Fading your Oliers in Minny, eh?
Any reasoning....seems like you are making it a big play...

Is it because the Wild are so good at home, and Edm is a bad road team?

I might tail...

[Angelus]

Both.

Plus, the Oilers are playing horrible lately. Jussi may start (although I don't think it matters). The Oil struggle badly in Minnesota and against the Wild in general. Wild are 7-2 in last 9 meetings.

Cool....might be on them....

nader...any angle on the Canucks tonight?
I was thinking about taking them....playing well facing the struggling habs on a back2back...

[Angelus]

Looks like Rolie will start...but I really don't think it matters. I'll be shocked if the Oil win tonight.

I like the Nucks tonight too.

Hey, JML. As for the canucks, this is a very intersting game. You have a habs team that played last night and their struggling right now, they are not playing well at all right now. The canucks seem for whatever reason score more goals on the road than at home, especially lately. In the last couple of year the canucks have fared well against them the last 3 times. Winning 6-2, 5-2 and 5-4.

These two teams are great at penalty killing, both teams have really good goaltending and defensively all year long both tems have been very good. But lately defensively Montreal have not been good at all. I really like the match up of defenceman and goaltending against Montreals. As for the offence, Montreal has the upper hand here, but I like the way Naslund is been lately, he seems to have the extra step in his play and the sedins are playing awesome. Secondary scoring seems to be coming around with LInden, Pyatt, Kesler, Morrison scoring some important goals.

So I am liking the canucks because they are playing better than them right now. They seem to have more things going for them than the habs.

**** Important note, Loungo and Burrows are both from Montreal, there is a great incentive to play well in montreal. especialy Luongo, he seems to play excellent under the spot light.

"Luongo is questionable for tonights game after taking a puck in the throat during practice."

And sometimes there are things you just can't cap:

- Rolie having his best game since the playoffs.
- Lupul scoring a fluke goal.
- Minnesota having 4 injuries in the 1st period including two to defenceman and playing almost the entire game with only 4 d-men.
