WTF?

so for tomorrows hocky game if say i pick Boston (which right now that very name is not cool with me) Boston would have to score 116 points more than philly???  In that case everyone better take the over!  i know thats silly but what the heck does the line mean in this case???

that dont make sense its not like the line in say basketball...what does the line mean for hockey if u were playing it on Survivor?

Like crushalot said, don't worry about the hockey money lines. Unless you plan on putting any sort of real money on hockey or baseball games, you won't have to really worry about what their lines mean. You can learn about it if you want, but it doesn't have much to do with this survivor game. Basically though, hockey and baseball games are so low scoring that it's kind of pointless to put a spread on their games, so they use the money line method instead.

  Thanks!  I get it now. lol

Hey thank u too!   

Using my newly discovered talent in reading these unusual numbers called lines/spread or whatever the heck u want to call it, I will do my best to assist u.  ok so like u noted Port 99_Mav 104.  ok so what we need to do here is a little substraction...everyone pull out ur calculators.  104 - 3.5 = 100.5.  Wow im sure glad I had my mathematical instrument for that one--my head is hurting.  So then if I were to understand the system correct this would put Dallas at 100.5 and Portland at 99.  So if u picked Dallas u should have the WIN!  I did notice that a scoreboard on this site had Dallas at 102 so maybe there was an error.  NBA has it at 104...so dont worry, be happy...dont get me started. lol  Ok so I think I covered it

...if my teachers above need to correct me please do.
