Didn't like the match ups on wednesday so took the day off and there's a few catching my interest for thursday
Tbay - 153 to win 1 unit over Washington
Tortorella wasn't pleased with his teams effort against Dallas and coupling that with a loss to Boston and they didn't have a great home stand. This bolts team is a far better road team and they get a caps team that is struggling everywhere and lost some of its better talent not named Ovechkin at the deadline. Caps are also still riding back up Johhson as Kolzig is injured.The bolts have taken 4 of 5 off the caps this season including both in washington. With the way the bolts are talking and the way the coach reacted to their stars loss I don't think the bolts are going to be lacking for effort in this one. If they have the effort they should roll over this undermanned underskilled caps line up. Bolts game to lose.
Canucks -227 to win 2 units over Phoenix
A disgusting effort against the blues has the coach unhappy, has Luongo unhappy and the fans are unhappy. Not to mention division rivals minny and calgary each got a point tonight with calgary taking the extra point and catching the canucks for first in the division. This match up is the game in hand the canucks have and they catch a bad phoenix team thats missing jovo and playing its 3rd game in 4 nights all on the road. The canucks have shown all season that after a poor outing that they can come out with a serious effort and I expect nothing less in this game. In terms of must win games this one is right up there, they've given away far too many points to inferior teams lately, a trend they need to stop. The players are well aware of it. The canucks have been sloppy over the past few games largely in part to lazy penalties and not working hard enough to draw any themselves. This match up suits them nicely as phoenix is struggling badly on the pp since the all star break clicking at 11% and that was buoyed by a 2 pp performance over a very flat disheartened oil team deadline day. Canucks can afford to take the odd extra penalty here as their league best kill against the league worst pp unit is a favorable match up. The nucks pp hasn't been hot lately but the dogs pk is also on the weaker end in the league so it should help the home team out. Lotsa chalk here but like a few nights ago in Calgary this one warrants it.
Isles look very enticing, Smyth is gonna be on a mission. I hope the isles faithful give captain canada a standing O. May still pull the trigger here.
