Sorry. Late reply. I posted from work on my phone then well...had to work lol. Hope you guys had a profitable day!

Maybe the Bills will get it done 

Keep it up Bartender. Start of the season is always a bit fluky. 

Don't be scared to bet on the NFL or NBA. Personally I've found luck on the NBA. 

1/11-1/17 9-7 +$278.00

Overall 9-7 +$278.00

CAR -1 ½ +105 If anything I expect this to be a bigger win than opening night. Greiss played on his head the whole game and was excellent. I’m not a big fan of his though and don’t see him stealing games as much as just being overwhelmed and cracking more often than not as the season goes on. Carolina was a top 3 Corsi team last year and Detroit was dead last. So not only does Detroit just not have the skill to be a puck possession team but they were also dead last in shooting percentage so even when they got the puck, created scoring chances…they do not convert. Its all a lack of skill right now for this rebuilding team. The Hurricanes had the Corsi advantage in the first meeting 68-32%. Yikes!

BOS -1/2 -140 Speaking of low Corsi teams, let us talk about the Devils. Last year they were also a bottom three Corsi team. Lack of talent generally leads to lack of puck possession. They probably improve on that mark this year, but Boston controlled the first game from a Corsi perspective in the opener 55-44%. Not sure about the goalie matchups but either way I like Boston’s netminder over whoever Jersey sends out tonight especially with Boston out chancing the Devs at a 3-1 pace.

MON -112 My favorite bet from opening night. Loved the dog action on a team I think can grab a playoff spot if they get strong play from their two young centers. Anyway, they blew a 3-1 lead and eventually lost. Edmonton can score but they give up too many quality chances against and don’t have the elite goaltending to cover up those mistakes. Thought I’d get dog money here again, but I guess home/road games are just a matter of location at this point.

VGK -1/2 -180 Just a better overall team playing at home (does it matter?) against a bottom feeding team. Maybe the Ducks have some bursts here and there but they’re not very dangerous over a full 60 minutes. The Knights outpaced the Ducks in high danger scoring chances 8-1 in their last game and cashed in on three of them. Knights have the roster and goaltending to dispatch of a lower tier Ducks team same as last game.

3-team puck line parlay *quarter unit*

BOS -1 ½ +132, CAR -1 ½ +105, VGK -1 ½ +102

25/215

@NYBartender

 Thoughts on pens? I’m leaning pens and under....market over reaction to JARRY horrible play but I can’t bring myself to back him or the pens at this point. 

WASH/PIT over 6

at work so no write up. Don’t love Pittsburgh. DeSmith starting today. Both Pens games hit the over this season. That’s it lol 

Good luck, people! 

@vaas187

 I’m confused lol. You said you can’t bring yourself to back the Pens or Jarry but then said you’re leaning Pens and under lol ?? 

:19 in 1-0 PIT as I’m writing this 

WASH/PIT over 6 

Today: 1-0 +$100.00

@NYBartender

 nice hit man, i wanted to do it but couldn't find 6

Nice hit!  I am holding out hoping for a Crosby goal on a prop play.

@NYBartender

 I was playing devils advocate to myself. I played the over only....

leaning chicago tonight but maybe stay away. Single game on the board. Can’t play every game or you always lose 

By you I mean in general. Not you specifically lol. Nice hit

I'm about to leave work so I haven't been paying much attention to the game. I did like Chicago tonight...only because Florida hasn't played a game yet and despite Chicago having a talent deficit...they should have some of the rust gone which could be a big advantage.

...which it wasn't. They lost 5-2 lol
