here's my other thoughts....
Minny always plays us (van) tough and word is Backstroms in the pipes. Hard to go against this nucks team as they've risen to the occasion almost every opportunity in these so called statement games. Im pulling for my boys of course but im not on the game.
Sharks without marleau and Hannan from the sounds of it. Turco seems to like the match up judging by his success against the sharks. I don't love either side enough to make a play.
Canes/Thrash, the 2 most unreadable teams in hockey, im definately out but if theres a gun to my head im taking atl. The new additions seemed to add some life and the canes are a mess.
Nash/Ana, gimme the ducks. Nashvilles freakin deep but Sullivan and Arnott have been monster performers for them and sounds like both are sitting this one out. What went from a 3 offensive line mismatch turns into 2 big lines and the ducks can hang with a 2 line team with the dmen they got. Divisional tilt up next with Detroit as well, and then off the one today. Bigger game for the ducks. I'm going to be locking this one in once I can confirm Jiggy is a go and not that putz Bryzgalov.
ottawa/chicago - im not laying -220 on a road fave and im not taking chicago so I guess im not betting this game.
Devils/Bruins - Tough not to take the devils here especially after they choked the game away to toronto a couple nights ago. If Brodeurs a go, it might be worth laying the chalk.
Colorado/detroit - the avs are betting suicide, losing one day to a bottom feeder to beating up on cup contender the next. I told myself I wont bet on them anymore and while I like the wings im not touching it. Not that I see the odds out on it either tho
