Hi all. Lockout is finally over, lets play some hockey! All picks moneyline and mostly dogs as usual.
Pittsburgh +135 2 units
New Jersey lost Niedermayer to Anheim and Patrik Elias is injured. Pittsburgh has a deadly powerplay unit and expect them to benefit from the new rules.
NY Rangers +265 1 unit
Everyone is on the Flyers' bandwagon and I too think they are the favorite to win the cup. But it's the opening day and anything can happen. Maybe should wait if the line gets even higher.
Minnesota +130 1 unit
Minnesota against last year runners-ups, Calgary. Calgary is better overall, but Minny +130 @home is just too tempting. Star winger Gaborik is out but Minnesota is a good, solid team.
Edmonton -132 2 units
Colorado lost some key players including maybe the best player in the NHL -Peter Forsberg. Edmonton got stronger by adding Peca and Pronger. Hejduk is injured.
Vancouver -190 2 units
Vancouver is by far the better team and Nagy is out for the Coyotes. Not really excited about these big favorites, but gotta take this.
Toronto +128 1 unit
Sure, Senators are better but gotta take home dog at +128 when these two teams play. Toronto ain't that bad. Especially if Lindros and Allison can take some heat off from Sundin.
That's all for now, might add some plays tomorrow. GL all!
