -1.5 line on Unibet any other suggestions for Aussie bettors?
Bet365 allow Australians for sports betting don’t they? http://www.betnhl.ca/go/bet365.php I think Bet Online do as well http://www.betnhl.ca/go/betonline.php
I meant for Ontario hockey betting Unibet doesn’t seem to have -1.5 lines
Ah okay – there’s no games today and no lines up yet but I’ll have a look at that tomorrow if I remember.
If you ask me, i would rather bet on Oilers win vs Penguins, then CBJ win vs ANA. Also great odds. But you never know with this teams
Thing with Oilers is McDavid injury is huge. You never know how a team will handle something like that.
Thanks for the opinion. I like the odds for CBJ a lot more. I feel like ANA is likely to fail again and a big chance that CBJ will deliver. Both teams feel kind of inconsistent to me. I also think the McDavid injury is a big deal.
Guys here in the uk we have a good piece of software (which i bet u can get hold of too) its called THE STAKING MACHINE. Basically it allows me to input your bets then uses the results via around twenty back and lay (yes here in good old uk we can back a team to lose) systems to see whicj staking plan would make the most profits.At present I am afraid we are well down with level stakes (dont worry guys sure you can turn it round) however with the 1326 system we are making money.Check it out regards Jon
I come from Slovenia.
You think will win CBJ or ANA? With respect!
Thanks for the info G. Nothing like roster changes to create doubt. Pens are starting Zatloff (no disrespect). McDavid is out and Eberle is in. If the Pens lose one on this trip, my guess? They lose tonight and beat Calgary tomorrow if Fleury starts. Jackets are on a btob so you’ve got McElhinney versus Andersen and Getzlaf back so I think the Ducks have the edge. For some reason I think the Leafs can pull it off tonight. Babs knows all their secrets. I can’t see them beating the Caps on a btob. Who would they start? Reimer again or Bibeau? Should be interesting.
Colorado-NY Rangers over 5 goals
Toronto-Detroit under 5 goals
Anaheim-Columbus; to win columbus
what do you think?
I’m sad that Seth “freaking” Rollins is out for 6-9 months :'(
Me too man, but it does shake up the title picture at least. This tournament could be awesome.
I have been tracking you guys for a couple of years now and this year decided to tail you, of course now it seems like you are having one of your worse stretches I have seen in that time frame. Just asking but do you take into consideration trends? I mean I am sure you do but if you did seriously how do you not bet the under in the Tor/Det game as 7 of their last 9 games had gone under…..why fight that? Especially when you are running bad? To me this year it seems your over/under radar seems off.
We took the under yesterday? Unless you meant the game before that and I just explained exactly why we didn’t take it previously above in the tips.
My bad I read it incorrectly.
