Early season struggles continue however I love tonight's card that includes a 3* play...we are 1-0 on 3*'s so far , probably the only positive note so far. I never surrender. Looking for a huge night ...Here we go
SIDES
2* San Jose -110...Sharks are 21-4 the L25 vs. Washington including a 10-3 mark the L13 in Washington....meanwhile the Sharks have yet to surrender a goal in 6 periods this season...these are numbers I just can't ignore. Winner
3* Columbus -120...I really don't understand this number being so low , but if it's a trap I'm falling for it...We have 2 teams that have clearly started the season in opposite directions with Columbus at 2-0 and having no problem in finding the net scoring 8 goals in the first 2 games , meanwhile Dallas is 0-2 and has struggled scoring only 3 goals in their first 2 matches. Throw in that Columbus is 3-1 the L4 vs. Dallas and once again these are numbers I just can't ignore. Loser
1* Nashville -1/2 goal regulation -110...This selection is purely based on the Predators early season defense, as well as the extended home stretch to start the season. Meanwhile Calgary is in the midst of a 6 game road trip to start the season, these 2 teams usually get after it with the L5 games going over the posted total , I look for a different kind of game tonight as Nashville gets the win in a low scoring affair. Loser
2* LA Kings -1/2 goal regulation -135...Kings finally get in the win column by beating up a hapless Winnipeg squad the other night and now things get even better as Edmonton comes to town...This is just the tonic the Kings needed to cure their ills....Kings in a cruise 4-0.
TOTALS
2* NYI/NYR over 5.5 +105....If this game was at the Islanders I probably would have made it a 3* The Rangers have surrendered 13 goals in 3 games so far, meanwhile The Isles have posted 9 in their 2 matches...unless something drastically changes over night it's a 4-2 game either way.Winner
2* SJ/WSH under 5.5 -125.....As stated in the above post The Sharks have yet to yield a goal this year I can't believe this total isn't 5.Loser
1* CLG/NSH under 5.5 -125....Once again as stated above these 2 have played to the over 5 of the L5 , I'm bucking the trend for once...come on now folks ,when do we ever get a 5.5 @ Nashville. Winner
1* EDM/LA under 5 +100.....Kings blank Edmonton , game stays under.
AS ALWAYS GOOD LUCK !!!!!
