Playoff Puck Round Two: We Talk Home Chalk
We are officially into round two and Home Team Favorite’s stand 3-0 after three games. Is it time to consider making adjustments in order to stop the madness? The answer to that question is perhaps for some but “no” for ‘Ol Uncle Louie. We simply do what we do and we know what we know. Is it possible these home team favorites continue winning all the way into the Finals? Anything is possible Enthusiasts so we may just plan on exactly that. But no matter the trends our approach will be to uncover the ugliest, mangiest, mongrels available and stay our course. We are certainly in no position to be able to return to our normal (and hypothetical) $100.00 per position until we see some positive puppy results though so we will bide time and try to obtain value anywhere and anyway we can.
Rangers +115 at Bruins -125:
These two teams are dang near mirror images of one another. I could see this series take seven games and seven OT’s to decide the survivor. Two ‘from the goal out’ squads that have great minders, firm defense and some offense will tangle in another epic Boston/New York sports confrontation. In the end will it be King Henrik’s territory to rule or will the Bruin’s again ‘smoke and mirror’ their way into the Wales Finals by ousting the hated New York Rangers? Our approach to this series is game by game with road goats. Surprising eh?
Rangers +110
Sharks +135 at Kings -155:
Those with little concern about the Sharks are simply wrong to discount them and those that believe this series is far from over have some options if you are hanging with us on the Kings Futures and want to cover your risk. We rarely try to cover or hedge our future plays before the Conference Finals but we would not argue with any that choose to cover their liability NOW by bellying up with the Sharks for the series +210. We will not take that posture ourselves rather our ‘gut feel’ has us increasing the King stance because we feel the ‘Makers and the public both are slow to recognize their threat to repeat.
Tonight though we will take the Sharks in what we believe is a very critical game for them. The Sharks played pretty well Game one and there is little doubt they will bring all they have in order to escape being down 0-2 to the defending Champions of the NHL. We will get the Sharks best effort tonight and we believe +135 is a generous proposition.
Sharks +135
