Cool, quite breezy. Maybe some showers.  Not a great night for football.

There is no way in hell this comes close to 50 points.

Lock the UNDER in.

Winnipeg crowd will be extra pumped with all that air horn non-sense last week in Montreal.

Trevor Harris has looked like a washed up bum for most the season thus far, the extra noise the first few series can't bode well for him.  Probably will result in penalties or a pic.

I'll take the -5 for the 1st half.

NJ played in VAN last night, both their goalies saw action.  Come into Alberta and face the Flames tonight, who have had 2 full days rest for the first time this March.

Honestly see NJ getting blitzed by minimum 3 goals. 

Sutter will have them ready from the bell.

ROUTE.

Mike Smith starting does Edmonton no favors either.

Toronto in a romp.

Rittich can be shaky at times.

Isles definitely have a shot.

Oilers were going to have a hard enough time winning this game in regulation time tonight I felt.  Now, I see Skinner is listed as the starter, wow.

Smith a hurt old fart, and Koskinen unreliable.  Oilers haven't looked good the past 6 six games, and TORTS probably put the team in more of a funk with his comments on tv.

Oilers may have to turn it into a shootout to have a chance.

But I'll gladly take my chances with Paul Maurice and the Jets.

UNDER 17.5

Vancouver given up 17 goals past 3 (something has to change/back to basics)

Don't see expansion Seattle putting more than 2 up against Flower

Washington played last night, Quick only needs to be steady.

Both teams haven't played in a few days.  

Flyers first trip out west, 8:00pm MDT start.  Wonder how much gas the Flyers will have in the tank come 3rd period.

Don't like Hart here against the Oil. 

6-2 EDM

Oilers take the show on the road for the first time this season.  Arizona in 3 games have managed to allow at least 7 goals in 2 of the 3 games, 7 to STL, 8 to Columbus.  

Oilers will start Koskinen, which Koskinen will show up?

OVER 

6-3 EDM

Ducks on 2nd half of a back to back.  

Ducks have given up 43 shots to teams in their last 2 games.  Gibson played last night. They give up that many chances to the Oilers they will sure to get roasted tonight.

5-2 Oilers

Looks like the same old Oilers.  Getting outplayed badly at times, coughing up another lead late on a really really bad goal by Mike Smith, one you have to stop.  But when your age almost matches your jersey number, the organization assumes the risk.

Fans rejoice, panel has lots of praise.

Don't fool yourself, if Travis Green doesn't blow it with his choice of shooters in the shootout, the Canucks get the 2 points.  

One of the best pre-season lineups for the Canucks thus far tonight.  Oilers stacked as well, looks like old Mike Smith will play the whole game.

6.0 over should hit.

Feel a bit more comfortable going 1st period OVER 1.5

Looks pretty much like regular season line-up for the Flames tonight in Edmonton, Markstrom will start.

Waiting on Edmonton line-up.

Looks garbage including the goalies Skinner and Rodrigue.

Definitely leaning Seattle, will have to check for their line up info.

Stamkos line in tonight.  Pretty decent line-up for both teams.

Brain Elliott to see his first action for TB tonight.  No need to read anymore.

1st period OVER 1.5

OVER 5.5

@GASportsDoc

 Nice.  Got home late and just read this post, or could have parlayed the Jets and Leafs.

No surprise both teams cruised tonight.

@MAINEBLACKBEERS

 Bob Stauffer is great on Twitter telling you what the lineup is on game days for the Oilers.

I search twitter for info, lots of hockey media type accounts on there who have good info. 

Also noticed, NHL.com started to do it last year.  Doubt they will have any pre-season info, but who knows. 

Exact opposite line up from last night for Oilers.  However, Jets looked stacked with the vets.

WPG -1.5

Line up stacked with vets tonight, yes, including McDavid and the 2 veteran goalies.

First time with fans in the stands in a long time.

I hate betting the Oil, but the stars are aligned and they should at least double the Kraken.

On field product, absolutely horrible.  Might be the ugliest game I have ever witnessed in this league.  

Refs can't even tell a incomplete pass from complete.

Davis and Watford should pursue other careers.
