Wow. The NHL has gotten off to a great start.
The Leafs are 2-0 after beating the Rangers 8-5 last night. The Blackhawks are flying. They beat the Blue Jackets 5-1 last night after beating the Penguins 10-1 in their first game.
Ovechkin is on fire. He’s a player that needs to score to get his game going and has he ever gotten his game going. He scored a hat trick in the Caps first game and followed that up with a 4 goal game last night.
And how about the Vegas Knights at 2-0!!. Just unreal. Graeme seems to want to jump ship from being a Habs fan and start being a full on Knights fan. As a Hawks fan there were plenty of years where it was tough to cheer for them but there was no way I was stopping and that worked out amazingly for me.
But overall with the way this season has started we are in for a great year with lots of goals.
We went 1-1 with the tips last night. We had over 6 in the Rangers vs Leafs game and this one hit 13 with the Leafs 8-5 win. We had won this tip after the 1st period where the Leafs were winning 5-2. We had the Oilers to beat the Canucks in regulation but it was Vancouver winning 3-2.
Only the one game today the Canadiens vs the Rangers. It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada so I think that has something to do with it.
Canadiens vs Rangers Betting Tips:
The Habs beat Sabres 3-2 in a shootout in their first game and followed that up by getting their ass kicked 6-1 by Ovechkin and the Caps last night.
The Rangers are 0-2 to start the year. They lost to the Avalanche in their first game and got beat 8-5 last night by the Leafs.
This is a tough game to call. These are two good teams and with so little to go by so far it’s hard to read them.
I’m going to avoid a tip for this game. Both teams are coming off of getting beat badly and its tough to predict how they will respond.
