11 W -6 L clear profit in units +55,5

last night it was 50% eff as Montreal failed to win, but never the less profit was made and that's what matters.

Toronto-Ottawa 2,60 4,00 2,10

One of the most interesting game for me tonight. Best team this season on a road game against maybe one of the weakest defense on a tour so far. Ottawa with offense power, solid goalkeeper and solid defense against Toronto who has some team problems should IMO win and with such good odds shouldn't have problems tonight. Although just last 3-2 win against Buffalo i belive they should be able to score much more against Toronto. Tonight goalies are M.Gerber for Ottawa (12 W 1 L SV% .943 GAA 1,75) and Vesa Toskala for Toronto (5 W 6L SV% .889% GAA 3,55) who recovered from recent flu. Ottawa is 3-0 this season against poor Toronto and should IMO continue this. Toronto still missing Kubina and Colaiacovo. Ottawa should with ease over overcome hendicap.

Pick: Ottawa to win in regular time 2,10 10/10

Montreal-Boston 1,95 4,00 3,10

What to say about this match. Montreal seem to be struggle lately and IMO will have problems tonight against Bruins. Odds on Boston is more then good enough for me to try them especially as Montreal will have their second goalie starting tonight Carey Price (4 W 1L SV% .919% GAA 2,44). Boston will start with Tim Thomas on goal (7W 4L SV% .950% GAA 1.68. This will be though match and probably under as boston this season has 4 overs and 13 unders while Montreal has 8 overs and 10 unders. Only important missing P. Bergeron for Boston.

Pick: Boston in regular time 3,10 5/10
Under 5.5 1,80 5/10


Los Angeles-Phoenix 1,95 4,00 2,85

One of the best bets along with Ottawa tonight IMO. LA are huge favorites in this match and they have h2h in LA arena says: Phoenix (7-10-0) has won only two of its last 18 games at Los Angeles, going 2-10-2 with four ties - including 1-2-1 last season. Another good thing to prove my bet might be A. Auld on Phoenix goal tonight ( 3W 6L SV% .880% GAA 3,54) while King will start with Jason LaBarbera solid goalie ( 4 W 4L SV% .910% GAA 2,60). LA Kings are much better ranked in PP and PP killing. All in all everything tends to be Kings night.

Pick: Los Angeles win -1,5 2,70 8/10

Nashville-St.Louis 1,95 4,00 2,85

Well i have to try one what might seem crazy bet tonight! I will go with draw on this bet mainly because of one reason. St. Louis are without TIE (16 games) this season (Nashville 1 TIE) and i smell DRAW on this match. Goalie for tonight are Hannu Toivonen (STL) and Chris Mason (NSH).

Pick: DRAW 4,00 4/10

If i find something interesting bit later i will make some more previews.

Being able to watch Jonathan Toews and Patrik Kane is a privilege, and I have no doubts these two will turn into great players as years pass by. The Hawks are playing rather well this season and even though I said they probably won't be able to reach the playoffs this year I might revise that thought for a while. Western Conference Central is possibly the toughest division in the NHL so it will be interesting to see how far these boys can go this year.
As a situational capper, I try to exploit spots, not always team strengths per se. For example, the Red Wings are a class above Chicago this season, they are showing small signs of slowing down a bit.

Coming off of two defeats (v STL earlier this week and at Chicago last weekend), even though they've had plenty of rest and could make a huge statement tonight, I'll take my chances. Hasek is on and off, has a few solid nights then has one horrid one, Zetterberg finally ended his streak (perhaps a game or two without his superb contribution in order(?), and if that's the case the production will fall on Holmstrom too much, since Datsyuk isn't in his goal scoring mode yet), and moreover, these boys from Chicago seem to have Red Wings' number this season. 3 games, 3 wins for Chicago. Kane was phenomenal in those games, Khabibulin (pronounced: "Habbi-boolyin" (not Kabibullin)) stopped some big shots (even though he hasn't been brilliant overall this year), and you have to give credit to Blackhawks' special teams. This team is very well coached, and they seem to be taking their chances. They dropped two in a row and are on the road, which isn't "inviting" at first, but remember, this team is 3-0-0 v Detroit this season and 4-3-1 on the road. I can see them getting their 5th road win tonight in all honesty. The Red Wings are better, but the line already reflects all that. What I think the line does not reflect that much is the fact Blackhawks have been beating them THIS season. Not 4 years ago, but NOW. Also, the Hawks are not just Kane and Toews. Guys like Lang, Williams, Lapointe, Ruutu, Wisnievski, these guys are stepping up right now, and it shows on the ice.
Fair line for the ML would be 2.85-2.90 in my eyes.

The Rangers managed to overcome the back to back factor and step up in the shootout, which marked Flyers' first home loss of the season. However, the Devils are a different story. Brodeur has been waiting for his win number 500 since NJ beat Philadelphia in Prudential center on November 8th, he even called his players out but it didn't help, they lost to the Rangers and the Islanders last night, without scoring a goal.
New Jersey are 0-2 in back to back games this year, one of those 2nd of b2b games took place at Wachovia, Philly won 4-0. The Flyers are definitely ready to step up this year, the fact that they have lost two in a row only ONCE (in a tough b2b spot, meeting one Florida team then the other) says a lot really, despite losing Gagne, Kapanen, despite having a very tough schedule so far, including an 8 game road trip. Not bad for a newly assembled bunch, a team that were rock bottom last season.
Their special teams have been great, powerplay ranks 5th in the league (3rd at home), penalty kill has been improving, while Devils are bottom in both categories, same as any offensive stats.
Brodeur is a great goalie and is a future hall of famer no doubts, but not even he was sharp as he used to be.
The Flyers are just too good for them right now.

I think this is a good spot for the Kings, who dropped some games to SJ and Anaheim lately, both teams on the uprise. I don't buy into a team that is 2-7-0 on home ice and I think Coyotes' road record will get back to negative soon enough. Kings are the superior team here and should do the job.
