dang, finally won a game involving TOR Friday....really pushing my luck today i think....
NYR -120...........yeah, i know. laying money on the road for a team who is 0-5-1 on the road. BUT....NYR have been playing some very good hockey the past 2 weeks and i was really impressed with their game vs. the Islanders this week in just an awful spot for them. They actually led for a good portion of the game before falling in the 3P which was expected. Sean Avery coming back has been huge for NYR. One of the guys who is a grit/energy guy who can contribute as well. That helps give them 2 good solid lines to roll. TOR has been really average at home and has lost 2 or 3 in a row i believe. They still take dumb penalties, allow too many SOG/game, have an average "defensive" core and their goaltending has been shotty at best for the most part (save the Friday night shutout). Neither goalie for TOR has played well at the AC, and i am hoping to get Crapskola in net for this one. NYR playing 4I6 but with rest, TOR playing 3I4 and BB. Not the strongest play, but something tells me they get it done today. I like playing a good team off a loss who has been playing well going against a team coming off a shutout. But once again, i am really probably pressing my luck betting TOR 2 days in a row.
really having a hard time with today's card. I would like to play PHI, and still may. PIT has been awful lately. Hopefully Gagne is back. LAK at +100 haven't played since last Saturday and they are facing a DAL team playing 4I6 all on the road. DAL has owned LAK, but LAK beat them 2-1 at home a couple weeks ago. Almost have to play a rested LAK team, as both teams are .500 on the season. CAR looks interesting, as did MON but Huet has crappy numbers vs. the Sens and Gerber has been lights out.
Anyone have any solid thoughts on any other matchups or these (beyond "that line is just too high") from a handicapping angle?
been a great last 2 weeks......trying not to force plays today.....some days the whole card jumps out and other days it seems like it might as well be in japanese.....
GL to everyone!
