just on goalie matchup thinking of chancing Hurricanes +130 @ Hosersharks

Curtis McElhinney lost his last @ Anaheim 1-2 (OT) but won his four previous to that. he has allowed 2 GA's or less his last five starts

Martin Jones won his last 3-1 @ Montreal but lost his 4 previous to that. he allowed at least 3 GA's in the 5 previous to Montreal and 4 or more in four

Hurricanes beat the Sharks 4-3 (SO) early season in Raleigh

Hurricanes last last two @ LA and vs Anaheim and three of last four. won three in a row before that

Blues note: per https://lkorac10.blogspot.com/2018/12/12-5-18-oilers-blues-gameday-lineup.html missing key players. D-man Alex Pietrangelo (hand), center Robby Fabbri (shoulder) and wing Alex Steen (concussion) to go with wing Jaden Schwartz (hand) and D-man Carl Gunnarsson (upper body). Oilers scribe Jack MIchaels shows center Conner McDavid and center Ryan Spooner back in their lineup after missing the last game @ Dallas (illness)

AND I do NOT understand the Oilers starting Cam Talbot in goal instead of Mikko Koskinen. Talbot has lost his last six starts and allowed 4 GA's or more in each

 

[LeRinkRat]

Cheese LOU-ese!!! does Talbot stink or WHAT ??? 2-0 Blues with 6 minutes to GO in the 1st. 2 goals on 10 SOG's vs just 4 SOG's for OIlers. In Game Oilers +420

 

[LeRinkRat]

well 2-0 Blues end of 1st with SOG's 15-5 Blues. Oilers do get 1:06 of carryover PP to the start the 2nd, In Game still Oilers +420 which will go up IF they do not score on PP

 

[LeRinkRat]

Blue KILL. NO shots Oilers AND In Game goes to +450

 

[LeRinkRat]

FINALLY Ryan Nugent-Hopkins gets the Oilers on the board NOW 2-1 Blues. In Game Oilers to +240

 

[LeRinkRat]

OK goaltender interference Blues = Oilers PP 7 minutes into 2nd and TV timeout. Oilers In Game +225

 

[LeRinkRat]

Blues KILL

 

[LeRinkRat]

AND 2-1 Blues end of 2nd. completely different period from the 1st with SOG's 17-7 Oilers. except for a few chances near the end by the Blues the Oilers controlled the play. In Game Oilers +340 and total 5 1/2 over +200 under -250

 

[LeRinkRat]

PP Oilers 8 minutes into the 3rd still 2-1 Blues In Game still Oilers +340

 

[LeRinkRat]

Blues KILL In Game to +450

 

[LeRinkRat]

Hokey Smoke!!! Oscar Klefbom GOAL with 55 seconds to GO in regulation TIES 2-2. going to 3 on 3 OT gotta like the Oilers chances. 3rd period SOG's 11-5 Oilers

 

[LeRinkRat]

4 on 3 PP Oilers with 3:26 to GO in OT

 

[LeRinkRat]

Blues KILL 2 shots Oilers

 

[LeRinkRat]

going to the god damn "Gary Gimmick" in St Louis

 

[LeRinkRat]

AND Oilers WIN the shoot 2-1 with goals from Nugent-Hopkins and McDavid. Bozac scored for Blues. 3-2 Oilers game final

the Sharks open the scoring in San Hoser Barclay Goodrow 3:44 into the 1st 1-0. In Game Hurricanes +240

 

[LeRinkRat]

AND 2-0 Sharks half way thru the 1st period. SOG's about even so far 7-6 Hurricanes. In Game Hurricanes +450. Ducks also UP 2-0 on Blackhawks with Chicago In Game +400. another night of Pacific Division WINS does NOT help my VGK

 

[LeRinkRat]

Ho BOY!!!. 3-0 Sharks with 7 minutes to GO in the 2nd. Curtis McElhinney back to being "Mac the Swiss Cheese" tonight. OOPS!!! make that 4-0 Sharks

BUT Blackhawks get a goal to cut the lead to 2-1 Ducks 8 20 to GO in the 2nd @ Ahaheim
