#2 Posted: 5/18/2012 3:17:53 PM I am a little surprised that the Over is only 5 in the first game. I do like Finland. Bodog is throwing up +1.5 for -155 with Finland so I will most likely be on that. I guess if Finland were to win it would be low scoring but a 3-2 game at worst is not out unlikely.
Not surprised Czechs moved on past Sweden as their goalie didn't seem sharp in the tournament. These two teams somewhat resemble each other so I definitely see value in Slovakia +1.5 and ML.
Any thoughts?

#7 Posted: 5/19/2012 12:44:49 AM I like the Russians here. They've looked very good & the host country of this tourney hasn't won the title since 1986 & only made the final game twice in that time frame. Canada in 2008 took silver in Quebec City & Sweden in 1995 took silver in Stockholm. A lot of pressure on these teams in front of their home crowds.

#8 Posted: 5/19/2012 1:49:32 AM Grabbed the Russians ML -125. Thought it was decent value for the team that seems to be firing on all cylinders. GL everyone.

#10 Posted: 5/19/2012 2:32:33 AM The Fins and Michael Grandlund embarrassed the Russians last year, they got a real coach this year not just and old player. Playing better defensive hockey i think they win this game. But the Finland +1.5 seems like a good bet each team will be highly motivated |

#12 Posted: 5/19/2012 7:59:20 AM LIVE wager placed when Fins led 1-0 in 1st period with 5 minutes remaining. Now we both need Russia -1 goal... I'm feeling good about that.

#13 Posted: 5/19/2012 8:01:15 AM 2-1 Russia now in last minute of 1st period... The line for 1st period was Russia +1600 when they trailed 0-1... I WAS LOOKING AT THAT... but settled on my little +140 in RegTime... |

#16 Posted: 5/19/2012 8:12:13 AM I like Slovakia but will wait and hopefully get them at a better LIVE price for a SU wager... I already have Russia and Slovakia in a 10 pick parlay.
I can't go near totals because they have been killing me no matter what I select... If I have Over it goes Under... If I have Under it goes Over... Ugh.
Crappy LIVE Lines at 1st intermission...
Russia in RegTime -286 Fins in RegTime +500 (is nice & juicy)
Who wins 2nd period... Russia+130 Draw+160 Fins+240
2nd Period O/U = Over-1.5 (-105) - Under-1.5 (-154) |

#17 Posted: 5/19/2012 8:27:43 AM Dude just poked Malkin skates out from under him as he was going full bore to circle behind the goal... I bet he tore his sholder up... That looked bad... Cheap Trick by the dirty Fin player. |

#19 Posted: 5/19/2012 8:35:23 AM I placed a Russia Wins 2nd Period +145 just before Malkin got hurt... After he got hurt it went up to Russia+180 so I bought more... then Russia scored right after that... 
Hold onto that 3-1 lead Boyzkies... 
7:47 to go in 2nd but gotta kill a Fins PP off now...  |

#20 Posted: 5/19/2012 8:37:51 AM Malkin is back on the bench... 
He is still hurting by the look on his face.
They probably gave him a few shots of Stoly and a pain pill... Tough guy for sure because he hit that wall HARD. |

I'm not touching LIVE wager for the 3rd period... I cashed both 2nd period wagers and now will sit back with my 3 goal lead and enjoy winning this ticket also... 
MALKIN has been unreal... I wish he was on the Flyers...   |
