I almost never play a hockey game.
Mostly because I'm not too good at it, but I'm trying to get better.
Anyway
tonight I like...
Florida Panthers +110 over the Atlanta Thrashers
Here's why....
Atlanta has beaten Fl twice this year both times in Atlanta. Gm 1 back up goalie Eddie Belfour got the start and gave up 4 goals on 9 shots. Al Auld came in and only gave up 2 on 23 shots.
In the last matchup, again in Atlanta, the Thrashers won 4-2, but one goal came as the result of a penalty shot and another was an empty netter at the end. Looking into this last match up Florida had played a home game the night beore and traveled immediately after the game to play the next night in Atlanta. While Atlanta had the night before off and was on the second of b2b home games.
Florida now finds themselves at home where they are 4-0 and have out scored foes 20-10. The Panthers were 3-1 LY at hm versus the Thrashers.
Fl Panther Todd Bertuzzi is listed day 2 day but did miss last gm in Atlanta.
Also this is gm2 in a home and home . This year there have been 7 hm&hm series in the NHL. By playing the loser of gm 1 in gm 2 you would have covered 5 of 7. One of the losses came as the result of a shootout in gm2 (gm1 in that series was won in OT)
Sorry so wordy...
Best of luck to you all on whatever you play.
