06-03-21 | Hurricanes +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hurricanes (10* PUCK-LINE ELITE OF THE ELITE). I'm laying the price here for the extra 1.5 goals. I think this game will be the most competitive of them all. Tampa is "lucky" I think to have won both opening games. Carolina though is resilient and I expect it to throw its best shot at the defending champs. These team's numbers are almost identical on both ends of the ice, but Carolina is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge back-to-back losses to an opponent. Lay the price, the play is the Canes on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Carolina. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Panthers +1.5 v. Lightning | 0-4 | Loss | -180 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Panthers (+1.5) 6* TRADE-MARK. Florida earned a Game 5 victory and it'll be risking life and limb again here to try and push this one to a decisive Game 7. These teams have almost identical numbers on both ends of the ice. This really is almost an "any given Sunday" type of matchup, where either team can easily win against the other on any given night. But Florida is 7-2 in its last nine after a three goals or greater victory over its previous opponent. I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Florida. | |||||||
05-25-21 | Predators +1.5 v. Hurricanes | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Predators PUCK LINE (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Carolina won the first two games of this series, but after back-to-back OT home victories, the Predators now have all the momentum as we head back to Carolina for this one. These teams are evenly matched, and I think this series is going to go a full seven games. So far home ice advantage has proved important, but this one has "overtime" written all over it again. Nashville is getting great offense now and that trend continues here on the road. Outright victory is possible of course, but let's lay it and grab the spread! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Nashville. | |||||||
05-20-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 34 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canadiens PUCK LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). Montreal got out to a great start this year, then it got hit by COVID. It was a constant struggle after that, but the Canadiens did enough to earn a spot in the playoffs and they actually enter healthier right now than they've been in a while. The Canadiens have strong goaltending and defense. The Leafs won the North conference regular season title, and they're one of the best on both ends of the ice. Montreal though is 7-2 in its last nine when playing with two or more days of rest. Edmonton got surprised last night, and everything points to the Leafs coming out flat here as well. Great value on the Canadiens puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Montreal. | |||||||
05-06-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Oilers | Top | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 26 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks PUCK LINE (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). I like the Canucks to at the very least, take this one to extra time and because of that, I'm going to suggest to lay the very reasonable price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The Canucks are desperate to break a six-game slide. They've lost two straight here, but note that the Canucks are 7-2 in their last nine in trying to revenge a three goals or greater road loss vs. an opponent. I think Edmonton gets caught flat-footed here! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
05-06-21 | Rangers v. Bruins -1.5 | 0-4 | Win | 128 | 24 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bruins PUCK-LINE (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Boston's four-game win streak came to an end last time out in a 4-3 OT loss at New Jersey, but I think it'll lay the hammer down here vs. the now floundering Rangers and with just a handful of games to go. Boston also plays with revenge here after falling 4-0 to New York on March 13th (note that the Bruins are 7-1 in their last eight in trying to revenge a road loss vs. an opponent in which they were shut-out in. The Rangers have lost three straight, including a 4-2 setback at home to Washington just last night. Fatigue is a major factor for the Blue Shirts for sure. I'm banking on a decisive, lop-sided home-side victory here! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Boston. | |||||||
04-27-21 | Lightning -1.5 v. Blackhawks | Top | 7-4 | Win | 135 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning puck line (10* MONEY-MAKER). This is the final matchup between these two teams, and Tampa has a 6-1 lead in the season series thus far. The Lightning have allowed just 125 goals all season, which ranks eighth. Chicago's offense is hit or miss, and I just can't see it keeping pace here with this now focussed Lightning team, which looks to build momentum with the Playoffs just around the corner. Chicago is also just 14-34 in its last 38 vs. a team with a winning percentage over .600, while Tampa is 55-17 in its last 72 when playing on one days rest. Lay the 1.5 goals for the great plus-money return! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Tampa. | |||||||
04-24-21 | Avalanche v. Blues +1.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: BLUES PUCK LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). After three straight losses, including a 4-2 setback here to these very Avs two nights ago, I think St. Louis is worth the price to grab the extra 1.5 goals. St. Louis is actually 7-2 in its last nine home games after three straight losses in a row. It's also 8-3 in its last 11 in trying to avenge a two goals or greater home loss vs. an opponent. After five straight wins, I expect Colorado to come out flat here; the play is the Blues on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 St. Louis. | |||||||
04-18-21 | Golden Knights -1.5 v. Ducks | Top | 5-2 | Win | 108 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas -1.5 (10* PUCK-LINE DESTROYER). Vegas is streaking towards the finish line, and Anaheim has throw in the white towel. The Knights have won five in a row, including a 4-0 win here two nights ago. No need to think anything will change here. This is a huge mismatch on paper, and on the ice and I simply don't see Vegas taking the foot off the gas or losing its focus (especially with a game tomorrow night in San Jose.) Lay the 1.5 goals, expect a lop-sided destruction! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Vegas. | |||||||
04-09-21 | Avalanche -1.5 v. Ducks | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 13 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Avs PUCK LINE (10* ELITE OF ELITE). On some games, I like to break down every single angle possible. In other contests, I think keeping it simple is the best approach. And that's the case here. Instead of laying the massive -300 chalk on the Avs, I'm going to lay the 1.5 goals for the much more reasonable price. I expect Colorado to bounce back big here after its 8-3 loss at Minnesota last time out. Previous to that the Avs had won five straight. Colorado only allows 2.41 GPG this year, while the Ducks only average 2.28. Lay the 1.5 goals, expect a big time blowout! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Colorado. | |||||||
03-28-21 | Devils v. Bruins -1.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bruins PUCK LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). Boston has now won three of its last four after holding on for a 3-2 OT win over Buffalo yesterday afternoon. I like the Bruins to keep the foot on the gas here and to deliver a big victory at home over the lowly Devils. New Jersey still has an outside shot at the playoffs, but inconsistencies, especially in net, have those odds growing longer by the day (four different goaltenders this year for NJ.) Boston is finally starting to resemble last year's team and I look for it to build off yesterday's win. Lay the 1.5 goals for good plus-money return! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Boston. | |||||||
03-24-21 | Flames -1.5 v. Senators | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Flames PUCKLINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). I like the 15-15-3 Flames to avenge their 3-2 loss here two nights ago. The Senators still have the worst defense in the league. They're also a terrible 1-6 in their last seven after holding their previous opponent to two or less goals. Calgary comes in focussed today and delivers in this revenge spot, not only winning here, but winning big; lay the 1.5 goals for the big plus-money return! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Flames. | |||||||
03-16-21 | Coyotes +1.5 v. Wild | 0-3 | Loss | -140 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coyotes PUCK LINE (6*). I like Arizona to at the very least, keep this one close enough to comfortably cover with the extra 1.5 goals. The Coyotes lost here 4-1 just two nights ago, and note that they're 7-2 in their last nine in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which they scored one or less goals in. Minnesota has won four in a row, but with a tough two game set in Colorado up next, this absolutely sets up as a look ahead spot. I think this one will be decided late or in extra time, so I'm going to lay the price and get the extra goal-and-a-half! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Arizona. | |||||||
03-16-21 | Sabres +1.5 v. Devils | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Sabres PUCK LINE (6*). Both teams are terrible. Buffalo has lost ten in a row, including a 6-0 setback last night at home to Washington. New Jersey has lost nine of its last ten, its lone win was a 1-0 victory over a poor Boston team. Buffalo plays with revenge here as well after losing 4-3 in the most recent matchup with NJ. This one is going to come down to the wire, which is why I'm going to lay the price and get the extra 1.5 goals! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Buffalo. | |||||||
03-02-21 | Senators v. Canadiens -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Habs PUCK LINE (8* MONEY-MAKER). Ottawa's been playing a lot better of late, but after its 5-1 win at home over Calgary just last night, I look for a predictable letdown here in the second game of the back-to-back. Despite looking better of late, the Sens still rank dead last in terms of goals allowed per game. The Habs are going through some coaching changes, but note that they're 8-2 in their last ten after five or more straight losses in a row. Expect a blowout win and lay the 1.5 goals! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Montreal. | |||||||
03-01-21 | Avalanche -1.5 v. Sharks | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Avs PUCK LINE (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Avs had been scuffling before a 6-2 win over Arizona last time out. Suffice it to say, I expect Colorado to keep the pressure on here as it looks to take advantage of floundering San Jose, which has lost two in a row. Over those two losses the Sharks have conceded 13 goals (overall they're conceding 3.89 GPG.) The Avs are 6-3-1 on the road this year, while the Sharks are just 1-3-0 at home. San Jose is also a terrible 1-6 in its last six after scoring five goals or more in its previous game. I expect Colorado to not only win, but to win BIG; the play is the Avs on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Colorado. | |||||||
02-21-21 | Canadiens -1.5 v. Senators | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Habs PUCK LINE (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Canadiens are 9-4-2 and the Senators are 4-14-1. These teams have played twice this season and split. The Habs offense has finally started to go cold after an incredible start, but here's the perfect opponent to get untracked against. Goaltending continues to be a strong point for Montreal, with Carey Price at 5-3-2 with a 2.87 GAA. The Sens have lost two straight, most recently a 7-3 listless setback to the Leafs. Goaltending has been a major issue for Ottawa, as it ranks dead last in GPG conceded. I look for the Habs' struggling offense to get back on track in this favorable matchup! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Habs. | |||||||
02-15-21 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Hurricanes | Top | 3-7 | Loss | -159 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets PUCK LINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). I think this is going to be a super competitive game. I think it's going to be decided late or even in extra periods, so for me, I think the Jackets are well worth laying the mid-sized price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. Columbus is a deep team, skilled in every facet and honestly, it would not be too hard to see them winning this one outright. In the end though, let's lay the price for Columbus on the puckline! T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Jackets. | |||||||
02-08-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -134 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks PUCK LINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Clearly, Toronto is the better team this year. Vancouver made big strides last season, even advancing into the second round of the playoff bubble. But it lost a bunch of its defensive core, including goaltenders and it's had a much more difficult time this season duplicating its success. Toronto was good last year and it's seemingly gotten better this year. The Canucks have a good offense, but their defense and goaltending has been terrible. The Leafs are much improved on the defensive end. However, the Canucks are desperate for a win here after losing two straight, and with two games agains the Habs upcoming, I look for the Leafs to get caught looking ahead. Grab the extra 1.5 goals - the play is the Canucks on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
02-01-21 | Canucks +1.5 v. Canadiens | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -161 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* PUCK-LINE GAME OF THE WEEK). In a contest which I see being decided late or in extra time, I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals. Vancouver started the year 2-5, but it's since won four straight. The Canucks have looked a lot better on the defensie end and I think the oddsmakers are slow in adjusting. The Habs went 0 for 5 on the power play on Saturday in their loss to the Flames. The Canadiens have done better than most thought in the early going, but again let's not overreact to the first two weeks of play. Note that Vancouver is 7-2 in its last nine after a three-games or longer unbeaten streak. Lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
01-26-21 | Red Wings v. Stars -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Stars (10* PUCK-LINE MONEY-MAKER). Who saw the Stars coming out flying and crushing the Predators in two straight games after having the start of their season delayed by COVID issues? Not me. Detroit is now just 2-4-0 this year and I think it'll have its hands full trying to slow down this deep and talented home side. Detroit has managed just 2.00 GPG on 26.2 shots this season, while conceding 2.74 goals. Dallas is putting up 25 shots on net, while averaging 5.00 GPG. It's also 6-2 in its last eight vs. clubs with teams below .600. Detroit on the other hand is just 27-68 in its last 95 vs. teams with winning records. Look for Dallas to not only win this game, but win it by a huge margin. The play is Dallas on the PUCK LINE. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Dallas. | |||||||
01-23-21 | Canadiens v. Canucks +1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -180 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks PUCK LINE (8* BEST OF THE BEST). I think that wise move here is to lay the steeper price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The Canucks won in a shootout in the first game 6-5, and then the Habs won 7-3 in the second. I expect a very competitive affair like we saw in the first game. This three-games in a row dynamic is leading to intense short rivalries and I expect that to be the case today; lay the price for the Canucks on the PUCK-LINE! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
01-14-21 | Ducks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 125 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas PUCK LINE (8*). Vegas won three out of four of these games last year and I like the deeper and more talented home side to lay the hammer down on Opening Night. The Ducks allowed 3.17 GPG last year and they're just 2-6 in their last eight against the conference. The Knights have excelled in this spot for bettors by going 14-5 in their last 19 home games as the favorite. Look for the Golden Knights dominant play on both ends of the ice to prove to be too much for this rebuilding Ducks' team to hang with down the stretch. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Knights. | |||||||
09-28-20 | Lightning v. Stars +1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -178 | 26 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars PUCK LINE (6* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Stars pulled off the 3-2 OT win in Game 5 and I think they have a legitimate shot at taking this series to a Game 7 as well. Both teams are exhausted and you can tell that each is now waiting for the other to make the first mistake. But this plays directly into the Stars' strength, who do like to sit back and then plan their attack based off their opponents play. Note as well that Dallas is 6-2 in its last eight after allowing two goals or less in an OT victory in its previous outing. In a game which I think'll be decided late or even in extra periods, I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pocket! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Dallas. | |||||||
09-25-20 | Lightning v. Stars +1.5 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 29 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars PUCK LINE (6* TRADE-MARK). The Stars have their backs against the wall here. Not entirely yet, but a 3-1 hole would clearly like to be avoided here. Dallas looked great in its Game 1 win, but the Lightning have been the better team over the last two. These teams are evenly matched and I think that the Stars are going to come out here with adjustments and at the very least, take this one right down to the wire. I'll point out as well that Dallas is 7-2 in its last nine after back-to-back losses and in which it allowed five or more goals in the latest setback. I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Stars. | |||||||
09-23-20 | Lightning v. Stars +1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -192 | 29 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars (6* TRADE-MARK). Las Vegas still has the Lightning favored considerably in Game 3, but I think these teams are much more evenly matched than what this line would suggest. Goaltending is a "wash." Each team has looked brilliant at times and poor in other so far in the playoffs, but I simply feel that the Lightning are over-priced here. But in a contest which I think'll be decided in the closing moments (or maybe even in extra time), I still love the value by laying the larger price for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pockets! That's the play, Dallas on the puck-line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Stars. | |||||||
09-14-20 | Stars +1.5 v. Golden Knights | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 27 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Stars +1.5 (10* PUCK LINE GAME OF THE WEEK). The Knights are down 1-3 and they're still heavily favored as we head into Game 5. The Stars are Kryptonite to the Knights and I think that trend carries over here. Anton Khudobin and this Dallas defense has completely taken the wind out of Las Vegas's offensive attack and I don't think anything's going to change here. This is simply a bad matchup for the Knights. Note that Las Vegas is a poor 2-5 in their last seven as a playoff favorite, while the Stars are 5-1 in their last six after scoring two goals or less in their previous outing. I'm going to lay the price though here and get 1.5 goals just in case! T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Stars. | |||||||
09-12-20 | Golden Knights -1.5 v. Stars | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas PUCK LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). I think Vegas is going to win large in Game 2. These teams have been "flip flopping" with victories throughout this series and I look for that to continue here. The Stars have done extremely well defensively against the Knights, but the Dallas power play and offense hasn't been great. Las Vegas has also looked great defensively (despite being down 1-2), but I expect its high-powered offense to once again wake up here and deliver. Note that the Knights are 7-1 in their last eight after allowing three or more goals in an OT loss in their previous outing. I'm going to lay the 1.5 goals for the huge plus money return! T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Vegas. | |||||||
09-11-20 | Lightning v. Islanders +1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 27 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Islanders PUCK LINE (8* MONEY-MAKER). Tampa looked great in Game 1, winning 8-2. The Lightning though didn't look as good in Game 2, with New York taking an early 1-0 lead, before then once again falling apart down the stretch and allowing the Bolts to score the regulation winner with only a few ticks left on the clock. It was a crushing defeat for the Islanders, but most importantly I think its effort in Game 2 give us the blue-print on what to expect in Game 3 as well. This is the Islanders most important game of the entire season and I look for this team to fight until the death. Note that New York is 7-2 in its last 9 after back-to-back defeats as well. Of course I believe the outright is possible (I don't think the Isles get swept in this series and I expect their best "shot" tonight), I'm going to lay the price and grab the 1.5 goals on the puck line! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Islanders. | |||||||
09-10-20 | Golden Knights v. Stars +1.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 27 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars PUCK LINE (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). This series is all tied up and I expect another hard-fought contest in Game 3, one which I envision being decided late in the third period (or perhaps even in extra time.) The Stars were uncharacteristically sloppy in Game 2, spending 14 minutes in the bos in the second period alone. This isn't going to happen again. The Stars were one of the best defensive clubs in the league in the regular season and it entered this series as the highest scoring team in the playoffs. Outright win?! Of course, but in the end let's lay the price and get the extra goal-and-a-half! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Stars. | |||||||
09-09-20 | Islanders +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 29 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Islanders +1.5 (10* PUCK-LINE MONEY-MAKER). We've seen some crazy lop-sided scores in both the NBA and NHL Playoffs this year and we've seen those teams on the losing end bounce back in the next game quite a few times as well. There's countless examples. Either way, after getting blown out 8-2 in Game 1, I absolutely expect New York to make adjustments and to come out fired up on the defensive end. Tampa is the better team in this fight, but New York is deep and won't be rolling over. The Islanders are also 7-2 in their last nine after a five goals or larger setback in their previous outing. I think this one gets decided late, or even in an extra period and therefore I'm going to lay the price on the PUCK LINE for New York! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Isles. | |||||||
09-08-20 | Stars v. Golden Knights -1.5 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 170 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas PUCK LINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). 1-0. Wow. I didn't expect to see that score in Game 1. It was odd as well, as Dallas scored that goal in the first two minutes. Somehow the Stars then were able to clog up the middle and the Knights were never able to find any rythym at all. Do I think this will happen again in Game 2? I absolutely don't. The Knights are simply too talented and too well coached to let that happen again. Dallas surprised Vegas in Game 1, but no way that's going to happen again. Note that the Knights are 7-2 in their last nine after getting blanked in their previous outing. I'm laying the 1.5 goals and expecting a big bounce back effort from the hungry Knights! T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Vegas. | |||||||
09-03-20 | Golden Knights v. Canucks +1.5 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 31 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks PUCK-LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Canucks are not going to go down quietly in this game or series. Vancouver could have easily rolled over in Game 5 after a 3-1 deficit, but the Canucks played their best hockey to date adn dominated in their 5-2 victory. These teams are almost identical really. Both teams have plenty of offensive firepower and each is backed by an above average goaltending unit. It's interesting to note though that the Knights are just 4-7 in their last 11 after scoring one or less goals in a two-goals or greater setback. With the outright win a possibility, I still believe the puck-line is the correct way to go here! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vancouver. | |||||||
09-01-20 | Canucks +1.5 v. Golden Knights | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 27 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks (10* PUCK-LINE PUNISHER). Las Vegas is favored to win the West and move onto the Stanley Cup Finals, but I think it'll have its hands full here vs. this desperate Vancouver side. Clearly it's been a very successful season for Vancouver, but it won't be going down quietly. The Canucks won Game 2 by blocking 40 shots and I expect a similar effort here. I think the value here lies in laying a very reasonable price for 1.5 extra goals in our pocket! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Canucks. | |||||||
08-30-20 | Avalanche v. Stars +1.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars PUCK LINE (6* TRADE-MARK). Colorado earned a 6-4 win in Game 3, but I like Dallas to at the very least, take this contest to extra time. The Stars had won five straight previous to that setback and I think they'll dig deep here and rebound. Losing Phillip Grubauer to injury isn't going to help the Avalanche over the long-term (or short) either. So as stated above, in a contest which I see being decided late, or even in extra time, I have no issues at all in laying this larger price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Stars. | |||||||
08-29-20 | Golden Knights v. Canucks +1.5 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -147 | 26 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canucks PUCK LINE (10* PUCK LINE PLAY OF MONTH). After Game 2's 5-2 victory, I think the Canucks have the "blue print" now to take out the Golden Knights. Vancouver blocked 40 shots in the victory and Knights' netminder Robin Lehner looked very shaky. Vancouver also won 66.2 percent of its playoffs in Game 2. Additionally note that Vancouver is interestingly 22-11-0 when outshot by its opponent, while the Knights are interstingly just 4-9-3 in their last 16 when their opponent scored first in their last outing. Vancouver is second in the bubble in power play goals and I think it keeps the pressure on again here. Outright win? Maybe, but in a contest which I do see being decided late or in extra time, I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Canucks. | |||||||
08-19-20 | Coyotes +1.5 v. Avalanche | Top | 1-7 | Loss | -140 | 23 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Coyotes (10* PUCK-LINE BEST OF BEST). The Avalanche have a chance to close out this series, but I think the veterans on Arizona won't go down quietly here. In a game which could very well see extra time, I'm going to lay this reasonable price for an extra 1.5 goals of insurance. Arizona actually outshot the Avs last time out. I expect a very tight game, the play is the COYOTES PUCK LINE! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Yotes. | |||||||
08-15-20 | Lightning v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets (10* PUCK-LINE PLAY OF THE YEAR). Tampa won Game 1 of this seven game series in five OT's, but then Columbus bounced back in Game 2 and dominated from start to finish. The Lightning could easily be 0-2 right now and the Blue Jackets continue to get little respect from the public or oddsmakers. Columbus has four very strong lines and arguably the better goaltending here. It's also 7-2 in its last nine after a two goals or larger victory in its previous outing. I think this one could see extra periods, so that's why I'll recommend to lay this slightly larger price for the extra 1.5 goals (puck-line!) T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Jackets. | |||||||
08-14-20 | Coyotes +1.5 v. Avalanche | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 22 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coyotes PUCK-LINE (8*). Game 1 of this series was in fact very evenly matched, but the Avs managed to score three goals mid-way through the third period to seal the deal. Arizona got by Nashville in five games in its opening round, and I think it has a very legitimate shot at bouncing back here. The Avs have been red hot since the re-start, but I believe they'll have their hands full with this Coyotes team, which features plenty of veteran talent that's been here and done that. In this evenly matched contest, which I think gets decided late, I'll lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Yotes. | |||||||
03-03-20 | Maple Leafs v. Sharks +1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sharks PUCK LINE (10* GAME OF WEEK). I think the Leafs are poised for a letdown here. San Jose won't be rolling over despite it's poor overall season. The Sharks play with revenge here and they'll be extra hungry facing a Leafs team that I beleive is finally set up for a letdown tonight after winning three straight. San Jose is playing some of its best hockey of the season as well after two straight victories in which it's posted eight goals. In a contest which I envision being decided late or even in extra time, I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Toronto. | |||||||
02-24-20 | Senators v. Blue Jackets -1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets PUCK LINE (GAME OF MONTH 10*) It's now or never for Columbus. The Blue Jackets need to turn things around immediately, or their playoff hopes are going to now be over quickly. Indeed, Columbus comes into this one having lost eight straight. The Senators are the perfect opponent to get untracked against though! Ottawa is a poor 3-8 (-4.4 units) this year already after playing three straight at home. The Blue Jackets?! Note that they're still 61-39 (+9 units) in their last 100 vs. clubs with losing records. I expect Columbus to finally show up tonight and to not only find a way to win this game, but to win convincingly. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Jackets. | |||||||
02-23-20 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Stars | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 21 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blackhawks (10* PUCK-LINE PUNISHER). In a game which I expect to be decided late or even in extra time or shootout, I'm going to lay the "pick em" price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. This is the third game of a four-game season series between the clubs. Last time out the Hawks won 3-0, ending a seven-game skid in the series. Interestingly Chicago is 8-4 (+4.5 units) in all "Sunday" games this year, while Dallas is just 1-5 (-5.8 units) in the same position. T.M. Prediction: (3-2 Stars). | |||||||
02-22-20 | Panthers v. Golden Knights -1.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 132 | 27 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas (PUCK-LINE 10*). Florida stinks on the road and I believe the Panthers will indeed struggle in this difficult venue, vs. this surging Knights team. THe Panthers are in poor form, just 3-6-1 in their last ten, while the Golden Knights are 7-2-1 in their last ten. Florida is 0-4 in its last four as an underdog as well. Look for Las Vegas to to up early and to win by a decisive margin after it's all said and done. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Vegas. | |||||||
02-19-20 | Wild +1.5 v. Canucks | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Wild (puck-line) Minnesota has a great chance of winning this game but having an extra +1.5 insurance goals never hurts. Two of Minnesota's last 3 defeats were losses by 1 goal. Three of 5 games overall decided by 1 goal. Canucks off 5-1 loss and have now dropped 5 of 7. Minnesota's last game in Vancouver was a 3-2 win for the Wild. Deja Vu tonight. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Wild | |||||||
02-19-20 | Islanders +1.5 v. Avalanche | 1-3 | Loss | -175 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Islanders (puck-line) Colorado is tough but the Islanders are going to really want this game. They have only scored 1 goal in their last 3 games and will be ready to explode. Last 3 times these teams have played have all gone to the Islanders. Scores of 1-0, 4-3 and 4-1. The 4-1 win was here, in Denver. I have the Islanders winning another close one. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Isles. | |||||||
02-08-20 | Coyotes v. Bruins -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 132 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins -1.5 This one has all the ingredients of a multi-goal win for the B's. Vastly superior team. Playing better currently, on both sides of the puck. At home. A nice plus-money payout for the big win. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Bruins | |||||||
01-31-20 | Capitals -1.5 v. Senators | Top | 5-3 | Win | 130 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Capitals -1.5 This is an obvious mismatch. The Capitals lead the entire NHL with 73 points. The Senators are near the bottom with 45. The Capitals score about a goal more per game and they allow less too. In 51 games, they have 185 goals, a +34 goal differential. Ottawa has 138 goals and a -31 goal differential. Last two games between these teams have had scores of 6-1 and 7-2, both in favor of Washington. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Capitals | |||||||
01-28-20 | Senators +1.5 v. Sabres | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: OTTAWA +1.5 goals Conventional wisdom tells us that the Sabres will have the advantage due to the fact that the Senators played last night. Conventional wisdom doesnt apply right after the All Star Break though. The Sabres long layoff leads to rust. The Senators second game in two nights isnt too bad after the long break, arguably even a good thing. Ottawa won 3-1 last meeting. Another upset wont surprise. T.M. PREDICTION 4-3 OTTAWA | |||||||
01-18-20 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks (+1.5) The Blackhawks may be the underdog. They may be on the road. And they may be back in the standings a bit. But, I believe that they will find a way to grab the win here on Saturday. Chicago is 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road. They are also a sweet 7-3 in their last 10 games on the road against the Maple Leafs. For Toronto, they arfe only 5-15 in their last 20 games against the Blackhawks. They are also only 1-4 in their last 4 games this season. Give me +1.5 goals -130 anyday. Take the Blackhawks. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Blackhawks | |||||||
01-15-20 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Canadiens | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks I know that Montreal is at home. I know that they are the favorite. And I know that most people like the Canadiens here, but I'm calling for an upset here today. The Blackhawks are 5-1 in their last 6 games on the road. They are also a dominant 9-2 in their last 11 games against Montreal. Even better, they are a perfect 5-0 in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Montreal. For Montreal, they may be off two straight wins, but they are still a sad 2-8 in their last 10 games. The Canadiens are also only 1-4 in their last 5 games against an opponent in the Central Division of the Western Conference. Expect the Blackhawks to shock the home crowd here tonight. I think that they are going to win outright, but I'm glad to take the points here. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blackhawks |
