Thurs 10/21 NHL

Thurs 10/21 NHL 2-3 last night but made money. Imagine that. And actually WON a total! 22-15 Sides (+13.1) 2-7 Totals (-4.5) 1/2 NY Rangers/Toronto UN 5' (-115) Biron vs. Gustavsson tonight in goal in lieu of Lundqvist vs. Giguere. However, the Rangers are struggling to score. Their best offensive threat right now might be Sean Avery. When Avery is your biggest threat, that's not good. Toronto has really upgraded their penalty kill this year. Now in the top 10. Rangers are 2nd to last however. 4 Boston (+110) Money predictably coming in on the Caps in a short-term revenge spot (Bruins won 3-1 on Tues in DC). Also b/c Tuukka Rask is in goal tonight for the Bruins instead of Tim Thomas, who has been the hottest goaltender in the NHL this year. Contrarian play. 6 Philadelphia +160 Puck Line Philly is 2 for 22 on the Power Play this year but they have done some tinkering with it. Pronger getting back to health and is being put on the first line. They are going back to what worked last year. 9 New Jersey (-112) Devils have lost 2 straight at home and all 3 on home ice and yet they are favored on the road against a good team in a tough venue? Hmmm. 12 Florida (-125) Dallas is the worst penalty kill in the league. Florida has the #3 goalminder in the league in Tomas Vokoun. 17 San Jose (-103) Sharks dropped two in a row at home to mediocre to bad teams (Atlanta and Carolina). Colorado finally back home off long, yet successful road trip back east. I like to go against teams in that spot.
Thomas now in goal for Boston.
19 Minnesota (+107) 21 Los Angeles (+120)
