Friday, March 7 All wagers are for 2 units New Jersey +100 over DETROIT Regulation only. The Red Wings were full of energy last night in their 3-2 OT loss to the Avalanche but they still lost despite outshooting the Avs, 37-25. Now the Red Wings will play their third game in four days and tail end of back-to-backs after playing three straight on the road after the break. It was a long night for Detroit, as they watched and cheered for an hour prior to the game during Nicklas Lidstrom’s jersey retirement ceremony. Detroit needs this one badly but they figure to have less energy tonight th

HOME TEAM IN CAPS All plays are for 2 units COLORADO -½ +106 over Phoenix Regulation only. The Coyotes do not have the same swag as they’ve had in previous seasons. Hockey doesn’t even belong in Arizona – it never has, and it never will. Sure the ownership question is settled (for five years), and that might help the club out but so far it has hurt them. You see, it kind of undermines the whole underdog mentality that this club has thrived off of over the past few seasons, doesn’t it? Coach Tippett isn’t finding it as easy to preach the whole “us against the world” thing this season when

Thursday, Feb 27 Detroit +132 over OTTAWA Regulation only. No question that there were some teams that looked a little flat in the first couple of days back since the break. The Canadiens looked completely out of sorts last night while the Bruins were sloppy versus the Sabres. On Tuesday, Buffalo looked like they were killing a power-play for 60 minutes, despite defeating the Hurricanes. In that regard, we definitely like the fact that the Red Wings have a game under their belt after the break while the Senators do not. Last night against Montreal, Detroit was dominating for 2½ periods, espe

ISLANDERS -½ +155 over Colorado Regulation only. Win or lose here, the Colorado Avalanche are in fine shape heading into the break. The Avs’ 36-16-5 record is not only well-deserved but it’s among the best in the league. However, Colorado has one extremely serious flaw that comes into play here and that’s backup goaltender J.S. Giguer

Thank you Pez and thanks for taking the time to post. Best of luck.

Chicago has won the last five meetings played in Phoenix and they’ve also defeated the Coyotes both times they’ve met this season while scoring 10 goals in the two games. Under normal circumstances we wouldn’t go anywhere near this game but in terms of situational betting, the Coyotes have plenty of appeal taking back

No worries iBeav. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I got that same response when I picked the Kings to win the Cup as an 8-seed in the West in 2012 and when I picked the Florida Marlins to win the World Series at 150-1 back in 2003. Documented.

Despite the Islanders losing five of six games, we mentioned that we like what we've seen from them recently and that still holds true. However, the Isles have much more appeal as a pup than they do as a big favorite. It’s safe to say that the Islanders, with their 12-16 home record and inability to win consiste

Wed, FEB 5 Dallas +183 over SAN JOSE Regulation only. We’re always on the lookout for value and that makes the Stars an instant play. We’ve been touting Dallas the entire year and it’s just starting to pay dividends now. Dallas has picked up 11 points out of a possible 14 over its past seven games. Over that span they have a 3-0 win over Pittsburgh, a 2-0 win in Anaheim, a 4-0 win over Minnesota, a 7-1 victory over the Maple Leafs and a 3-1 win in Phoenix last night. Over their last five victories, the Stars have outscored the opposition by an incredible count of 19-2. At 2-1, Dallas is c

FEB 4/2014 ALL plays are 2 units HOME TEAM IN CAPS N.Y. Islanders +128 over WASHINGTON Regulation only. The correlation between losing and allowing too many shots on net has been present in the NHL for decades. This statistic takes a look at the 'average shots for' versus the 'average shots against' for a particular team. The theory is a team with a positive differential gets more shots on net, allows fewer shots against (because they are in the opposition’s end for extended stretches), and hence has proportionately more scoring chances than their opponent. In the last 40 years,

Thanks very much Serge. BTW, it's 11 years of history. www.sportswagers,ca

FEB 3/2014 ALL plays are 2 units HOME TEAM IN CAPS NEW JERSEY -½ +151 over Colorado Regulation only. We could take the Devils in a pick-em spot but their poor record in OT and shootouts make them much more appealing in regulation time only. In that regard, we much prefer the Devils taking back 3/2 odds as oppose to sweating out another shootout. If you’re on board for this game, we’re suggesting betting it sooner rather than later because it appears as though J.S. Giguere will get the start for Colorado. Once that is confirmed this price will decrease so bet it now. Giguere is 7-4 wi

Mr: Danny, well, my theory is that with OT and shootouts being a 50/50 proposition, over time you are going to win money when taking back a price each time. That's the only reason I include OT in any of my plays.
