WEDNESDAY's LEANS:

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

as i sit here trying to figure out my new system for hockey...

here are some thoughts:

1) Ottawa played last nite, and they're playing a crappy florida team at home...look for alot of goals here...a 5-3 score or something. Last three games in FLorida played over, and the fourth one was a PUSH.

2) look at calgary +1.5, they seem to be for real early on in the season,they played a tough game last nite, and I hope that calg will continue their defensive style...cause Lord knows they won't blow any teams out.
Detroit seems to start off slow out of the gate at home...we'll see if this trend continues tonite.

3) i would bite and take the minny/bost game under 5.0.
last year, lots of minny's games at home went under...i think they'll want to be competitive at home again this year and watch for a low scoring affair.Minny's had some rest, unlike in the 4-3 win against L.A, so hopefully this'll be a low scoring affair.

I'm not putting any money on these games..just my thoughts tonite.

good luck to all.

one last thing...

i'd be careful of the pitts/islanders game...
isles playing their third game in a row on the road...they may be a bit tired...
Pitsburgh 0-2 at home...could pitts go 0-3...?
look for a nice 2-2 tie in this one...i hope.

I.P.

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

sorry guys, just got in...

as we well know, NY had the new kid in there...
yeah, that was RIPE for an over...

well, that calgary game was a blowout..somewhat...wow.

and the ottawa/ florida game...well, we'll just chalk it up to fatigue for the sens...looks like Florida is gonna be bad again this season...

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

Ice Picks, naw, i'm using a new strategy that's kinda of what I did in baseball...wait until i find a real nice game that i like, and then pound it hard.

I'm not bettin' on too many Leaf games this year...gee, just like last year.

Chenker, looks like when Ottawa plays back to back they will probably imploy a defensive system..watch for that...and yes, i re-iterate, Florida IS bad.
