NHLPS Wednesday Discussion Thread

[FlyersFan]

dang....2 days with no NHL and only MLB and NBA........now i remember why i golf all summer and forget about sports....

what are the thoughts on the games today? I've got the following:

CAR/NJD.........CAR wins one of these games. I feel pretty safe in taking the road dog here in both games and doubling up in game2 if i have to.

WAS.............this is one team I do like in game1. Last year they were just happy to be here. This year not so. They are reportedly relaxed and ready to get it on. NYR are just a dismal road team and their PP is just as bad. I would be shocked unless Lundqvist stands on his head to see WAS lose game1 of this series.

PIT/PHI Over6. These 2 teams don't like each other and i would expect to see some penalties in this one. PP's should be flowing nicely especially in game1 when the refs will be out to establish the series. I think they tend to swallow their whistles more in the game6's and game7's as they don't want a call to decide a series. Game1 is always penatly filled. PHI has not been sound in their own end but they have been in the other team's end. I lean to PIT as a side play. Special teams alone i am guessing should be good for 3 goals in this one.

STL/VAN..............like the experience of VAN here in this series. Not sure i want to lay -180 but what i will most likely do is take them and then double up on them in game2 if they lose. If STL sweeps VAN at home who was 23-7-2 since February 1 then i am done capping the playoffs. And congrats to your stanley cup champion Blues.


PIT, VAN and WAS will all win at least 1 playoff game at home out of the first 2 IMO so a bet on the home team with a double up after a loss is the way to go at least for me. Also playing PIT Over.

I'll be playing the van, pitt, wash double up angle too. None of them get swept at home in the first 2.

i really think that is the way to go.

I am going the double up route on VAN, PIT, WAS and CAR (road) for the first 2.

Also played PIT Over3 1/2

Thursday i will be going small on the double up route for the SAN and BOS.

Will reevalutate after that.

But im pretty much done. Got my sportsbook payout and my betus payout this past few days so that about cashes me out. will check in and play throughout the playoffs if there is some good discussion going on. if it's a ghost town im probably going to be one too.

Go PHI..... (yeah right...)

*'d plays are chase system plays. hope they don't all lose or i'm going to be in for it with units to chase with.....

by the way....how time flies.....i could not believe the other day when i heard the TOR had missed the playoffs 4 straight years. Seems like yesterday PHI was dropping a 9 spot on TOR in the final game of that series.....

I remember Roenick scoring an OT goal in that series, winning the game 3-2 or 4-3....right after Tucker layed out someone.

9? Yeah right...

[JohnnyMapleLeaf]

It's actually 5 full years for the anti-playoffs around here....4 seasons and a lockout year.

There will be no Stanley Cup playoffs for the Leafs in 2009, and for those scoring at home, that takes the streak without games of meaning to 1,565 days and counting.


But at least we are finally going in the right direction. 4 years of mediocrity is the worst thing to do. Better to blow it up...and thats what Burke is going to do. Also read today that he is working hard to trade up for Tavares...local kid...

maybe you can trade Blake back to the NYI for the #1 pick....

my bet is TOR will sniff around the 8 hole next year and be a very good team in 2 years. doesn't take long if you have cap room, a couple of good drafts at the top and good management.

they need to get original. The Ducks have been using that for about 6 or 7 years now and everytime i hear that song i think why didn't they come up with something original. they never used to do that....


GO PHI.....

Adding the following series bets:

Changed my mind about not playing any:

CHI over CAL.....3Units


Also added PHI/PIT Over6.....1Unit

GL to everyone!

FF...

I got tickets for Game 4 of the series vs PIT....I can't wait for tonight man, I am pumped up...I am actually feeling pretty confident about the Flyers, just because they laid that egg to close the season, I feel with this team go the opposite of what you expect, everybody expects the Flyers to lay down to PIT, since they are the HOT team and the Flyers just blew home ice advantage, but I think we take home ice advantage back tonight....5-3 Flyers tonight!! I like that over as well, lets pray for GOOD MARTY!
