wanted to see if some people had thoughts on a couple of games....
SAN/WAS.....WAS opened -125 and is trying to avoid its longest losing streak in a while. They haven't beaten SAN in 12 years and Nabokov has a crazy 8-0 1.89GAA against the Caps. Now most of those were when WAS stunk, so toss a lot of that out, but SAN put a thumping on the Caps in SAN last year and from reading some articles, the WAS players seem to remember that one. I am really skeptical about WAS ability to keep the puck out of their own net, but i really am leaning to fading the trends and playing the Caps today as a small favorite at home.
COL/MTL..............amazingly this is the opener for MTL...:dunno:. 5 straight on the road to start the season. COL in the middle of a 6 gamer on the road and coming off 2 straight road wins. I would normally fade MTL in this spot but they've been home since Saturday and got 2 good days of practice in to fix some things. I don't see how you can be flat for your home opener, especially with all the new faces playing their 1st game in MTL. MTL opened -145 and i am tempted to go against COL in this spot and take MTL.
DET -200 is too much but LAK playing 3I4 and B2B against a DET team that is not playing well at all defensively. Anyone have an angle on that one?
CHI/NAS.....no way im playing NAS the way they are going and missing dumont and not having a clear cut goalie (rotation game) and neither goalie is playing well. 1 goal L3 games including 2 at home. No thanks. Better places to put your money, but not sure i want CHI and their goalie woes either playing b2b on the road. Travel is not a factor as both teams need to get from their game wednesday to nashville for thursday's game.
OTT/TAM really don't have a read on either team....
my strong leans are WAS and MTL, but haven't played anything yet. Wanted to get some thoughts on those especially.
GL to everyone!
