We went 2-1 for a winning night last night with the NHL Tips. But let’s talk about the biggest thing from last night – THE VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS.
The Knights won their 4th in a row to make it 7-1-0 for them for the season and they did it with Oscar freaking Dansk in net.
The Knights are working very hard and putting on great defensive performances. They are quite clearly the biggest surprise of the NHL season thus far and it’s truly amazing to watch.
It was an interesting one because I was looking into a lot of the advanced stats yesterday and if you took out the two team names, you’d bet on the Knights big time. As it is with Dansk in net we couldn’t back them but man this is one team that it’s going to be hard to ignore.
It’s tricky though because prior to the season you weigh up the strengths of each teams and it can be hard to get away from that initially – and sometimes you don’t want to. Look at the Red Wings who we expected to be really poor. They started off strong but are now showing their true colours.
Then you have the Edmonton Oilers who lost yet again. They had a lot of big expectations this season and are now 2-5-1. The Penguins were dominant over them as well. With some of the talent on their team you think “surely this won’t last” but man – it really looks like it will.
It really was an interesting night of hockey. The Coyotes now go 0-8-1. They fought well against the Islanders but it didn’t matter and the Islanders made it 3 in a row as we hoped they would.
No official tips today. Both games are hard to call.
Blue Jackets vs Sabres: You’d think the Jackets would win this one but the odds are too short on them. They had two demoralizing losses to the Kings and Tampa and with a loss against the Blackhawks too – this team isn’t beating the top tier of NHL teams. That’s concerning. They have to seek solace in games like against Buffalo – where they just go to town on them. In saying that Buffalo have had 3 solid road performances in a row and at the odds, I’d rather be on Buffalo.
Blues vs Flames: This is a very weird one where I want to take the Blues but just can’t quite convince myself. They should be able to do the business here and it was my initial thought looking at the schedule today. However after spending a lot of time looking at it I just can’t quite pull the trigger. I mean Blues are rested, Flames are on a B2B, Lack expected to be in net…probably going to regret not pulling the trigger on that one bit I just can’t go with it.
Columbus and St. Louis to win
Nice
Agree with no bets.
My only lean is for Calgary/St. Louis to go UNDER, but it’s likely to get to 4 goals easily and be risky as a bet. Calgary’s back-to-back and St. Louis is rested. Maybe Calgary poured it on yesterday because they knew they’d likely lose to St. Louis today?
With Lack playing you still like the under wow?
Jackets and Blues what is so hard about that?
Sabres and Flames in reg. with one unit.
I’m going to bet on Blue to win in regulation
Sometimes the odds mean squad these are more situational plays …
Blues 4-0 at home Flames 4-0 on the road but guess what -Eddie Lack- ✔️
Blues -1.5 is the right play ..
I see lots yous in here are odds junkies ?
Blues -1.5
Jackets – 1.5
??
My advanced stats also had Vegas beating Chicago last night and I also couldn’t pull the trigger. Wins on LA, Avs, NYI -1.5, Pitt, losses on Phi, Nash, Det. Tonight a simple CBJ and Stl parlay even though my advanced stats were tight on the CBJ game.
We’ve all been there. You make a pick (probably the winning one) but you can’t pull the trigger. No point in regretting it. Opportunities come up everyday.
Thursday you’ve got TB( 8-1-1) vs Det (4-5-1) TB is 5-0-0 at home. Hopefully the odds are worth it.
Yotes could finally end their losing streak @ NYR 2-6-2. The Rangers are 0-2-0 at home.
Canucks 3 gm winning streak could end against the Caps.
Hurricanes (3-3-1) have to deal with the Leafs (7-2-0) who are 4-1-0 at home. Enjoy the games tonight!
Parlay Blues ML and CBJ PL
CBJ PL – BJ are well rested and will be pumped up by Torts to get a W after dropping last two. Sabres are on b2b and are very banged up. Sabres GA is 3+ goals in 8 of 10 this year.
CBJ first period – see above
First period 1.5+ – see above
Blues in regulation
Both games go over and big salami over
GLTA
SDB
CBj vs Sabres will go under 🙂
Check the score
7/8 tonight. Only missed first period total in Sabres/CBJ
Nice night.
Lion Project 2/15
Blues in reg
to win tonight:
blues and jackets
Grand Salmai UNDER 11.5. Jackets Blues Parlay
I absolutely agree with Graeme about Blues
Jackets win easily tonight
I have a feeling on Flames win!
Flames is really doing good. I like and enjoy how they play even they lose.
Flames win
