BlackHawks//Wild tonight

BlackHawks//Wild tonight I am placing a bet on the Wild puck line tonight. I don't like their situation that much in that they played last night and lost and Chicago is desperate to win and stay close. But the line is far too high IMO with the Hawks at -185 and higher. Chicago has struggled at home all year and continue to get line respect like a Stanley Cup winner instead of the lesser club they are now. The Wild are a good club and have a better record than Chicago. At +1.5-170 I'll try to bet better I think this is excellent value. I'm not handicapping the Wild here but I like my odds and hoping for a game they can keep close if they cannot win it. My choice also has nothing to do with Quenneville not actually coaching the Hawks tonight. I would think it is a negative for Chicago but I have left out of my analysis.

I was at the game tonight. I couldn't pull the trigger on the Hawks so I just watched for fun. Was a good game. Hawks fans are some of the best in the country. A lot of hotties at the the game as well. Always a plus. They played a bit different without Quennville on Defense. They attacked the puck instead of playing back. It certainly was an improvement. Quennville isn't a great coach.
