Pretty much a regular
Started going over my plays from the season right now because Im not too pleased with treading water in the early going. Decided I was forcing some plays and playing way more games than I did last year early on. So... going to see how this goes and not add on any games for a bit after the initial post.
Sides 9-9 +0.09 unit
Totals 16-18-1 -1.85 unit
YTD 25-27-1 -1.76 unit
Buffalo / Carolina over 6
Buffalo and all their firepower have come out of the gate this season and really shown their team speed. They are scoring close to 5 goals a game in the early going at 4.7 a game, and doing it efficiently with just around 30 shots on goal a night. Their PP is clicking at 21% overall, 29% at home, and 27% since their second game, 33% in their last 4. Carolina has found some scoring touch too, they have bumped up their season to 3 a night, and have scored at least 4 in their first 3 games of this road trip.
Dallas -0.5 -119
Chicago has looked good this season with the addition of Havlat yes, but they are now going into Dallas for a short 1 game road trip to play one of the better teams in the Western Conference riding Marty Turco. Turco has some real nice #'s vs the Hawks with a 10-0-1 lieftime # vs them and a 1.22 GAA. Throw into that, the Hawks are 5-23-6 last 34, and 2-14-1 in Dallas this is a good price to play a regulation. I expect to see Boucher as reported in the Tribune in net tonight for the Hawks as they play tomorrow in a Divisional game vs St Loo.
Minnesota / Anaheim over 5
In all honesty, I just think this total is too low. Both teams score 3 goals a game, and have alot more offensive punch this season. Both teams PP's are at the same % close to 30% on the season. Thats damn good, early or not. Both teams are allowing over or close to 30 shots a night in the same token. Both teams have great team speed. I understand that they allow under 2 goals, but think with the open ice that should be there tonight it will create some good chances. Also throw in that last season the over would have been 2-0-2 with a total set at 5 and that was when they didnt have the same scoring threats IMO.
Thats it.
