NHL 2010.01.28 final 5 picks:
Atlanta Thrashers @ Philadelphia Flyers
Today we will have a matchup between two teams in different situations. One team is without "fuel", the other had filed their tanks recently.
Atlanta is 5-14 in their last 19 games. We can also say they are 1-9 in their last 10 road games. This show how this team had decreased their performances. They started well the season, leaded by Kovalchuk, but suddenly it was clear that Kovalchuk wasn't enough to hold this team during all season. The result is in front of everyone. This team is struggling, and after a great results that seems the right path to playoffs, now they are almost out. Their lack of offense is bad, specially when they had a poor defense.
Flyers are going a hard path. They struggled during many games, and are trying now to compensate that bad moment in order to guarantee a playoff spot. But it's not easy, as they are many games back and in third, and there is another good second place teams in the conference. But while they believe in it, they will fight for it. Their confidence for today is high, and they have a revenge spot, as they lost 0-1 their last matchup, in that bad period. Now, both teams are in different positions and forms, with Flyers much better, with a 11-5 record. Their offense is working again, and at home, in their last 6 games, all the games they won, they won by 2 or more goals (they only lost one, with a 5-1 record).
Today we can't expect no less than a confident and strong Flyers. They have the revenge spot, they are playing much better, and they are scoring a lot. Trashers are going through a bad moment, and this is not the place to rehab.
Pick: Philadelphia Flyers PL -1.5 +170 (2.70) Bookmaker
Ottawa Senators @ Pittsburgh Penguins
Maybe there is something missing me, however i see a huge value in this line. It's easy to explain and there isn't much to say.
Pittsburgh is a well known team due to their offense. In their last 6 home games, no less than 7 goals were scored. This was after that period that they struggled, and its their kind of game right now. They support a lot their game in their offense, and despise a little bit their defense in order to focus more in offense. The results are clear, lot's of goals. Even if team try to defend and slow the game, Penguins don't let it happen. They always score, as they have great and talented offensive players. And if the opponents team don't "accept" the opportunity to score either... well, is not the kind of mentality that live in US sports. :D
Ottawa is living a great moment. That's due to their offensive line, they finally got all their talent players ok, and since they returned all to play at the same time, the team is 7-0! They will have to continue this performance as long as they can, but their defense, that has been quite well lately, will not handle for much more. Just before Christmas, their defense allowed 8 goals in Pittsburgh, and that a good sign how they are not particularly good against Penguins. But they will not quick the game because of it. Their offense has been great lately, and against a poor defense like Penguins, they will surely try to win this game by scoring more.
