Well – it wasn’t all bad last night. Thanks to Calgarys 4-0 demolition of Anaheim in the 1st period, I actually got to bed at a decent hour last night rather than having to sweat the late game!
A 1-2 night. I got the Bruins defeating Montreal correct, as they sadly thumped us 4-1. Come back soon Price, come back soon. Unfortunately the Jets blew their 1 goal lead twice against the Canucks before losing in a shootout.
Hopefully some of you went for the 2.15 Over 5.5 price as I mentioned in the Ducks/Flames game. Unfortunately I was on the Ducks in regulation – and man, was that ever just sad to see. But as I said – it was nice at the end of the 1st period being like “Oh well, bed time” and I feel nice and refreshed this morning. Hey – every cloud has a silver lining.
It’s Thursday, March 13th 2014 and we’ve got 7 NHL games on the board tonight.
Blues vs Oilers: Blues -1.5
St Louis always match up very well against the Oilers. In the previous two games in Edmonton, the Blues won 6-0 and 5-2. Now they’re at home against Edmonton.
Despite nothing to play for, the Oilers have surprisingly had a lot of fight in them the last few games.
The Blues have had a lot of close games lately. But I just see them dominating the Oilers here. They match up very well and I see them winning by at least a couple.
Back that at Bovada for Americans and http://www.Bet365.com for everyone else. for 2.00 odds.
Lightning vs Panthers: Over 5.5
4th game these two are playing this season. Every other game has went over. 7-2 Tampa, 4-3 Tampa and 6-1 Tampa.
Odds on Tampa are quite short – and there’s a part of me that could see the Panthers actually winning this game. Pirri has looked solid since joining for Florida, and Tampa have been a bit of a mess lately.
If you’re looking for a value bet for the night, Florida at 2.7 odds is okay. I just don’t think there is enough value there though considering their 3 previous matchups. I do like it to be competitive and lots of goals – so I’m going with Over 5.5 at http://www.5Dimes.eu for Americans(Need to register to see lines) and and http://www.Bet365.com for everyone else. for 1.95 odds.
Kings vs Leafs: Kings in Regulation
Really like the Kings here. Since the Olympics they’ve activated “Beast Mode” and are beating every team put in front of them. Of course they’ve had a relatively easy schedule too with Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and a Prices-less Montreal – but 3 road game wins is still a feat.
Leafs are very up and down at the moment. Despite the 3-1 defeat previously against LA they played really well against them, and were unlucky. But I just have to go with the hot team here. LA look so solid at the moment that you have to bet with them. 1.80 odds for regulation win at Bovada for Americans and http://www.Bet365.com for everyone else..
.
you guys need to get on that avalanche wagon (yes thats my team) !! they have the blackhawks number and they should be able to beat any team now. Ive hit them the last few times and they are still getting good odds against other teams.
you guys cant hit anything…
Looking to add another pick for tonight and wondering what your thoughts
are on the Sharks vs. Jackets game. I kinda like the jackets in this
spot and getting 2.10 odds. Both teams are kinda hot right now, but the
sharks are not the same team on the road. I like the goalie match-up
as well with Stalak vs bobby.
The jackets are to unpredictable to have confidence in them. If your looking for a value bet, hit the panthers over tampa or rangers over wild
That’s so true, I usually only play the totals with CBJ and even that burns me. Tough to lay money on florida though too. Thanks for the reply. Will have to give it more thought.
Hopefully you went with the total on that one last night.
Didn’t touch anything on either jackets or rangers game. Kept my greed at bay and stuck with 2 games and both won.
Took the Blues in regulation with my $10 free bet on GTbets…pretty happy to get started there, thanks for the promo code there.
