Explain why you would be in a hurry to lay -160 on a team that's lost 5 in a row

Why ???? and what makes you think it won't go to OT

in a nutsheel..... I have faith in them tonight

Because they're playing STL or because the line isn't -220 ????

and why are wondering???

Hi! ()

 ... +147 and Climbing need more people on Calgary tonight

1-  that line isnt 220 so I'm happy...

2- Stl choked hard last game out...kinda hard to forget that

3-just becasue the Blues have opne of the top 5 road records doesnt scare me at all

4-Calgary brings the JAM tonight

5-You cant expect the Fklames to a have a less than spirited effort tonight.

6-Flames have a lot more than pride on the line tonight

Because 70% of covers is betting on the Flames and want to know what makes them so sure that it's a winner.

"Calgary brings the JAM tonight"

 Like they did against Chicago and SJ ?

You cant expect the Fklames to a have a less than spirited effort tonight.

Like they did in thier last 6 games?

Flames have a lot more than pride on the line tonight

More so than against 2 Stanley Cup contenders?

Johnny, you make me

GL

Yes and the under

They ARE going to OT

Was thinking about betting the under 5 for money,but now i'm more confused with the love for CAL and want to know what i'm missing.

I'm on STL (Reg) LOCKED IN

FWIW, last time on Dec 11/09 , STL allowed EDM to score 4 unanswered goals in the 3rd Period to erase a 3-lead then beat Calgary 4-3 at home 4 days later. I know this games in Calgary but they've played the Flames real tough so far this season

GL whichever way you go

Not in hurry in fact trying not to take them, but that is very hard to do considering the circumstances...

1. St Lou melt down against Anaheim !

2. Kipper and the defensive preformance against a good Offensive Chicago team was impressive !

3. Have been resting and preparing for this game since the 21st.

So far no play but I am itching to take them, I think they will win a low scoring game tonight. May parlay ( with the under ) or take puckline to reduce the juice ! Still undecided. I can not fault anyone for thinking Calgary is the play. I beleive the losing streak ends tonight with all due respect King Scorpio !

The sports bettor has a BURNING DESIRE to decide when streaks will end and usually they're wrong.

Just my 2 cents

Hi!
