Hockey Help (USA vs Canada)

[NoCashMcgraff]

honestly, have never wagered a hockey game in my entire life..I am not completely clueless to the sport as I do follow somewhat. I know who the superstars are in the league but I wouldn't say I am knowledgeable enough to cap games on my own. Tonight's game should be a great game, so I want to throw down a little coin on it. Since, I don't know shit, I am looking for someone who does to lead me in the right direction.

Canada -1.5+105
USA +1.5 - 125

Over 5.5 -140
Under 5.5 +120

these are the lines I currently have..My own brain tells me to play canada -1.5..not sure if that is the right side, but that is what I am thinking.. help please.. thanks guys

might be able to convince my local to give me -300 on Canada ML..not sure I want to lay that kind of chalk though.

They will probably meet again. I would have to say this one may go to Canada. Too close to call on the - 1 1/2, but gun to my head I would play the neighbors to the north. I am a southerner so hockey ain't my thing, but I have been watching the Olympic games.

Next game may be different in the medal round. Chado would be a good resource.

Good luck, will be a good game

Is NBC going to show this live or on tape delay? Right now they have the Russia game on in the 2nd period which finished over an hour ago.

Wayne is on Canada and the over 5-

He hit his first play on the Russians earlier

Chado is an expert for sure.

What a fuckin great game!!!

I would happily lose my Canada wager as long as i get a split with the over!

does anyone have any idea what the line was when the USA beat the soviets in 1980? Just taking a look at some of the biggest upsets in sports history and I am just curious as to what the line was. I am trying to do research online to find it and can't seem to.

Some other major upsets were Buster Douglas over Tyson at 42-1..WOW

and the NY Jets over the Baltimore Colts in SB 3 were +18 and won outright..

anyone have any idea?

For the most part, the internet and offshore books didn't exist. Maybe Vegas had a line on that but i don't know.

Usc was around a 42 point favorite about 3 years ago and lost to Stanford.

Gooooooooooooooal!!!!

this reminds me of Appy St beating Michigan...I know most places didnt have a line for the game but I believe it was like 33 or so..

That USC game was fuckin nuts

[NoCashMcgraff]

Gooooooooooooooal!!!!

I can't believe the US has put 4 pucks past Marty B..I would have told someone they were insane if they told me the US would score 4 times today

I'm still confused why Broduer is in a net. It's like they want to give Martin his last hurrah at these olympics. Luongo is the better goalie at this stage of their careers. I expect to see him in the net for the rest of the olympics.

I don't claim to know much about hockey but I thought Martin was playing very well this season. No?
