NHL ICE PICKS FOR 3-8-04
okay new week, gonna try and improve on last weeks 13-5 record or at least maintain that hit ratio....
5 games on the frozen pond tonight and here is what we like...
MON (+0.5 -115)
there is a good chance this game ends up a tie, but we get the half goal for the cash either way.....we are riding HOT TENDERS, I MEAN SMOKING, CALL 911....Garon on Saturday night had 46 saves out of 48 to give the Habs a 4-2 victory over the Kings...now we also have Theodore on the Habs so obviously it doesn't matter who they put between the pipes this bodes well for us taking home the cash...
MON/ANA Under 4.5 +100
good goaltending on both sides of the rink plus the fact the under is 6-1 in the 7 meetings...now montreal has had a lot of their games go over on the road....but they were playing shitty goaltending, we expect 2-1 or at worst 3-1 the score in this one
VAN (-0.5 -105)
although these two tied at 5-5 last game we are going with vancouver because of a hot goalie, Hedberg gonna play in the pipes tonight and he has two shutouts in his last two starts (Cloutier played last meeting in COL for VAN) ....AVs got throttled yesterday by Calgary to the tune of 7-1.....i watched the game...absolutely ugly, ugly, ugly...rumour is AVs are looking to secure Kolzig from WASH because their goaltending just plainly sucks....no other way to describe it....lets play the hot tender for the Canucks looking for his 3rd shutout in a row....VAN has a save percentage of 94% in the last 5 while COL is at 87%..
no Daily Double Dog today not enough games.....full card tomorrow and i already see some good opportunites.
best of luck
