Games of February 21st

13 games tonight, only one safe-bet I'm really comfortable with, San Jose against Atlanta, one of the best teams against one of the worst..

San Jose Sharks - Atlanta Thrashers - The big shark-tank has 87 points and the Thrashers has 48, only one player can make a difference on the Atlanta roster, Ilya Kovalchuk, but he have some big-time players who's keeping this from happening. Jumbo-Joe, Marleau, Nabokov and Boyle are those once. Weekend-game at home, maybe alot of goals, but only one winner, the Sharks..

Los Angeles Kings - Phoenix Coyotes - These teams have shown alot of weakness during this season, but the Kings should, because I think the defense and goalie is better than the Coyotes, and also home-team-advantage is a factor, be victorious..

NY Islanders - New Jersey Devils - The Devils have been amazing lately, and the Islanders haven't, that's almost all you can say about this battle. Only the boring, shut-down-playing could make this to something else than a easy two-goal win for New Jersey...

Florida Panthers - Boston Bruins - The Panthers have played surprisingly well the last couple of months, winning some tough games against good teams. This is why this could be a close battle. My favourites from Boston are always thought to win in almost every game, probably the case here aswell, but Florida has home-ice advantage, could mean business. Close game, maybe a shoot-out win for the Bruins...

Minnesota Wild - Detroit Red Wings - The red hot Red Wings haven't let me down alot of times the last couple of years, they haven't for anybody, except for the opponent. With the power-play they have shown the last few games the Wild is a team they should beat, with the help of power-play. But Minnesota always play a tight game, few goals, much because of Backstrom's exceptional goaltending, he would be a better goalie in most other teams in the league. But a victory for Detroit is the most probable outcome..

Buffalo Sabres - NY Rangers - The Sabres could have an edge here, but what is the most likely according to how the Rangers have played this season, is a tie. Few goals with even scoring could be the case...

Montreal Canadiens - Ottawa Senators - My favorite team from Ottawa has been playing some really nice hockey lately, only one loss in 7 games, impressive. But tonight the excellence of Alfie is going to be missed, but I always have hope for Heat or Spezz to flash some skills. Montreal have been terrible last 15 games, but have picked up the last two, and on home-ice, they have a good opportunity to pave some ground for the remainder of the season. The dealing of Mike Comrie and Campoli could be an ignition for the Sens. This game is a wild-card game with really good odds, tough game to predict. No Alfie could be crucial to the Sens..

The 18th of February

Of tonights games I would like to highlight three of them:

Columbus Blue Jackets - St. Louis Blues: The Blue Jackets have been a better team this year than the Blues and should win on home ice.. 1

Detroit Red Wings - Nashville Predators: The ever-so amazing team from Detroit are always strong on home-ice, and with the Preds in a slump I pick the Wings as the winner with confidence.. 1

Washington Capitals - Montreal Canadiens: The Caps with red-hot Ovechkin playing like he's from another planet, will and definetly should win rather easy, with two goals.. 1

Welcome to NHL-Bet!

This is the site you have to check before you make your nhl-bets for the night, if you want to win that is..

San Jose Sharks - Edmonton Oilers = Here's the cashflow for the night, "The Tank" from San Jose put up a good battle in New Jersey sunday night, but lost with frustration. The revenge will take place against the Oilers, who actually have played decent lately, winning-streak of three, Sharks has a losing-streak of three. So why Sharks? One of the best teams in the league who hasn't won in three, they don't like this, that's why..

Carolina Hurricanes - Boston Bruins = My second favourite team in the league, after the Sens, has had some rough games lately, with players injured, but Carolina suits them well and I think that the Bruins could win with a goal, tight game..

Colorado Avalanche - Ottawa Senators = The Sens have been smoking the last five games, after the firing of Craig Hartsburg, and the initial loss. They have won away in Philadelphia, Minnesota and Nashville, and they could repeat the winning-trend against the worst team in the west, but you never know with Colorado, home-advantage is always tricky..

Florida Panthers - New Jersey Devils = The Panthers have been putting up some good games the last month, that's why they're in seventh place in the east, and home-advantage could mean better confidence against the best team in the league at this moment. One can argue the difference but they have won against Boston and San Jose, only in the last week. A tight game that could go either way, but the offensive-squad on Devils's roster is far too impressive than the Panthers, that's why I think they could end up as the winner with two goals..

Games
San Jose - Edmonton  - 1
Carolina - Boston         - 2
Colorado - Ottawa       - x2
Florida - New Jersey  -  x2

Results
San Jose - Edmonton - 5-3
Colorado - Ottawa      - 2-4


Im playing it safe this first night with San Jose, Boston and New Jersey as winners, even though the latter two are away-teams. I pick Ottawa because the want to win real bad now, and they have to win most of the games left if they want to reach the playoffs, but still, Colorado has home-advantage..
