Oh my Lord - be careful what you wish for

Come back Rick Dipietro all is forgiven, I didn't fancy the bet tonight

Second Period Analysis:

Lack of goals certainly not spoiling the enjoyment:-

Even period for me with more great scoring chances for both sides.  Looked at the shot total and looks like sharks dominated but thought in terms of scoring opportunities it was a lot closer than that,  More great keeping and kicking myself for not doing the unders now (even at 8/11).  Cant beleive there will not be goals in the 3rd with bit of tiredness setting in.  Coin toss for me now (which is not great when you have backed a side at sub 1.90)

Devils went behind against the run of play (on powerplay) but deservidely levelled shortly after.  After that Hurricanes came into the game for the first time in the match and the shot look like Carolina are the dominant team.  Not from where I am watching.  Still thinks Devils will win this in the 3rd with the likely evening up of the powerplays (Devils not had one yet).

Good luck all.

Great pressure from sharks, looking a real strong outfit with Niemi on fire.  Neuvith equally brilliant tonigh but not sure caps can hold out.

Devils two shots have rattled the post in the 3rd already.

2-1 Hurricans (another powerplay goal).  Surely Devils will get one PP chance tonight?

Ward a remarkable reflex save with 14s left

Well my 2 current strategies clashed tonight with the game in Washington and as I was uncomfortable playing both i've not backed Sharks tonight but plumped for the Caps unders strategy instead.

On reflection i'm ceasing the Sharks investments now after earning points from each of their last 9 games , was lucky enough to hit the start of the streak after the abysmal showing against Oilers and my hunch the return of Pavelski from injury would resurrect their season proved a wise one , one golden rule i've stuck with for over 4 years now and that's to keep any streak strategy to a maximum of 10 games due to the fact form can't be permanent and 10 games is plenty long enough to expect , Sharks are on a 9 gamer now and I don't see the point of putting myself through the game tomorrow especially after such great back to back displays at Boston and Washington.

The Caps unders strategy is different though and involves a change in playing strategy that won't change rather than anything directly form related , take the earlier point about only 1.80 available tonight but that's only comparing it to recent games and you have to take into account the opposition as well , will be staying aboard this gravy train with varying stakes depending on the opposition after an unbelievably hot streak over the last few months.

Devils get the job done in the end swardean 

Well done with the Packers Harry , you got withdrawal symptoms yet ?

Don't seem to be able to see them for some reason at the moment....

Are Minnesota and Calgary too obvious tonight?
Chicago look a desperate price to win in 60 minutes - no thanks.
Anaheim may just be the value in the late late show.....

Good luck and chat later

anthem singer at the boston game

didnt realise he did it all the time there i thought he was just some randomer they pulled out of the crowd
hard on the ears

crazy game this lol

Could really do with Minnesota trying to keep bodies on the ice rather than in the box.

Don't think you'll be beating yourself up too much about the Sharks tonight HAYDEN?

Saw they had been 2 down - was probably smart leaving even though they won.  I say this a lot, but its better to get it wrong for the right reason than right for the wrong reason.  In the long run you'll then make it pay if you know what you're about

Logging off, but tonight is on course to be a good one.  Shame about Oilers, though they're getting no breaks from the officials.  Teams do tend to get kicked when they're down though.  Minnesota keep winning - but so do the other feckers around them Will end up an almighty dogfight in last few matches with some really dispondant people on the outside looking in.

Goodnight

Some unappealing punting match-ups tonight....

Toronto (again not really confident but 19/10)
Buffalo ML

Friday's matches different gravy though.  I watched highlights from Boston 3 times this evening.  Unreal

*11/10 with b365

Thanks Drew, I will keep an eye out for you results.

Should really call it a night but working from home tomorrow so cant resist staing up and watching the games.  Hope it iwll be worth it.

Pretty dreadful stuff in Toronto - supposed to be the entertainers as well

Sancerre - you lucky devil.  Anything from the Loire is good - especially when working from home

Pouilly Fume tomorrow night sir?  Or will we be trying a Muscadet?  Very refined, good man!

A night for unders all around by the looks.....

I stocked up just before Xmas when Tesco were doing their Barolo for £8 instead of £20 and Sancerre half price at £7.  You can't buy a bottle of Sancerre for that in France!  This week on nights is the one week in 5 when I abstain and let the body rick itself round again.  Asda doing a great St Emillion for £6 atm, but if you're not into red it won't interest you!

Turning into a poor night.  I backed NJ to win first period and over 5.5 in Toronto.  The overs bet was my only serious attempt tonight.  To make matters worse, I've a mug acca on Habs/Sabres/Flyers (all ML), Pens with draw no bet and OVERS in Toronto.  Its looking like the one that will let me down.

C'est la vie.  I saw your post on the racing forum.  I'm very keen on the chances of Rolecarr in the 3.0 at same meeting.  Better be careful talking horses on here though as HAYDEN may rap my knuckles

Goodnight and good luck
