The line opened at -160 and is now at -135 on my book ... if this was 2 months ago the line would be up around -180. As many have mentioned, this is a brutal time to bet on hockey because everyone exaggerates the 'motivation' factor and usually pounds lines beyond reach (i.e Carolina and Pittsburgh tonight)
At this price, I'm incredibly tempted to take Washington who is looking to lock up the Metro division ... anyone have any thoughts on the game?

I was thinking the same thing, but then I considered the possibility that the Capitals might not actually care if they get 1st or not. They have to be pretty confident about playing any team in their division right now.
I would have said the Hurricanes are the most dangerous right now but then the Capitals beat them twice in a row a little over a week ago when the Hurricanes were fighting for a playoff spot. Motivation is certain for the Canadiens but uncertain for the Capitals in my opinion.

Interesting take on tonight's game AJ .. personally don't think the Canes stand much of a chance v PIT or WSH ... would be stunned if it's not PIT/WSH rd2 once again in the Metro bracket ..
