NHL Hockey
Colorado Avalanche @ Calgary Flames Tuesday November 18, 2008 9:35 pm
CALGARY – The Avalanche have won three straight games but they’ve all come by a single goal. That is significant because, prior to this winning streak, the Avalanche had lost five straight games and we’re not convinced that all is well yet with this Colorado club. ... read more

Colorado Avalanche @ Edmonton Oilers Saturday November 15, 2008 10:05 pm
NHL – OILERS – Edmonton had the dreaded “first home game after a road trip” syndrome in their most recent game. After closing out their road trip with two solid wins the Oilers came home and looked flat in their first game back home. They spent too much of ... read more

Nashville Predators @ Anaheim Ducks Friday November 14, 2008 10:05 pm
UNDER ducks – Dan Ellis has been dominating between the pipes in his last two starts and he should get the nod for the start again here on Friday. In his last two starts he’s stopped 19 of 20 and then 54 of an amazing 57 shots! He’s not likely to see near that kind ... read more

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Edmonton Oilers Thursday November 13, 2008 9:05 pm
NHL – OILERS – Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers is a name you haven’t heard much but you’ll likely be hearing more about in the coming weeks, months, and future seasons. The young netminder has looked great in goal for the Oilers. He’s only played in four games ... read more

Boston Bruins @ Chicago Blackhawks Wednesday November 12, 2008 8:35 pm
BLACKHAWKS – Overall, this is a match-up of two teams who have nearly identical records in the standings. However, the importance of home ice here is not being properly factored into this line. While Boston has won just half of their eight road games this season, note that ... read more

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Calgary Flames Tuesday November 11, 2008 9:35 pm
FLAMES – The Flames are coming off of a brutal two game road trip where they got drilled in both games. Calgary is looking to, and fully expects to, get back on track tonight on home ice. The situation really couldn’t have set itself up much better than it did. The Flames ... read more

Edmonton Oilers @ New York Rangers Monday November 10, 2008 7:05 pm
UNDER rangers – The Rangers exploded for five goals in their most recent home game but that has been the exception rather than the rule for New York this season. In their six prior home game the Rangers had tallied a total of just ten goals! Overall, the Rangers offense has ... read more

Calgary Flames @ Chicago Blackhawks Sunday November 9, 2008 7:05 pm
BLACKHAWKS – Yes, we have to lay a price here but it’s well worth it. You can’t find a much stronger situation than this and yet to still be playing well under 2 to 1 odds! The Blackhawks are at home and rested for this game while the Flames are stuck on a long ... read more

Florida Panthers @ Phoenix Coyotes Saturday November 8, 2008 9:05 pm
COYOTES – Things can’t get much worse for the Florida Panthers right now and a trip to Phoenix is unlikely to help matters. The Panthers are winless in their last five games and Florida has won just once in their seven road games this season! They lost their leading scorer ... read more

Montreal Canadiens @ Columbus Blue Jackets Friday November 7, 2008 7:05 pm
MONTREAL – The Canadiens are simply a phenomenal hockey club. They are basically the best the East has to offer and now, even though they take on a team from the Western Conference, they’re unlikely to be stopped. The Blue Jackets are the only franchise to never have ... read more

Florida Panthers @ Los Angeles Kings Thursday November 6, 2008 10:35 pm

Nashville Predators @ Vancouver Canucks Tuesday November 4, 2008 10:05 pm

Columbus Blue Jackets @ New York Islanders Monday November 3, 2008 7:05 pm
NHL ISLANDERS – On the surface this may seem like an “ugly match-up” with the Blue Jackets and 4-6-1 visiting the New York Islanders at 2-7-1. However, even an “ugly match-up” often offers up line value and that is the case here. Even though Rick DiPietro, ... read more

Calgary Flames @ Anaheim Ducks Sunday November 2, 2008 8:05 pm
UNDER in Anaheim - The last time we saw the Ducks on the ice they were allowing six goals in regulation to Vancouver. That was at The Pond on Friday and the Ducks, despite scoring six goals in the game went on to lose 7-6 in a lengthy shootout! As you would expect that leaves the ... read more

Carolina Hurricanes @ St. Louis Blues Thursday October 30, 2008 8:35 pm
ST LOUIS BLUES – Oddly enough, after struggling with injuries at the goaltender position, the Blues may now have more netminders than they no what to do with! Chris Mason, the regular back-up, got hurt early this season. That’s why, when starter Manny Legace suffered ... read more

Detroit Red Wings @ Anaheim Ducks Wednesday October 29, 2008 10:05 pm
RED WINGS – The Ducks are coming back home after a very successful road trip. However, we are not convinced that all is well in Anaheim just yet. From watching the Ducks on their road trip and seeing the pattern with shots on goal, it was quite evident that Anaheim was very ... read more

Boston Bruins @ Vancouver Canucks Tuesday October 28, 2008 10:05 pm
CANUCKS –Simply put, Vancouver has been a much different team at home than they’ve been on the road this season. The Canucks were 4 for 6 with the man advantage against the Oilers on Saturday and they held Edmonton without a goal on the power play as they killed off all ... read more

San Jose Sharks @ Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday October 22, 2008 7:05 pm
SHARKS: When you play on a streak you only lose once. In other words, you can keep playing that same “streak” situation over and over again until you lose. By doing so, you will have pocketed a lot of profits before that first loss. It’s called “catching a ... read more

New Jersey Devils @ Atlanta Thrashers Thursday October 16, 2008 7:00 pm
THRASHERS – While New Jersey won 21 games on the road last season, Atlanta won 19 games at home so we’re not talking about a large disparity between these clubs. Yet the odds maker is certainly offering up some juicy line value by making the Devils quite a large favorite ... read more
