NHL tonight
Of course, it's college football day. But I still play pucks and I like to get opinions on a couple games. I've bet 3 draws so far and I'm 2 for 3. I think you can look at how 2 teams usually perform against each other, despite the off year, and determine how close the game will be.
I already picked Carolina and the over, LA and the over, as well as the under again between the Blue Jackets and the Wild. I'm looking at NJ/Bos and Buf/NYI and am considering a possible tie.
The Devils are coming off a tough game against the Sabres (3-2), after losing in Atlanta and to TB. They are without Brodeur and Elias still. The Bruins are having a tough start, playing for .500. Of those 12 games, 7 ended in a 1-goal difference. 3 went into overtime... but all on the road. They just beat Toronto 2-1 after losing 2 straight. Zhamnov and Isbister are still out while McEachern is questionable. They are 1-2-1 at home vs NJ in their last 4.
Sabres 6 of last 7 have been decided by 1 goal, 1 in OT and 1 in SO. They beat the Isles 6-4 at home, 1st game of the season. Islanders win one and lose the other, most tight games. They are without Parrish. Biron will get the start. If he performs, this should be a good Under with DiPietro at the other end.
Thoughts?
