NHL ICE PICKS and DAILY DOUBLE DOG 3-11-04
okay we finally had a winning night going 2-0 with wins by BUF and TB. Lost on the DDD with a tie by MIN and loss by PHX...DDD stands at 0-2 for the week.
i been looking long and hard at the DDD last night and this morning, can't afford another losing night, usually at 30% we pay juice se we need to get back on track tonight.
also im gonna post all my plays, do what you want with them, but my top plays i put $500 on usually unless i really like it then ill put $1000 on it. for info the DDD i usually play $50 sometimes a $100....so having said that...here they are the plays tonight with the write-up below..

TOP PLAYS
BOS (-0.5 +125) $500 to win $625
like the positive money here.. BOS has beaten BUF 3 times this year while losing once....last win was early Feb. and it was a 6-2 thumping.
BUF played last night in DC and had to jump a plane last night back home so not a long flight but it means bedtime around 1 or 2 AM. thats in our favour..
BOS tenders have a 92% save perct. in their last 5 while BUF stands at 89%.
BUF has a few more injuries specifically defenceman Zhitnik, hes questionable for tonight so even if he does suit up he's not 100%...this guy the is the quarterback of the defence plus he can put points on the board...that goes in our favour.
BOS is the better team so we side with them being rested and in the hunt for the upper playoff seeds.
DAL (+0.5 -110) $500 to win $455
Stars got throttled by the penguins last game...not good...actually down right embarassing....despite the fact they outshot PIT by 45 to 19...prior to that DAL was 8-0-1 in their last 9 games...what i like about last game is everyone needs a spanking once and awhile just to remind us that we cant go to sleep on easy teams....and the Flyers aren't an easy team tonight.
both teams have similar records, stats etc. except DAL puts more shots on net, almost 10 more a game in their last 5 and they allow 3 less a game compared to the flyers....that means puck will be in the flyers end more...when its their end its not in the stars end...these teams have met once this year and it ended in a tie....so we have more shots on the flyers and if we do tie we get the half goal for the cash...but my pick is the game ends up 2-1 or 3-2 for the stars.
DAILY DOUBLE DOG
NYI +141
Isles have a few trades gonna help them tonight and the Sharks are hurting with putting few guys in the infimery.
CAL +122
Sens have had struggling goaltending in the last 10 games...its a big topic in Ottawa...fans were disappointed they trade for a goalie...they beat WASH last game 4-1 but WASH only got 14 shots on net, the Flames can fire that a target in one period....
OTT has been suspect on the road of late, discounting WASH win, losses to PHI, BUF and MTL in their last 3.
CAL plays better at home and the last time these teams met in OTT the Flames lost by a late 3rd period goal 2-1....we like the flames to solidify their playoff position tonight
$50 bet pays $217.51
