Is the NHL having a laugh?
15 games yesterday.
1 today.
Seriously?
Sigh.
1-1 yesterday. Penguins got the win, Kane did pass Modano, but the Red Wings just couldn’t continue their momentum into winning the game which was unfortunate.
I was not impressed with the Caps. I was curious if they’d come out with that big game vibe but wasn’t feeling it. I think they’re going to continue to struggle.
Goaltending variance popped up in the Canes/Mammoth and a good example of why its a big factor. Called it with not being able to back Philly due to goaltending.
I got nothing today. Jackets I’d favour but not on the road at those odds.
Back tomorrow for – lol – 14 games.
Columbus and Chicago. I lean Columbus to win. I see that trade talks are heating up again as the Olympic break begins within one week and many players presumed to be traded before that are still not traded. The NHL is a basket case this season. It’s almost not a sport, it’s a blender full of marbles.
