After a great night I am back in the positive again and just need my NFL and MLB playoffs numbers to catch up to get really rolling. NHL and NCAA football is carrying the bulk of the load, but anything will work as long as the bottom line is positive. I have changed my records to remove the push since it does no affect the bottom line and add percentages to show overall winning percentage.
Record
NFL: 2-6, (25%) -4.60
NHL: 8-3, (73%) +5.35
NCAA: 7-2, (78%) +4.80
MLB: 3-5, (38%) -3.07
Total: 20-16, (56%) +2.48 NHL Tonight
Tonight on the ice there are only four games but that does not mean there is no value for tonight.
Colorado / Chicago Over 5.5 -105
This game has some potential to go over for the game even though the Black hawks have been one of the worst offensive teams to start the season. Avalanche coach Joel Quenneville said today that veteran Jose Theodore will start in goal for the Avalanche Friday night at Chicago. The goalie situation in Colorado has been unsettling so far this year and its unsure who the #1 guy is because they give up goals. Paul Stastny has been a force in the early season and the goals will be a plenty. I look for Chicago to win this game but the total is the play tonight.

When COLORADO team Played as Road team as a Favorite - Last 4 years - Coming off a 2 game Home stand the over is 9-2
Pittsburgh -130
The Pens need to come out and win this game right away because they start a tough schedule after taking plenty of time off. "We've got these three games in four nights, and next week we've got three games again," coach Michel Therrien said. "The toughest thing for us [when the schedule is lighter] is to keep our focus. In practice, our guys have been working hard, but it's nothing compared to playing in a game.
