Tampa Bay +1.70 over BOSTON (REG) Pinnacle
In a year in which parity has never been higher it only makes sense to take back a tag like this on the Lightning or even against the Bruins. In fact, the Bolts have one less loss this season than the Bruins and even though Boston is currently on a 5-1 run, they could just as easily be on a 1-5 run. You see, five of the Bruins’ last six games have gone to overtime and seven of its past nine games have gone to OT as well. What that tells us is that they’re not putting away anyone and just about every game they’re in is a toss-up. Thus, as stated earlier and with that in mind, taking back +1.70 only makes sense. The Bolts are not an easy team to beat and the league’s elite hasn’t exactly pushed Boston to OT. Both Minnesota and Florida took the B’s to extra time, as did Buffalo, Atlanta and Ottawa among others. Overlay. Play: Tampa Bay +1.70 (Risking 2 units).

Vancouver +1.09 over NEW JERSEY (REG) Pinnacle
It’s really incredible that the Devils own a 17-6 record when you consider how tough every team is to beat these days. On paper, the Devils should not be this good and when you consider the injuries they’ve sustained, especially to key defensemen, it makes that record even more impressive. With that impressive record and a current three-game winning streak, the Devils stock is a little too high right now. Prior to its three game winning streak the Devils had dropped three in a row so it’s not like they’re on fire. They beat the Islanders, Ottawa and Boston but lost to Dallas, Nashville and Philly and these Canucks are definitely not an easy out. Vancouver will embark on a four-game road trip starting here after being at home since November 20. That has to be good for them and it’s also worth noting that Steve Yzerman and the Team Canada selection committee will attend this one, thus, you can expect a high-intensity game, specifically from both goaltenders and when Roberto Luongo is at his best, he is the best. Play: Vancouver +1.09 (Risking 2 units).

Does this cat ever have a bet in an increment different than 2 units? If so what other units he wager?

Thanks for all of your posts.

Nice. Vancouver is a Morrison play too. Looks like it's worth a small bet at least.
