Busy so this will have to be brief - look at the later games after.

Taking a chance that the game at MSG will go the distance - Carolina very tough opponents for the Rangers imo.

Think there will be goals in Pittsburgh tonight but no bet

Good Luck

3-0

Yep, a shock start in 2mins and Crosby has not even made a point yet. Bolts made a mistake putting Roloson in the net once again after hard working shutout victory last night. They just scored 3-0 and 4-0 already. Even Ellis took already one goal with 1st shot..


I had a feeling Ducks (18-2-3 at home history vs Preds) might be a worth of trying later tonight against Preds.

Like your bet in Anaheim ND.  I don't know the players well enough to know how badly ducks will miss Gezlaf?

Any assistance appreciated lads

Canada 1-0

Drew - In the short run the absence of Getzlaf means hardly nothing. Perry & Ryan have a good young center McMillan who fits that role perfectly. Their pp certainly might be a bit worse but they are playing ok anyway at home nowadays so I really don't mind their 1st line center is out now.

He's not any defensively orientated player either. I prefer worry if someone of these fellows like Koivu/Selanne/Lydman/Hiller is out including already mensioned Perry & Ryan.

However, what comes in the long run is the whole new story. He's always been top-4 in their pp. Ducks have more depth as he's available. In tight games you need to have a very good pp to win games. I guess Ducks have it now (9th best in the league). It will a bit worse without Getzlaf that's for sure but is it lot of worse can't tell. The 2nd unit is also good with pp (Koivu, Selanne, Blake) and Carlyle still can have a chance to make some variation using fe. Lydman(Visnovsky) there as only defender with 4 offensive players including Perry, Koivu, Selanne, Ryan(Blake/Lupul).

They will be trouble with big, bad & skilled teams as one big thread is not there anymore the next 4-6weeks. They still won Philly lately by 5-2. I don't think they would repeat that if they play 3-4 more gms vs them.[;)] Hawks also outplayed them in 3rd period last time but they also succeed to win that one 2-1. The key player was Hiller once again. I also like Lydman's style to play. He's a very sensible making rare mistakes but very often you can see his name with stats. No wonder he's their best player in the +/- stats which tells it all the best.

Now, just have to give fair warning Preds not a bad team either as you surely know. Rinne has been solid lately. So has Weber(D). Don't know though how they handle a fresh absence of their center O'Reilly. Maybe this it not a big deal but it makes me worried at least. Also remembering the stats in the past in these meetings which isn't promise any good for Preds either. So, I suggest to take a few pennies on Ducks tonight!

OT in MSG

Never in doubt

Well done mate , pleasing when you get those ties 

Wow, nice catch that tie Drew..

Incredible game in U20 final. Russians were already down by 0-3 after 2nd but it's not 3-3 in a half way 3rd. Amazing coming from behind again. [:o]

4-3 Russians leading. Wow!

Cheers lads

Hit a purple patch to be honest - had an 11/1 winner at Lingfield this afternoon then cleaned up tonight in Prem footy where I hardly ever bet! 

Going to do some work on the Hurricanes tomorrow as their games always appear tight.  May be able to spot likely ties.  Tonight I got 4.4 the tie 10 minutes before the start and it was 3.95 at face-off so a few people must have been of the same mind.

Anyway, need to find a new system bet as the Leafs appear to be playing the first period awake all of a sudden

5-3. Can't remember when Canadians have lost the game so totally after leading clearly. Everything seems to be possible these days.

This can only happen once in a lifetime. Seen lots of games in the past where underdog team has came from behind but this situation is an unique one I believe. Impossible to see Canadians beaten at their own continent leading by 3 goals after 2nd and then totally collapsed in the final game. Absolutely nonesence. If someone said it to me yesterday I would have called him a doctor..

All the glory for Russians. That country is going insane tonight and tomorrow latest when they woke up they dreams and realise this is all true.

Sad I've missed this final - seems to have been a belter!  Must have been to drag you lads away from the NHL!

Backed Ducks for goo measure

not reviewing that

ducks are a fkin shambles

How much luck can this rinne have!..that now a crossbar and a post!

buy*

shocker for me last night... good job only played small... I think the Pens are massive tonite against a struggling mtl, and philly against the ever struggling NJ devils... Banker Double of the night GL all

Sorry its late tonight - work

St Louis to win 1st period
Montreal ML
Lay Boston in 60

Good Luck
