DJ Vu 176 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 So what did you guys all think about that Brown hit? Was it dirty? I just read that the Phoenix goalie said something like Brown should be suspended forever. Which, you know, is a little different than the nothing the league gave him. When I saw it live, I didn't really think much of it at the time. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Eh, so-so. Clearly there was just frustration on the part of the Coyotes. They felt the refs were terrible all series long, and it culminated by losing on a goal when they felt they should have been on the PP.It probably could have been a 2 min minor, but I doubt it'd be anything more. Typically a penalty in overtime needs to be pretty blatant too.Here's a good read on it: http://blogs.thescore.com/nhl/2012/05/23/breaking-down-the-dustin-brown-hit-on-michal-roszival/ Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 It's a borderline hit, but many of Brown's hits are.The fact the play was offside is irrelevant because I don't think it was late.Keep your ****ing head up if you're gonna cut into the middle. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 bet365 is showing LA as the favourite. NJ +1.15 to win.So I bet $50 on LA before the playoffs started, to win $1050. Would you hedge by betting on NJ? How much?Im considering like $250 on NJ, to at least get a couple of hundred out of this.or do I just let it ride? I like LA's chances, but that doesn't mean anything in these playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Heh, all depends on how important $1k is to you, I guess. I'd prolly hedge at this point in my life. May have let it ride a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If the odds were opposite, I might not bother. But getting better than 2:1, I'd hedge it and cash out some early. I don't think $1K changes your life, but you're looking at an easy cashout now. All the helium is on the KIngs - have they really been THAT impressive, against mostly lesser competition, than the Devils? That's a real question, I've barely watched any playoffs.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Depends on what the money means to you, Arp. Don't forget you only have $50 invested. It would be sweet to turn that into $1,000. Link to post Share on other sites
JamesOwnz 0 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 *Sigh* Stupid Devils...I now might have a bit of a race for the hockey pool.10 point lead with Brown, Carter and Williams.. vs Brodeur, Parise and Clarkson Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I want the Kings to win but I am worried about the Devils..They look really strong and have a lot of solid offensive weapons. You have to give the edge in goaltending to the Devils too, with the experience factor.Having said all this I would love to see LA win the cup. Link to post Share on other sites

Kings 25-7-4(I believe) after the trade. A lot of it is that Carter has made the Kings deeper but we don't see as many bone head plays on defense. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yes, I bet on the team, and it's easy to root for someone when money is on the line. But it's been a long time since I have been so impressed with a team in the playoffs. Just a ridiculously great effort, and so so well played. Good news: I hedged for only 100 btw. Bad news: I already spent the winnings on the weekend in Vegas, so a win was kind of necessary. Link to post Share on other sites
