Here is what I have for HOCKEY TONIGHT:
I think the opportunity in Hockey is there. THe red wings are going to meet the Pens in the finals. I just have to keep reminding myself of that. THis was a very very big opportunity to make money on wins in game 2, 3 , 4. There is still game 4 left though. As i posted above if need be I will be back at the window sending multiple thousands to win money on this Detroit series. Although I doubt it we will need to.
Dallas has 1 big line and it is hurt badly, Lehtinen is out, Morrow is hurt, and The stars have not recovered from blowing the lead in teh San Jose game in GAME 5. They used everything possible to win that one. The WIngs are in their heads for sure and own them on all angles.

THis is how I played this game so far. It would be nice to bomb it for way more, but I have to consider that betting limits may be reached if need be for a game 5.
I will make about a nickel on this Detroit game-- The correct way to do it in the future is to make roughly a nickel on the game 3 win. THen double that up and try to make a Grand on the game 4 win.
I will put my PItts winnings yesterday and most likely lay it on the line for game 4.
WHen teams are injured simply put or cannot score or are facing a better team what will happen???
Will the underdog team come out of nowhere to win? Will the favored team up 3-0 sit back and say lets win it at home? A veteran team will not do that, and a team that expects to win or sweep and it is not surprised to be up 3-0 will not do that.
Detroit has not lost with OSGOODE. They have a shutdown D, which makes me feel great, because Dallas does not score much, I would give the Max 2 goals tonighit, but think they get only 1 tonight.
The only problem would be if we did not score more than 2, or just 1.
Dallas is facing history and inevitability. THey are going to lose, frankly they got worn out by san jose and Anaheim. Detroit played Colorado and Nashville who were not physical. Dallas beat 2 very good team, basically started out hot beating Anaheim, and struggled to barely beat San JOSE.
Detroit is a machine now- Coaching wise to player wise. THey have the MOMENTUM, the edge, I dont see any edge that Dallas has other than the PRIDE factor. Pride factor works though in Basketball where the crowd can get them going and NBA players seem to like winning on home court. Pride is all bullshit, it will not propel them to beat these WINGS. They are too good, and in a game where I think Wings want it more, they will do what they do and that is win games, 9 in a row, hot team, it is the play, dont overcomplicate it.
