Got the beers chilling at home already! Have a great season guys...
Hurricanes -154 vs Habs - loss...damn habs
Really think the canes have a solid year, and win that division this year. They are real deep up front, and I see a great year for Ward in net. Habs did nothing of consequence in the offseason, and lost their PP QB. Huet a flash in the plan, IMO and we will see Price take over by mid-season. Have to take the better team in a home-opener.
Avalanche -145 vs Stars - win
See FF's thread....I feel the same way. Avs have the deeper team here. Defence a wash, goaltending a slight edge to Dal (although Budaj is no slouch), so that would mean the Dallas forwards would have to out-score the Avs forwards...and I don't see that happening....especially in Denver. If a guy like Jusi Jokinen scores 3 goals to lead Dallas to a win, then so be it....but I don't see that happening.
Sens/Leafs OVER 6 -117 - win
No way I can back the Leafs with the way Ottawa has owned the Leafs in home-openers, and the way Ottawa looked unbeatable in the Preseason going 7-0.....BUT, I do see some goals in this one. These two traditionally play high-scoring games...each team's first lines seem to be clicking early (Spez/Heat/Alfie + Mats/Nik/Blake)....and both Leaf goalies looked shakey in the P.S.. Feels like a 5-4 type game. Also don't trust Gerber.
Staying away from Detroit, as the best line I can see is -210. Crazy. I don't care if the Ducks slept in Hong Kong on Monday....they are still a very good team. So It's a no-play.
2 Units. GL and enjoy the games!
