Halak got "lit up" his last @ Montreal 4-6 BUT has been good at the "bounce back after getting "bombed" this season. only really "loose" games 2 in a row was the Blues home-home early December

chancing 5 1/2 UNDER +110

BOL today LRR, flames look pretty nice tonight at that price. Interested to get your thoughts on that one

OH boy...we are both going under, although I got it at 6 and the SOB's score 2 right off the bat. Let's see some MLS on ice the rest of the way.
About nap time isn't it?

GL today LRR

thanks djcbulls and Doc. Ya looks like the Islanders might MAKE the freeking OVER themselves. just have to hope Halak keeps the "Fruitfly's out

definitely leaning CC's tonight @ LA, djcbulls with "Joni Goalie" Ortio vs "Not So" Quick

4:35pm
Hurricanes [+140] +132 total 5 1/2 +105
Maple Leafs [-155] -145 total 5 1/2 -125 (-1 1/2 [+180] +185)
Khudobin vs Bernier

Hurricanes won the only meeting this season 4-1 @ Raleigh

Hurricanes won their last road @ Ottawa 3-2 with Khudobin in goal. lost previous 4 and 5 of 6 roads, all 1 goal games. "Kaboom" has won his last 4 starts with 2 GA's or less in each. 3 of the wins shootouts. had lost his previous 9 starts mostly from NO "goal support". his last 5 and 8 of last 9 starts went UNDER a 5 1/2

Maple Leafs first back from a WRECK of a road trip where they lost all last 4 games scoring a total of 1 (yes ONE) goal. have scored 2 GF's or less in 8 of their last 10 and have just 3 wins in their last 15 games, DID win their last home vs BJ's 5-2. Bernier lost last 3 and 5 of last 6 starts. allowed 3 GA's his last 2 and 3 or more in 7 of last 10

chancing Hurricanes +132 and  5 1/2 UNDER -125

well Halak didn't have the "bounce back" I expected allowing 4 GA's to the lately low scoring "Fruitfly's" AND "Led" Zepp crashed like the Hindenburg with 7 GA's. freeking Islanders make the OVER themselves. UNDER 5 1/2 = LOSE

Kings lost their last 2 and 5 of their last 6 @ Staple's Center allowing at least 4 GA's in 4 of those. they have only 2 wins in their last 9 overall. Jonathan has been "Not So" Quick losing his last 4 and being pulled vs the Predators after giving up 3 GA's on 12 shots. has 1 win his last 7 games played and is 1-9 in OT/SO games his last 10

chancing the "Calgary Cockroach" +165. sometimes a team just get another team's number (ref: Jets vs Blackhawks). also leaning OVER 5 1/2 +120 because the Kings and Quick have been unusually "loose' lately

Devils +180 total 5 -115
Sharks -210 total 5 -105 (-1 1/2 +140)
Schneider vs Stalock

Hosersharks won the only meeting this season 4-2 @ New Jersey and 4 going to "history back"

Devils lost last @ Anaheim 1-5. are 1-3 their last 4 and are 9-17 on the road this season. still have oodles of players out sick on in the infirmary. Schneider has won 3 of his last 4 starts BUT was pulled @ Anaheim with an upper body injury. NJ scribes say he is OK for tonight.

Hosersharks lost their last @ home to CC's 3-4 in OT. have been kind of "zig zag" lately winning two then losing two. not that great @ San Hoser this season going 11-10. Stalock won his last start 4-3 OT @ Angry Beavers. lost previous vs Canucks 1-3. he has been pretty much "zig zag" his season like the Sharks themselves

another one just to watch although leaning UNDER 5 -115 just on the teams totals records

Kinda like the Flames too
Liking the TT over 2.5
