It was a 1-1 night for an 0.2 unit loss last night with the NHL Tips.
We won with the Rangers vs Sabres going Over 5 goals. I was tempted to go with Over 5.5 in that one but I wasn’t sure we could count on that Buffalo offense. Turns out we can as they got a massive 4-3 win over the Rangers. Not only that but man they looked GOOD. Henrik made quite a lot of key saves in that game and it’s amazing what one player can do to a teams confidence.
We lost with the Red Wings vs the Panthers. We had the Wings to win and they lost in OT. That was a really fun game to watch. Although Florida outshot the Panthers I felt Detroit had the more dangerous chances. Luongo stepped up big quite a few times including a ridiculous save in OT just before the goal.
I’d be surprised if you see us tipping the Wings again anytime soon though. They have such a slack defensive play at times that it can be scary to watch. I wasn’t too impressed with the Panthers to be honest. They looked completely lost at times both defensively and offensively.
Overall though it was a fun night of NHL action. Oilers pulled themselves out of the slump with a big win over the Jets. Lightning-Blues had a bloody thriller of a game, and the Islanders pulled off a massive win over Washington. Momentum beat rest in that game as the Islanders hammered them 3-0.
Now we move onto Friday night with a whopping two games. All teams who had a night off prior as the Wild visit Calgary and the Habs go to San Jose.
No tips in the Wild/Flames tonight. With the goaltending that has Under written all over it but I really hate backing Under 5 goals. It’s just a bet that neither of us have ever been comofortable with. It’s probably a good bet however and if you have no issue with betting Under 5 I’d go for it.
Canadiens vs Sharks Betting Tips:
Speaking of bets I hate to make – I hate betting against Carey Price. The guy is just on a whole other level game after game. The Habs offense has been woeful as of late yet they’ve still picked up a few wins. I obviously watch every Habs game and man – even though we’ve got a lot of goals I just sit watching with zero faith we can score.
They’ve got a brutal record in California lately and they’re going up against a Sharks team whose offense seems to be clicking at just the right time. They get a lot of shots on goal and it’s just about converting them.
The Sharks goaltending isn’t a pushover either. Jones has been solid this season and they’ve been tight defensively. Their defense do allow a lot of shots though.
It’s a tight one but I believe the Sharks have what it takes to beat the Habs today. If they can take a goal lead it’ll be hard for Montreal to get back into the game so I expect them to push fast early. The better odds at Sports Interaction make me feel a bit better about this one.
