Huge schedule for Saturday , let's try and keep this train rollin. Here we go !!!!
SIDES
1* Washington -1/2 goal regulation -140..... Caps are gelling early this year while Florida comes in on a back to back. I think this game might be a little closer than most espect, none the less I look for Washington to come out on top. LOSER
1* Boston -1/2 goal regulation -140 ..... Buffalo is just simply the worst team in the league right now and I expect there will be a lot of love to the Bruins tonight, yet Boston has just started the season at 2-4 themselves and 4 of the 6 have played to the under so it might be a little tighter than most expect as in the above game. WINNER
2* Ottawa -130..... I think it's no secret I am a BJ's supporter this season however I think Ottawa is a lot stronger this year than most expected they would be.Back up goalie Robin Lehner is in net tonight , he comes off a very strong road effort in Tampa Bay in which he stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 3-2 SO win. The Sens are on a 3 game win streak and Columbus comes in off a tough back to back against Calgary last night....should be a tight game but I'll back the Sens in a low scoring affair. WINNER
1* Detroit -145....I'll back the Red Wings off a couple things tonight, first I just think they are playing very good hockey right now with a split against Boston and a tight loss to Anaheim before routing the Leafs in Toronto last night.....secondly we find Detroit 22-4-3 the L29 when playing back to backs. WINNER
3* Tampa Bay +105.......Tampa comes off 4 days rest and a tough defeat at the hands of the Devils 2-1... And though Vancouver does look to be one of the elite teams in the West this year , they do come into this game off a back to back and though they are 3-0 this year 2 of those wins come against Edmonton, not much bragging rights there. Vegas puts this game at a virtual pick'em , I'll side with a team that comes in well rested and mentally prepared . Finally the Lightning hold a 12-3 record the L15 coming off a 3 game home stand. WINNER
TOTALS
1* SJ/NJ UNDER 5.5 -135.....I like the under here in the Devils home opener....trends to an extent between these to point to an over but in the last game between the two there were only 45 shots combined between the two teams. Both teams come off of games against high flying offenses I look for a more traditional defensive struggle today. San Jose is 34-12-6 to the under the L52 Saturday games, while NJ is 4-1 to the under the L5 Saturday games. LOSER empty net
1* FLA/WSH OVER 5.5 +110 .....We find Florida 11-2 to the Over the L13 on back to backs as well as 9-2 to the over the L11 vs. the Metropolitan Division , meanwhile the Caps are scoring at an alarming rate. They have managed 15 goals in the L3 matches against Boston, San Jose, and New Jersey 3 very strong defensive squads. I know Florida is strong defensively as well , but they should be softened up enough off the back to back. LOSER
1* CLB/OTT UNDER 5.5 -115.....Looking for the Sens to shut the BJ's down of the back to back . 3-1 Sens. WINNER
2* TOR/DET OVER 5.5 +100......Toronto 14-2 to the over the L16 Saturday games, Leafs 6-1 to the over the L7 when playing on 0 days rest. They are also 10-2-1 to the over the L13 following a home loss of 3 goals or more. Detroit is 5-1 to the over the L6 with 0 days rest. Finally the L8 between these 2 in Detroit are 5-2-1 to the over. LOSER
1* PHI/DAL UNDER 6 -120.....!!!!!The line points to the over.!!!!!!! The Flyers defense points to the over. Dallas with 2 big road wins points to a blow out. But I'm backing the under especially catching a 6. Philadelphia comes in well rested and should be much better defensively tonight, we know Dallas can play D. Flyers are 5-1 to the under the L6 against the West Central, Under is 5-1 the L6 between the 2 teams in Dallas.Finally under is 14-5-1 the L20 between the two teams over all. LOSER ........upset about this one capped it over 5.5 and switched it when I saw 6. The line pointed over as 6 held strong all day.
1* NSH/CHI UNDER 5.5 -115.... Predators playing great D, Hawks not finding the net. WINNER
1* STL/ARZ OVER 5-125.....Arizona is a track meet team right now and it's about time the Blues got the offense in gear ,both teams had low scoring affairs vs. LA, but doesn't everyone....4-3 either way. WINNER
AS ALWAYS GOOD LUCK !!!!!!! +4.20 UNITS
