Nucks vs Flyers UNDER 5.5 (BIG)

I am new here, and wasn't going to register but I saw so many people on the OVER 5.5 in the Nucks/Flyers game.

I am curious as to why you are taking this play?

Between Luongo and Bryzgalov making his Philly debut after only letting in 1 goal off of 43 shots..makes you think the UNDER is the play here.

I actually woke up this morning praying it was 5.5 and not 5.

And I forgot to mention as you already probably know, Ryan Kesler is still out for the Canucks.

Henrik Sedin suffered a charlie horse yesterday and missed practice, and Marco Sturm hurt his wrist last game, but is expected to play.

Flyers are completly healthy and want to show the NHL world that they mean business and will have a tight defensive game with Pronger on the backend and Bryzgalov in net.

Only way this does go OVER, is if Luongo lays an egg. But he is one of the best goalies in the league, on the road...in the regular season.

One last thing, the past few matchups between the two teams have gone OVER but you have to understand...The Flyers have had goaltending problems for the past 15 years, until now of course.

And also, this is the 3rd time the Flyers have a home opener against the Canucks. The Flyers won the previous two, with both games going over. And those two matchups were back in the 70's and 2001. No Luongo for the Nucks at that time obviously.

UNDER 5.5 (5 UNITS)

Flyers ML (1 UNIT)

Funny you said that..Because I just laid $540 to win $400 Flyers ML. The UNDER is still a solid pick, but the Flyers get it done tonight early in the game and they never look back.

LOL I figure I would piss some Nucks fan off by throwing that in. Great goalie just not confident when the big game is on the line.
