I don't know what you are talking about, they look like the correct games to me.

Thanks and Thanks Treo

YTD: 10-2 (+8.78 units)..........all plays risk 1 unit...CAR/LA OVER 5.5 -115 still pending.

Montreal -1.5 +165


This line is a joke. Guys, the books are giving away money on the PL's and reg line on the favs. YOU ARE GETTING BONUS + PAYBACK!! So please don't lay juice if you are playing a fav, take them -1.5 or in regulation (especially if your using Pinny).

I thought PHX's achillies heel coming into the season would be their defense. Last night against Ottawa was the first time I've seen them play and as a defensive unit it was embarrassing. Ottawa should have had 10 goals. Bryzgalov was hung out to dry all night. The Yotes are on their 3rd road game in 4 days, 2nd in a row and this defense going up against a fast/skilled 4 line Montreal team that has put up 15 goals in their last 3 games and the gamne is in Montreal on a saturday night is such a mismatch it's not even funny. The Habs are going to roll these youngsters up. I don't have a MTL TT yet but I will likely be playing it for sure.

Lots of games tomorrow but not a lot of interest IMO. The OVER in Dallas might be interesting but the fact that's it's a 1:00 start stinks for an OVER. I think I'll play STL too, not sure if in reg, -1 or -1.5 (-1.5 is +225!) but I want to wait for final goalie confirmation. I saw Patrick Kane being interviewed earlier tonight about the Savard firing and he was crying! Sometimes in sports players quit on teams and firings are evident, but in this case I think the younger players were shocked and obviously saddened. I think the Hawks could come out flat as a pancake tomorrow still getting over the shock of why their coach was fired out of nowhere. Need goalie info to play anything else.

Lipps - My apologies for hijacking and clogging up the picks thread with a long drag of a post but I haven't created my own thread this year and thought on a Friday night i'd get my thoughts out. I'll try to keep most of my posts to picks.
