NHL Sunday Picks

[tonic]

Devils ML +100 (WIN)
Brodeur has been sharp, and I expect Koivu to miss another game with the flu. Don't expect Habs powerplay to be as potent against the Devils as they were vs Ott. Huet should get the start and he has been a little suspect as of late. Devils get another win on the road.

Phoenix ML +100 (WIN)
Coju has been playing well, and the coyotes have been hot as of late. I'll take the coyotes with havlat still sidelined.
(Telmqvistt got the start and was solid)


Penguins ML -135 (LOSS)
If they can beat the sabers and carolina, should be able to edge out the win at home vs tampa. Fleury has been playing strong, sid, malkin, and staal will be too much to handle. Should be a close game with penguins scoring a late goal to win.
(Close game lost it in the shootout)

Van ML (WIN at -200)
Both goalies vs their former teams. Loungo might even get a shutout tonight with the way canucks have been playing.:yeah: :yeah: :yeah:
(luongo wasn't all that sharp and belfour in net was a surpeise, was a hell of a shootout, and OT period)

NHL YTD 3-1 will be back tomorrow

Post game though after viewing the games

Hans Vs Devils
Montreal has been playing horrible hockey as of late. I'm going to fade them until they win. Have the players are sick with the glu and even with Koivu back in the lineup, bonk was out along with someone else. I forgot the name. THey looked worse today then vs the Rangers. Until the buys are healthy again, see the loosing streak continuing. Brodeur has been on fire.

Phoenix Vs Hawks
Game wasn't televised so had to listen on the radio. Tellqvist mad some big saves, and right now Wayne has the team focused and ready every night.

Pens Vs Lighting
Was a real close game with Fleury making some huge plays to keep the pens alive. Tied it up late, but that should have been the winner. Sid had his best goal of the season. They just can't beat the lightning. Holmberg was in net for Tampa and played a phenomenal game. He is undefeated in shootouts.

Van Vs Panthers
Eddie got the start, and played well. Loungo also played well, but let in a soft goal that was critical. Game came down to the shootout. The winning streak might come to an end son for the canucks with a weak performace against an injury riddled panthers game. Prob was a smart play to use Eddie instead of Auld, it probably would have been a blowout, as belfour came up with some huge saves.
