Ang's NHL <<Thursday>>

[FlyersFan]

Dustin Penner may be the worst signing for the money in hockey in ages. Wow is he stinking up the joint.....zero shots on goal tonight and has 2 points in what, 6 games. You can't give a guy that kind of money and have him be "one of the guys". He may pan out down the road, but he sure isn't doing anything now. I feel bad for oilcan fans. Out of their top 2 freeagent signings...one gets in a fight and is out 4 weeks, the other is invisible.

[FlyersFan]

sucks they couldn't get an EN goal for you seeing LAK pulled the goaltender with like 2 minutes left......oh well....

[flmmkrz]

FYI, fishy lines now 4-0 this year......EDM over SAN, NYR over WAS, ATL over NYR and CAL over DAL............im telling you guys, these games where the oddsmaker sets a strange line usually tell you which way to go. i am just too chicken to have played ATL tonight...i am playing them from now on no matter what. you will end up on the right side more than the wrong side.

agreed, I'll be doing the same. We'll force each other not to puss out ff

and 3-2 flames

[flmmkrz]

[Angelus]

Not looking like a good night...

Devils can't score. Rangers get embarrassed.

And freaking Calgary again! I fade them on the road...they win like crazy...then I tail them when they get home and their down 2-0 to LA???? :bang:

[PhillyFan3]

[JohnnyMapleLeaf]

2-0 Thrashers early...you were right, FF! lmao.

I have another bad night tonight, and I just might stick to the NFL & CFL. :bang:

NHL Center Ice Package for 149.00 for the whole year and the first 3 rounds of the playoffs....it is definitely worth it. :thumbs:

Cool - thanks FF. I just wish I wasn't on the road so much. I love the NHL - surprised about all the news recently about the failing NHL (i.e. Detroit not selling out for the first time, etc.) that the media puts out there. Not sure why it's criticized so much.

Guys who are into football should love hockey...hell, in hockey, they let 'em beat the sh** out of each other. Football, they suspend and fine the guy.

I'm a big Bougaard fan - he is one tough OB.

Anyway, thanks again for the info.

which is why I left the game alone. ATL may well pull it out but at +110 is it really worth the risk. A new bench boss is great and all but can he make a philosophical and strategical change this quickly. This is still the same bunch of losers who were pullin an 0fer so far so I wanted to see more value to bring me on. At the same time its almost begging you to play the rangers so i'd rather just sit it out. No matter what side I would play on I would feel stupid at the end if I were on the wrong side. I mean if the rangers win and I was on atl I would think why would I bet on this bad atlanta team, if I bet the rangers and atlanta won i'd be thinking I got taken by the line.

that's pretty much my thinking and it's why i haven't been able to pull the trigger on ATL...no value worth the risk of taking what has been an awful team so far. but i sure wouldn't land on the NYR either....JMO....

GL tonight Ang

JML- i never said i was on it YET, but it is ATL or nothing in this one. And i have actually been eyeing ATL since last night in flmrrz thread. I agree on ATL defense. One thing i heard that was great insight yesterday on XM was that Hartley was a beat 'em up forecheck'em guy. This team is a bunch of 5'10 175 pound little guys especially the youngsters and they are built as a puck possession team. They are going to start playing more puck p hockey. Also, Hartely had all but wrecked Lehtinen. The GM is jumping behind the bench and i think you will see a different style of play out of ATL in the future. Are they a playoff team, no way. does their D stink, of course. Are they going to go winless, heck no. Personally, i thought this line would come about NYR -145 and i would get a decent take back with ATL, which im not getting because the line is so short. Which tells me something, IMO. And it is a little disappointing to be honest only to get like +110 with ATL tonight.

JML - just curious - do you subscribe to any kind of tv service that allows you to watch all the games? If you do, I'd like to hear what you think of it. I travel for work, so I'm thinking it wouldn't be worthwhile for me. I have to check scores from hotels in the morning.

Also, what do you think of the o/u lines for periods (i.e. o/u 1.5)?

No you wouldn't be on Detroit 82 times, beacuse usually a talent gap like this is -200, making it a no-play... not -113....at that price it is a must play for me, fishy or not. from what I've seen...ATL's defence could be the worst group the HL has seen thepast 5 or 6 years. They lost too much, and didn't upgrade anything...and NY is just waiting to break out...what better time??

I agree with everything you say, but I gotta go with what I think is the right play in that one. I'll believe your Atlanta play when I see your hard earned cash down on it. lol.

now I expect Stifler to make an apprearance in pucks and play the thrashers. lol!

Gl FF....good insight :thumbs:
