    Funny thing is, Ovechkin doesn't even have an agent! lol. Keeps all the 124 as his negotiated everything all by himself.

    That's why Crosby taking 1.2 million per year less, so the Pens could have a chance to sign more young guys, says alot about his character. I mean these guys are going to make 100 million+ over their careers regardless...wouldn't you want to win for 7.5 million per year instead of losing for 9?? I would.

    Those 5000 fans they get into Caps games will be paying 20 dollars per hot dog to pay for Alexander the great in the coming seasons.....lol!

    on a side note.....congrats to those on the NYR tonight......PHI is flat tonight and the NYR are buzzing.....i swear Briere is just another player for PHI....he really isn't worth all that money....good player but not a great player.....

    they are 11-8 in their L19 games have beaten NAS, TOR, BUF, CHI x2, EDM, CBJ x2, COL, SJ x2....only 1 of those teams is even in the playoffs......and they have lost to virtually every playoff team they have played since DEC 1st....their losses were....VAN x 2, MIN, SJ, CAL, NAS, EDM, PHX.....no wins over DAL, DET, VAN...the top teams in the west.......

    i watch them play regularly and i guess "a mess" was the wrong choice of words, but they really haven't beaten anyone since DEC 1st......except SAN when they played them 3 times in a week and took 2 out of 3.......we'll find out how good they are in their next 8 games vs. DAL x 2, DET, MIN x 2, LAK, NAS and SJ
    Well...Scott Niedermayer has only been back for 12 games...thats really why I did the last 8 of 13 stat, as all the games before that really weren't the real Ducks team. He's getting better and better, and they will be there in the end with that insane defence...IMO. And bank on the fact that Burke will get another scorer before it's all said and done...


    GL tonight....let's get 'em!! :beerbang:

    Ducks are a mess?? they've won 8 of their last 13, including 2 straight blowouts! Although that was against Toronto! lol

    I actually think they repeat this year.....that defence is sick, and even better than last year with the addition of Schnieder to Pronger/Niedermayer/Beuchimen. Brian Burke will pick up another scorer (Sundin) for the playoff run, and I think that with that defence, and the strong goaltending, they will pull it out again.. having Neidermayer hitting his stride in May isn't a bad thing either....having missed the first two months.
    If you really believe that, you can probably get some decent futures on them right now...

    I like the Oilers tonight. They have been playing well, plus Winning 2 games in Alberta is tough. Plus streaks have to end sometime, right?

    I might wait and see if Garon is net tonight, he should be tho, as he has been playing well. With Hemsky back, the powerplay is much better. And Souray has been booming his shot from the point lately, 2 posts and a crossbar in last 2 games. With their emotional leader Moreau back they have been playing well.

    Plus good value on the home team. And anytime Gretzky is back in town it's a great atmosphere.

    I also like St. Louis tonight, b2b games on the road is tough especially when you are playing a pretty good team and a good home team.

    I like Philly tonight. They are playing well and get lots of players back, while the rangers are without Straka and Avery for sure, and Shanny is playing very hurt.

    What he means is, PHX will win about 48.15% of the time. :gulp:

    I've been making some nice coin by taking the Yotes away from home. They've been deadly on the road ever since picking up Bryz.

    The Oilers have been playing some decent hockey lately though. Hemsky has 4 points in two games since coming back from being injured and Garon has been outstanding in every way. I'm thinking the OT prop might be a good bet here...
    yeah, i agree with all of that. Thing of it is, EDM is a completely different team with Hemsky. Horcoff can't play without the guy apparently. He goes from a 2 point a game guy with him to a bunch of zeroes without him. Souray is playing and that other young D-man they have in EDM has been good as well....and Garon has been good in net...not great but good.......i mean -110/-115 for EDM at home tonight is a great price and i don't see much value in PHX -105/-110...i mean if you are playing a team like PHX (even though they are a good road team) i would want a little better value than that. Going to check and see who is in net before i make a final decision. Other thing that bothers me is that PHX is so streaky....won 4, lost 3, won 5......and they've won 5 in a row. But then again, PHX has won 5 in a row...lol....and quite frankly they haven't beaten any premiere teams in the run. COL x 2 who is a complete mess without Sakic and Smyth, CHI who is just a mess, ANA who is also a mess and CAL.......thing about it is, EDM has been very impressive, IMO, in B2B home wins over NYI and NYR and they seem to be a different team with Hemsky.

    you don't have any thoughts on your OILCAN vs. PHX??
