FULL DISCLOSURE: All my bets are one (1) unit unless otherwise specified. I count all Action Reverse and Round Robin parlays as a single win or loss pending the outcome being plus or negative (just a paperwork thing).
PHL -108 This is a play mainly on Carter Hart at home. He’s been excellent at Wells Fargo Center and posted a 20-3-2 record on home ice along with a .943 Save% and 1.63 GAA last season. Those are tough numbers to bet against. I also feel the Flyers, under Vigneault are trending up whereas Pittsburgh is getting a tad older and, imo doesn't have enough depth around pivots Crosby and Malkin. I do like the addition of Jason Zucker and Kapanen, though but I think their PP unit feels the loss of Hornqvist in front. I do think the top two lines can be productive when healthy, but the jury is still out on Tristan Jarry as the unquestioned #1. Philly is getting back Lindblom and Nolan Patrick and could see a step up from Farabee on the offensive end.
PHL/PIT over 6 +115
Good luck to everyone! More bets to come in a bit.

Let's have a better BK...expect good things out of Hart but can't go against my Flightless Fowl. I am interested in seeing the Rags this year. I think they will be much improved and their games will be a high scoring affair.

MON +122 I think the Canadians are a legitimate playoff team. Looing to build on a nice little bubble run last year where they surprised some people, but it was with some strong center play by Suzuki and Kotkaniemi that propelled them. Can the young players take that step forward and prove their bracket play last year wasn’t a fluke? I think so. Montreal upgraded their depth and veteran leadership with some nice additions, and I think what they have in place now along with Carey Price (and a legit backup in Jake Allen now) has them playoff bound. The Leafs are…well, the Leafs. Lot of skill up front but never seem to mesh defensively which will again be their downfall this year. I know they added Brodie to help the blue line but I just don’t think this team will ever buy in to team defense. The only coach that could probably fix them as they’re built right now is Barry Trotz.
TB -1 ½ +102 The Hawks are rebuilding. They didn’t sign Corey Crawford who was a rock for them for many seasons and now will reply on Chris Delia and Malcolm Subban. I have been fading Subban games for a few seasons now. He has a career save % below .900 while playing on some very strong teams and now finds himself on a rebuilding club as a rotational goalie. He wasn’t good at all last season with a .890 Save% and 3.17 GAA. Chicago still has some core players in place and if DeBrincat can bounce back they should be able to put up some good offensive numbers but don’t see them keeping the puck out of the net much. Enter Tampa Bay with no Kucherov but still loaded with offense. They finally won that elusive Cup and despite being cap strapped somehow maintained their roster other than Kevin Shattenkirk…who won’t be missed. They have talent, depth and experience to overcome the Kucherov loss and hum through the regular season.
COL -1/2 -115 St. Louis is going through a bit of an identity change losing caption and face of their franchise Alex Pietrangelo and basically swapping him out for the stylistically opposite Torey Krug. They still haver an interesting top 6 that can play a grinding type of game but I think this team is all about whether Binnington bounces back after a weird year of inconsistency—he struggled on the road with a .903 Save% and 3.10 GAA so we’ll see if that carries over. Colorado is my pick to win the Cup. I love their top line, their top six, their components on defense and I have faith in Grubauer in net when healthy. Siding with the home team here to get it done in regulation.

A lot of this early season betting is just really a crap shoot. Who knows how any team will rally come out and play out of the gate...and no fans or some fans, whatever it may be. Similar to Hart, I think Shesterkin will be the guy who determines the success of his team (not saying much as you obviously need good goal work). The Rangers are definitely an interesting team to watch this year, should be entertaining, but whether they can win consistently with so many young players...can only wait and see.

Bartender, correct me if I'm wrong. you came on here had a really good season, than the last 2 you tapped out correct? GL this year!
I've been a member of these forums for over a decade. I lost my job 3-4 years ago and because I had so much free time I decided to try and contribute and post here more than normal. The free time really gave me the ability to research more than normal and it showed as I had a consistently fantastic season. The following year I went back to work and had less time to research how I'd like but continued to try and post...had a great first half then a mediocre second half. Last year I couldn't get out of my own way. It was like the complete opposite of three years ago. My schedule is a bit different than the last two years so we'll see if I can find the mark again. I generally never make picks the first month of any season (although here I am) and I usually peter off as we get into the playoffs because I don't like the lack of options being taken away as match-ups dwindle.

It’s alright. I’m hesitant to play anything this early. Laid off tonight. Will probably hit tomorrow....my angle early in the season is live plays....next goal. Taking a dog down early at heavy value and so on....pre game picks offer little to no value this early consider the season as a whole for what it is. These shortened seasons historically are a wild ride and it will be ugly especially without fans....so I’ll wait and see how this ride shows out before really diving in....some teams need their footing. Some will jump out quick. Some just won’t show up at all....and then there’s corona LOL.

Oh I'll take any positive day, especially this early. Just hoping to have my head above water in the first month. I rarely bet out of the gate, but dealing with such a weird year...I've just been itching to research and watch games.
I really liked that dog Montreal bet and it looked good mid-way through but couldn't hang on.
Live betting is smart. Get a feel for how the game is going then look for something to pull the trigger on.
I love my Rangers tomorrow but I think they need a home crowd to really play well so I'll be staying away from them.
