BIG BOARD (JRICH copywrite)......Tired of hanging around the fifty fifty mark...time to explode with a big night.
SIDES
1* Tampa Bay -1.5 goals regulation....-500 Really ??? even -300 -1/2 reg.????.....Just can't warrant a huge play because they still have to play the game....Lightning were a bit hung over after the big win in Chicago and fell short to the Panthers 4-3...the second period was marred with penalties which put the Lightning behind the 8 ball...and though trailing 4-1 managed to pull it back to 4-3 with 3 minutes left which shows they didn't quit...I wish I could find a way to make this a bigger play but even -300 in a parlay won't help. WINNER
4* Florida -160....This line opened at -180 and the public has backed the Leafs....This is why Vegas is in business...I don't care what anyone says , there is NO such thing as the smart money is on Toronto.....Florida has won 4 straight over the Leafs including a 3-2 decision in Toronto on 2/17...a game in which they were out shot 29-17 and still managed a win....The Panthers were -120 @ Toronto and now only -160 at home making a playoff push , I don't get it...but I'll take it. LOSER
3* Anaheim -1/2 goal regulation -130....One thing that The Ducks do well is beat bad teams (16-9 vs losing teams)...they get one of those in The Coyotes...They have won 5 of the L6 including wins over Detroit and LA, the lone loss to Ottawa during their scorching west coast swing....Anaheim has won 5 of the L7 between the 2 teams...The Ducks are also in a revenge status
in which they are 14-10 this season...the loss was a 2-1 game in Arizona in a game they faced Devan Dubnyk who has brought the Wild back into playoff contention in Minnesota...Tonight they face Mike Smith who is 10-34 this season...5-16 at home and 0-4 in his L4 games...Coyotes have also lost 9 straight in which they have produced only 13 goals. WINNER
3* LA -1/2 goal regulation -125...Kings have lost 3 straight after putting together 8 straight wins..LA has won 5 of the L6 between the two teams ...The loss coming in the last game they met in Edmonton...a 3-2 loss in which they out shot The Oilers 39-21 but couldn't find the net..Once again we find a team in revenge mode where the Kings are 16-12 this season...Finally the Oilers are just 3-19 this season vs. division opponents and 11-40 the L51 under the same conditions...one additional stat to add The Oilers are 1-9 the L10 home tilts with the total set at 5. WINNER
