YTD 38-34-3 -3.99 Units

Well this is my first 5 Unit play of the year and was almost going to make it a 10 Unit play. Won 2 of my last 3 Sens bets and hopefully getting a better handle on them. Over the last 2 and a half years since posting plays here I have made alot of money on the Sens and I plan on doing so as the year goes. This year although has been pretty even or maybe even down a bit on Sens plays.

Lalime and Weekes are the starting goalies tonight. If anything changes on Weekes starting I will post it.
Sens have been nothing like the team they were last year. Started out well in the first 6 or 7 games but over their last 10 games their heads have been up their :moon:
After Monday's loss to Buffalo the Sens players called a 15 min. closed door meeting before the media could speak to them. Their are no rifts in the dressing room as this is a very close knit team. Many of the guys live near each other and in some cases on the same street. They hang out together quite alot. That being said, for the players to hold a closed door meeting things are getting a little tense. This team usually responds when it needs to. Muckler will make a trade next week if the Sens come out flat and perform poorly Thursday night, Sat at Pitt or Sunday as well at NYR.
The players don't want this team to be broken up as the Sens new owner Melnyk spent alot of money to keep this team together because management felt they were close after last years G7 loss. Jacques skated the guys hard on Tuesday with no pucks for an extended practice. All of this has the players attention and I believe the Sens respond with a big win over the Hurricanes. They have always played well against Carolina the past few years with the neucleus of players they have now. Lalime has been in nets on most occasions. I expect a 2-3 goal win in a must win.
If the Sens do come out flat and play poorly, then I will be the first to say that maybe some of the players are not playing for Jacques hoping he gets fired. I really don't see that happening. Again, strongest play of the year but I am not holding a gun to anyones head to play the Sens. You can get the Sens at a nice price now. Sens win 4-1.

Playing:

Ott. -.5(-170)(5 Units)

GLTA!

HORNS :D

I'm with ya on this one:D Seems after a successful season, teams feel they can just show up and win. There is far to much talent on this team to be playing so up and down. That little meeting may do the trick. Of course if you played five units on the school for the blind I'd still bet on it with you;) Good luck

alright horns ....counterpoints..LOL

maybe im watching a different season than most people but imo carolina is playing good hockey and ottawa just looks bad...they clearly are underachieving ....with the talent this team has there is absolutely no excuse for thier record...what thier problems are right now i cant speculate...but im not convinced that a closed door meeting among the team is the answer...

that being said im not disagreeing with you that this team certainly has the potential to go on a tear....i personally cannot see any justification in laying a dime of juice on them at this point of the season...

as for this goalie match-up ..lalime/weekes...my stats show these two going head to head only twice...

a 6-5 ottawa win

and

a 4-4 tie...

pretty tight games...


boys im not bashing horns....(horns i think you know me better than that)...im simply making some counterpoints here...

i just cant at this point in the season see laying any $ on ottawa unless your getting $ in return....

laying off the game ..at least the side....

so ill be cheering you on horns and everyone who has them...

best of luck
