Well not an ideal return for me post-Olympics, going 0-2.
Really thought Knights would tie that one up at the end there – it was a weird game with very low energy in the first period, then the Caps got going, then the Knights finally got into the game.
Very disappointing one from the Wild as well. That injury for Eriksson Ek is going to hurt them, although wasn’t really a factor in this game.
Ducks showed that they were going to continue to deliver that erratic sort of game.
I am traveling in a couple of hours here and still have to pack. So I’m not going to go through all the tips today. Especially after yesterday – it’s almost like going on fresh data. Could just be a knee-nerk reaction – the Knights one was more down to variance – but definitely has me gun-shy.
Couple of quick thoughts:
– Don’t hate the Bruins, although their road record is concerning.
– By the data, Sens are a play. But my gut says that the Leafs are up for this one so a bit conflicted.
– Fuck the Islanders.
– I quite like the Flames as an underdog play.
– Stars in Regulation I like.
Anyway that’s just at a glance – not anything thorough or anything. Just wanted to post something! Probably nothing tomorrow so I’ll be back in two weeks and Scott has you until then.
Anytime goal scorer props.

In the late regular season, which everything post-Olympics is now, I avoid betting on which team might win, because better teams jockey for position but weak team players play to extend their careers, and that panic and adrenaline can overpower “team” and “coaching” and any kind of normal expectations, to produce wild upsets. It happens every year. So only looking for Over/Under, props, or other angles on the game. Team Totals can be good and steady, but as usual, check for the streaks!
Let’s go Islanders! 🦞
no way
