Here are todays picks

I will update my record I promise.

Washington Capitals -1 at 2.15 vs Vancouver Canucks

I look for the Capitals to get a desperate win and Ovechkin will likely see the scoreboard at least a couple times as they cruise past a beat up Canucks team that has not played well either. Ryan Kesler will be a big energy loss and they won't be able to match Washington's on home ice needing a win.

Dallas Stars to win in regulation vs Calgary Flames and Over 5 goals parlay for 2.56 odds

Dallas needs to win this game, plain and simple, if they deserve to be in the playoffs which I believe they do they will win and rather easily I might add, Calgary somehow puts up some goals though and with Thomas as the starter I look for it to easily reach 5 goals and likely cash at 6.

New York Rangers 1.91 at Winnipeg Jets

I am not a huge fan of this pick and I argued for a moment whether to include it or not but here we are taking the Rangers, I think they are the better team, although both goalies can play at a high level I have more faith in Lundquist. As the Rangers search for another win and as Winnipeg continues to struggle I have to lean off Winnipeg even at home.

Value Picks

Edmonton Oilers 2.95 at Detroit Red Wings

Are you kidding me, I know the Oilers are bad but the Red Wings are missing half their roster and I love Edmonton to take a win on the road here. Tonight will prove me right or wrong but I have no clue why the public would jump on Detroit.

Florida Panthers 2.40 vs New Jersey Devils

Luongo vs Schnieder is the bigger headline, both the former Vancouver Canucks are likely glad to be fitting into their new jerseys. I see Luongo proving once again that he is the better goalie and besides that I like Florida's offense compared to New Jersey and getting such a dog at home is a steal, take it.
Follow me on Twitter for todays pick @TheBettorsDream

I guarantee the pick is worth it as sports interaction has messed up the odds.

Hint: Look at the alternative spreads of the Colorado Avalanche and jump on it.

Thursday, March 13, 2014

I am in a bit of a rush today but made time for the picks.

Here they are

Minnesota Wild 1.91 vs New York Rangers

Both teams have struggled a bit of late and with two fairly even teams and Lundquist will not be starting I will side with the home team to take a close one.

Boston Bruins vs Phoenix Coyotes and Under 5.5 for 1.74

I see the Bruins to continue winning especially back at home but I think coming back from Montreal will result in a defensive game which is exactly the style suited to Mike Smith and the Coyotes and the under is much more valuable than buying the Bruins for 1.51 as in a low scoring game I am not confident enough to pick a side with these two teams playing so well.

Carolina Hurricanes -1 at 1.83 vs Buffalo Sabres

I see Carolina getting another win here at home against a lost Sabres club that will need years before they will compete again. Carolina is not great, but are much better off than Buffalo especially given the home ice advantage. Lets go Canes.

Value Picks


Florida Panthers 3.15 at Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay has just been a mess, and they should get a win tonight, but in a rivalry game the odds have ran with the public and the value is certainly with Florida with five straight losses by Tampa Bay. Maybe the impact of St. Louis leaving was a little more devastating than management thought it would be.

Edmonton Oilers +1.5 at 1.91 at St Louis Blues

The Blues are very good but this is the NHL and any team can win of a given night and to get a chance to lose by a goal for almost even odds is far to good to give up in my mind. St Louis has dominated this series but Edmonton is used to being at the bottom without playoff hope so look for them to compete and upsets like this are just what they want to build on. St Louis in general plays fairly close games while still winning so although I still give the odds to win, I will take the chance plus a goal that it will be more competitive than the public thinks.

Wednesday, March 12, 2014

Nothing to write home about last night as we broke relatively even as the picks went 2-1-0 and the value picks were 0-1-1. Lets try and find some profits tonight so here is what I am looking at for picks.

Record 2-2-1

Boston Bruins 1.74 at Montreal Canadiens 

This always makes for a good match up but on the road or at home Boston is playing much to well to pass up at really great odds in my opinion. I like them on the money line as it could very well be close but I look for the Bruins to once again gain the edge on offense and if that fails, they can always rely on the big edge they have in goal assuming it will be Rask vs Budaj. Go with the Bruins.

Winnipeg Jets 1.71 vs Vancouver Canucks

These teams are both stinking and Vancouver actually looked good... until the third. A seven goal period could very well wake the Canucks up but the Jets are in the same position and Winnipeg is no easy city to play in so ill take Winnipeg at good odds and get the home crowd a much deserved win.

Anaheim Ducks -1 at 1.87 at Calgary Flames

The Ducks are not playing at their best losing their last three games at home but being a good road team as well this should be a great spot for them to get a little pressure off from the home crowd and play a solid game against not only a bad Calgary Flames team but one that is also very banged up. Anaheim should win relatively easy even though Calgary usually does play well at home the Ducks are just much better overall. 

Value Picks

Record 2-1-1

Colorado Avalanche 2.10 vs Chicago Blackhawks

I have three main thoughts into this pick. First is that Colorado has owned Chicago in recent history even while Chicago was playing so hot it was Colorado who would solve them. Secondly I believe that Colorado is currently in a better form than Chicago. Lastly Colorado is at home where they play very well and I am sure they have all been at home waiting for this game. I am definitely siding with Colorado in this one however if you are looking at Chicago take the -1 at 2.65 as they are a 1.77 favourite in the game yet Colorado only pays 2.35 which is a bit odd so jump on that advantage if you take Chicago. 

Tuesday, March 11, 2014

A great night, our picks of the night went 0-1-1 but the value picks went 2-0 cashing at great odds of roughly 3.7 on each ticket with the Islanders scoring 7 goals in the third... I didn't know that was still possible in the NHL and Toronto controlling a lead all game to win 3-1 in Anaheim. Great picks and if you took all four picks you made a nice profit last night.


On to Tonight's Picks         Record  0-1-1


Columbus 1.69 vs Detroit

They got off early last night and as goes for Dallas I am sure they got a wake up call as is human nature when something such as last night happens. I see Columbus taking care of the beat up Red Wings at home and they will lead off with the first goal as they did the night before. Both teams are in the hunt but home ice should be enough of an edge to get the win.

Nashville 1.83 at Buffalo

Odds like this I will fade Buffalo easily, Nashville is by no means great but got back in the win column against Ottawa and had played some difficult close losses prior to that against top teams (St Louis, Pittsburgh). I look for them to come out and finally be on the winning side of one of those low scoring games they have been playing.

New York Rangers 1.71 or -1 at 2.45 at Carolina

This is one of those games. New York is 10-0-0 against Carolina. I am not going against that especially given the positions of these teams. The over is also worth a look a 7-1-2 and pays a very good 2.30 at over 5.5. I am certainly hoping for a 4-2 Rangers victory!

Value Bets            Record 2-0-0

Dallas -1 at 4.00 at St Louis

I am sorry, St Louis is a very good team and not often do I bet against them however Dallas is in need of every win possible and they could come out flying after last night. Lets look for a big outing from the Stars to get a road win knowing their teammate is okay.

Toronto -1 at 4.15 at San Jose

It won't be easy but they played well last night and may have enough in them to get another win to the streak so at such inflated odds I will side with the value of Toronto.



Monday, March 10, 2014

I will keep a weekly record from now on starting every Monday! So lets get off to a great start with todays picks

Tampa Bay -1 vs Phoenix

Look for Stamkos to get back into things and put up a couple points leading Tampa to another important home win.

Los Angeles -1 at Calgary

They stomped on Edmonton last night and although Calgary does win at home LA is playing at the top of their game right now and that is a scary thing, 91 shots the last 2 games. You can also try the under 5 goals as it is 1-8-1 in the last ten however I do caution as LA is scoring and pushed it over last night in Edmonton where they were in a similar situation.

As those are my favourite games to win I am going to give a couple value plays for the night.

I am going to be taking the Islanders at -1 vs the Canucks and Toronto at -1 vs Anaheim. Each is worth around 3.75 which is excellent value. The Islanders still seem to be putting some offense together and with Vancouver having no better luck these days I will glady take a go with the value. As for Toronto this is a bit riskier however the last 4 games Toronto has beat Anaheim by at least two goals and I think they may be desperate enough to pull out the win. J. Bernier is also very comfortable playing in California.

NCAA Basketball Picks

Alright so my first two NCAA Basketball Picks have lost and I am looking to even that out with some winners. The games are getting very exciting as selection sunday is very soon and teams on the bubble will be playing desperately.

Syracuse -1 at Florida State

Florida State has been playing very well of late and Syracuse has not. This is very unlike Syracuse who has the talent and coaching to win they just must focus as a group. Although being in Florida State is going to be tough I see the stars of Syracuse rising and locking up a win to build some confidence heading into conference tournament play. I may be wrong, they may continue losing and get stomped on the road but I believe they have too much firepower for Florida State to handle on most given nights.

Florida Gulf Coast -2 vs Mercer

This game will be close but I believe the experience of Florida GC and playing at home will give them the edge to work out a victory in the last minutes of the game.

Maryland vs Virginia - Half time/Full time - Maryland/Virginia at 6.00

Don't bet your life on it but with six ways of winning getting 6-1 odds is good enough for me as Maryland is bound to come and play and I can see them coming out strong in the first half but ultimately getting pushed out of a win by a better Virginia team who has proven they can win road games.


Well our picks once again went well depending how you played them. As the Boston game pushed at -1, Carolina lost by one so if you played the +1 you also pushed or lost playing the -1. St Louis once again got us a win and was the lone profit for us but as I said before a push is a win as its as if you never bet on the game and I am fine taking my money back as long as I am not losing it.

Lets get into todays picks


New York Rangers 1.61 vs Detroit Red Wings

Detroit has done a pretty good job, better than I thought considering the injuries to the team but I think the nationally televised game will provide enough excitement in the New York locker room to get a win. I really want to play the regulation win at 2.00 however with these teams playing close low scorings games in the past I am going to proceed with a bit of caution and buy the money line although I am quite confident in the pick of the Rangers.

Chicago Blackhawks -1 at 1.83 at Buffalo Sabres

These teams ought to be in different leagues as this game should not be close. Although goaltending has stood tall for the Sabres I don't think they will keep tonights shooting gallery within a goal.

Los Angeles Kings at Edmonton Oilers - Under 5 at 1.91

These two teams are 0-8-2 in the over/under so it is likely we will see this continue especially with Scrivens looking to prove himself that he can be a starting goaltender against his former team. Edmonton has also played a reasonable defensive game of late but need to do a better job scoring. As long as J. Quick starts for LA this will not be the game to set the offensive into motion so look for Edmonton to compete in a defensive game that Scrivens shines but still is likely to lose.





Friday, March 7, 2014

Okay we are on a roll so lets keep making sharp picks, please comment on any pick if you disagree, agree, or have any opinion on the game.


The picks of today are:

Boston -1 at 2.65 at Tampa Bay

Yes, Tampa Bay may have Stamkos back and they are quite impressive at home but Boston is just such a strong all around team that plays a great system and with history favouring the Bruins I still see Tampa Bay looking to find its rhythm against a Boston team who has already found theirs. I do not want to buy Boston however so I will take them at -1 to win by a couple.

Carolina -1 at 3.4 or +1 at 1.71 at New Jersey

These are two teams both playing back to back games and last night I saw a good fight from Carolina against a strong Rangers teams, while I saw little from the Devils against a banged up Detroit squad. With Carolina playing some tight games and from the previous nights performance I am going to take the much better odds of Carolina pulling out a victory. Play it how you want as each play has value for what it offers in my opinion.

St. Louis 1.87 at Colorado

I really did not want to pick three roads teams to try and go 9-0 but the picks are the picks and thats how they will play. I love Colorado, I think they have a solid group and I think Patrick Roy has quickly proven he can coach at this level. St Louis however I consider perhaps the best team in the league, Colorado being up there but just not on the same level and with that I am going to take the defensive Blues to shutdown the Colorado offense and once again get a close win.



Once again everybody the picks went 3-0 tonight with New York coming back in the third, Florida easily took care of Buffalo as expected and Calgary also made a desperate third period comeback to get us the win in regulation. The games all turned out very well in our favour covering all the spreads allowing us to win on each of the bets! That makes our picks 6-0 in the last two days, tomorrow is a whole new day though so lets try and come back with some more solid winners and keep the bankroll moving up.


Alright, lets keep on a roll and get straight to some picks today! 4-0 Yesterday.

New York Rangers -1 at 2.60 vs Carolina Hurricanes

Take the Rangers at plus odds to get the two goal win vs Carolina, I see them snapping their losing skid and regaining a winning form as they have been outshooting their opponents and Lundquist will stand tall for the Rangers. New York having won the last 9 meetings helps make the pick too.

Florida Panthers -1 at 1.95 vs Buffalo Sabres

Both starting goalies will be sporting a new jersey tonight however look for Luongo to look much more in place already being very familiar in Florida and excited for another new start. Buffalo somehow beat Tampa Bay and have been on a tear but I just can not see that trend working for long and in a back to back I am looking for Florida with improved goaltending to finally take advantage of an even weaker Buffalo squad.

Calgary Flames in regulation at 2.05 vs New York Islanders

I thought the Islanders were going to continue winning but the Oilers made a great comeback. I expect in back to back home games will cause even further difficulty tonight making it a little easier for the Flames to walk away with a win in regulation.


Thursday, March 6, 2014

A great night as we went 3-0 with the picks! Chicago blew out Columbus, Colorado made an OT comeback win and St Louis won in a controlled 2-1 victory.

Our Twitter pick of New York Islanders vs Edmonton being under 5.5 is looking really good at the moment as well. That would sure be a fantastic way to wrap up the night. We will see..

Stay tuned for more picks tomorrow as we look to continue the streak!

See you tomorrow for more action!


Well, with a few ups and downs the past few days we are still over one thousand dollars, which I am completely satisfied with as this is a marathon and in no way a sprint. Although we all wish it could happen fast the truth is the faster it happens the greater risk you are likely taking that you may end up bankrupt.

Although I will admit I do play a considerable amount of parlays (multiple game bet, which all must win), some say it is better to just lay a single team, and usually it is in the long term. As long as I continue on the winning side I am comfortable expanding my betting profile to include parlays that  although add considerable risk to a bet, can be help introduce profits to your bankroll, but only if you bet within the risk. That means if I am willing to place $50 on a straight bet, do not play $50 on a four team parlay bet just because it pays big, the odds of winning are greatly reduced as multiple outcomes must occur however if you manage your bets and make smaller investments at the greater risk you can make some smart parlay picks.

At the end of the day most games are more equal than assumed and if each team stands a roughly 50% of winning, it is likely that out of two picks one may very well lose based on odds of the event occurring. That means the chance of winning your four or eight team parlay does not stand up very well. If you are playing parlays I would recommend a three team parlay betting strategy of about 20% of the amount you would on a single game pick.

Now with all that said here are some picks.

Colorado 1.91 at Detroit

Detroit has taken care of Colorado in its last four meetings however in each game they were outshot by Colorado. Once again with a banged up lineup I see Detroit suffering from the loss of a couple leaders and finally giving in to a Colorado team that just came off a regulation win in Chicago. At toss up odds take the better team even if both clubs were at full health.

Chicago -1 at 1.87 vs Columbus

Chicago is 10-0-0 vs Columbus. Although Columbus has been playing better and should not be underrated especially with strong goaltending on any given night. These past numbers can not be passed up and although I will take the chance of a two goal win by Chicago I will do so cautiously as the last four games Chicago has only won by a goal.

St Louis 1.65 at Nashville

I am not going too look much into this but I expect this line to keep falling as bets are made on St Louis. You can also try the -1 odds at 2.10 on St Louis.

As you will come to see I am a fan of -1 odds. They were recently not offered but appear to have made there way back. I am a believer that in terms of betting, a push is a win, it is as if the bet was never made. Now on teams such as Chicago or St Louis who are expected to win on most given nights especially at home the money line offers little value at times, while the -1.5 spread means a game must end in regulation by two goals. What a -1 spread means in a NHL game is that as long as your team wins, you win. You win by it either being a push saving you in case of a win in extra time or by greater odds if the team does win in regulation and like I said, empty net goals are huge in NHL Betting, they lead to 4-2 scores over 5.5 and they lead to two goal victories in otherwise one goal games.

That is all for now, many lines have not yet been announced and Stamkos return at home vs Buffalo may be something you want to bet as soon as the line is announced as I don't see the line moving much in Buffalos favor when it is.


Tuesday, March 4, 2014

A fairly good night last night picking both Dallas and Minnesota to win by one in regulation and both events occurring bang on. The other picks did not fair so well, however the Montreal game was a value play and the under did indeed cash with a low number of shots on goal. I recommended the wrong basketball pick as Kansas State was not able to cover the +9 spread but both NC State and Notre Dame covered easily but we will try and correct that with another pick tonight.

Here are the picks.

New Jersey 1.77 vs Detroit
Brodeur may be playing his last game as a Devil, he may not be, who really knows but either way I think just as he did last game he will play a shutdown game against a Detroit squad missing out on Zetterberg and Datsyuk. Given the home ice advantage and New Jersey being 9-3-1 in the last 13 games at home vs Detroit, I am comfortable laying the money to take a home win. Pick New Jersey at 1.77 odds.

Ottawa 1.83 vs Edmonton
Look for the birth of Anderson's child to motivate him to play at the top of his game and handle the Oilers with relative ease. Ottawa will outshoot Edmonton by a fair margin and that gives Ottawa a big advantage to come away with a win. Scrivens has played well but has not been winning as has been the case with the Oilers for years and I am looking for it to be one more loss to the record.

Winnipeg 1.80 in regulation vs NY Islanders
Without Tavares, trades looming and the Islanders bound to fall I am fading them until I see a reason to do otherwise. The goaltending matchup is a huge advantage to Winnipeg especially on home ice being one of the toughest rinks to play in. Plus Winnipeg is on a tear and continues to prove they are playing like the real deal. Lets go with Winnipeg to win in regulation.


Those are the picks everybody! I will be back later with an NCAA BB pick as well as perhaps another NHL pick or two as I like a lot of the matchups tonight.

Monday, March 3, 2014

Any basketball fans?

NCAA Basketball Pick: Kansas State +9 at Oklahoma State

I have no doubt Oklahoma State can secure a home victory but to say they will do it by 9 is just a bit unrealistic to me considering it has happened just once in the last ten games and with the importance of every game and wanting to head into conference tournament play on winning notes I expect this one to be a closely contested match, at least within the realm of 9 points. Take the points on Kansas State at 1.91.

That will be all the picks for the day, please comment and check back tomorrow for more picks and of course relax and enjoy the games on the table tonight.



Montreal 2.50 vs Los Angeles and Under 5 at 1.87

As the lines have dropped on both the other picks I am going to offer another pick. This is more of a value pick but I am taking Montreal at a 2.50 money line. They have absolutely dominated Los Angeles in past history besides the last game being embarrassed 6-0 on home ice. I look for them to have revenge in mind and pay LA back the favor as they have won the previous seven meetings between the teams. Also I am taking the chance that Price may play having travelled with the team and no starting goaltender being announced as of yet. That also makes me look towards the under 5.0 at 1.87 with two olympic starting goalies going head to head. Take Montreal for the pick at a good value even on the road in California.

**Update**
It looks like Budaj will indeed get the start again so I am going to back off the over/under bet but still support Montreal to win. They play well on the road and as a dog and although I believe LA is getting back to its ways I look for a small set back with a cohesive Montreal team. I believe this is also a game where the public heavily favors LA which is giving us value in the line and smart bettors are taking the plus money rather than buying the LA ML.
I apologize, I promised picks this morning and I failed to deliver. I did have a couple picks I made myself which ended in a small loss on the night. I had taken St. Louis ML at 1.80 and the under at 1.83 and St. Louis made a desperate third period effort to win the game 4-2 scoring in the last two minutes of the game sending this one over. Although I would of preferred that win of $300.00 I did profit on my smaller wager of St Louis -1.5 which luckily came back to win to help cover the damage of the loss.

Anyways lets get into some picks for today.

Dallas 1.71 in Regulation vs Buffalo

Alright in general I am not a huge fan of regulation bets, I believe so many games are much closer than a spread indicates and a hot goalie can make any game close and many needing extra time or even a shootout to decide a winner. Now you may ask why I bet -1.5 if I don't bet regulation as essentially it is the same thing just by two goals. The reason being is I am a complete believer in the empty netter goals and in games I usually believe end in regulation I like the odds of them already being up by a couple or having the wide opportunity of an empty net to give us a two goal profit. As for this Dallas game, I believe Dallas is heating up and lost to Tampa Bay because of a hot goalie in Bishop stopping 40 of 42 shots, Dallas giving up half of that in shots but ultimately losing. Buffalo is in a scramble, they have won every game since the olympic break, traded away star Ryan Miller and one of Buffalos better players in Ott, are looking at trades for Halak and Stewart who have yet to even wear the jersey and it appears Halak never will with Enroth getting the start. He has played well with all this but his team is incredibly weak right now and if Miller struggled Enroth is bound to get back to his losing ways as Buffalo loses its edge on the road and a much stronger and more skilled team takes care of the win on home ice easily. With the -1.5 line being only 2.30, I would rather buy the goal and bet them to just win in case Enroth keeps up his strong play and keep Buffalo close but ultimately still losing in regulation. It is almost like every player in Buffalo is putting on a top performance to try and get interest for a trade out of the city and the current team but I there is no way I see that continuing. If Dallas stands a chance in the Western Conference this game should be a routine victory for Dallas.

Minnesota 1.91 in Regulation vs Calgary

Again... I really don't like the odds of 2.50 on the -1.5 line, I mainly look for a line closer to or above 3.00 for it to be profitable. Much like the other pick Calgary is also at the very bottom of the standings but have also been playing much better of late. Minnesota has also been playing strong and at home I don't doubt they should take care of Calgary in regulation. The ML just has no value for me in this game as I do feel Minnesota should win easily but with the play of Calgary I will once again buy the goal just in case it is closer than I think. As Minnesota is 21-8 as a favourite meaning they win most of the games they are expected to win I feel confident that they can do it as a 21-7-2 home team against a Calgary team most would expect Minnesota to outplay even if it is a low scoring affair. I do however prefer the over 5 goals in this game compared to any of the other games on the night. I think it provides the most value as the last 4 games have reached that or more and as Minnesota is still hunting down a goalie and Calgary always seems to find a way to score a couple I would take my chance with the over, its not the strongest bet and therefore I am not including it as a pick but I do think it has value with it being at 5 and paying out 1.87.      Look at the Toronto vs Columbus game which pays out only 1.80 for over 5.5, yes it could happen, but I am not going to risk my money that it doesn't end up 2-2 in the third for 1.80.

Those will be the picks of the day, if you have any comments or are looking for advice on a certain game feel free to comment and discuss.




Saturday, March 1, 2014

A long day it was, certainly not a free weekend as tomorrow is also full of college basketball games. As for the last pick we really just got unlucky as Chicago scored a couple goals in the last half of the third the last coming with just a few minutes left off of a Pittsburgh defender sending the score to a 5-1 total leaving us with a loss on our under 5.5 pick. Overall however we came out ahead 2-1 today with a profitable LA pick. As for myself I also found myself on the winning side today betting on not just the games given but numerous others throughout the day leaving me with an end of the day total of 1516.62 with an in-game money line bet on Edmonton at 2.73. We will see if that one profits to add to the days success.

I will be back with a post and some picks in the morning as college basketball play finishes up. Come back and visit for the free picks remember I am 4-1 overall so far in my free picks.


We nailed it again with LA at -1.5 vs Carolina, an empty netter gets us the cover. That makes my picks 4-0 since I began yesterday!

Now the last pick of the night,

The Winter Classic in Chicago

Pick: Under 5.5, the weather appears to have a light snowfall and chill conditions and I think this helps us with an under play. Chicago was a bit flat last game until the last minute and I expect a hard fought outdoor battle with maybe less than ideal ice conditions giving the advantage to the defensive ends.
My prospective strategy actually went 0-7 last night, so much for a strategy, anyways I am going to continue to test to see if overtime it will lead me to some better results. As for last night, I won a ticket which took Colorado -1.5, Anaheim, Anaheim vs St. Louis Under 5.5 and Minnesota vs Vancouver Under 5. This put out a fair win of 789.06, this leaves me with a grand total after two days of work of 1289.06.

Today Picks:

I will update with further picks throughout the day.

New Jersey 1.77 vs New York Islanders 

I knew I should of taken it last night at 1.91 however I still see them as a clear favourite with Brodeur possibly playing his last game in a Devils uniform you know he will come up at his best. Add in that New York lost superstar John Tavares during the Olympics and you have a bet.

***Update***
Another win on New Jersey just as I expected getting 1.77 odds and a solid profit. The next pick will be Los Angeles, I am choosing to go with the -1.5 line at 2.6, I believe LA is coming to form and they will begin dominating at home again, Dustin Brown is chipping in and the rest of the lineup, especially Kopitar and Doughty are playing above and beyond. Against a unpredictable Carolina team with backup quality goaltender against predictably Jonathon Quick, Although they have not announced it. I will take the odds of LA burying Carolina by a couple.
