The Passion of Playoff Puck: I walked into a…
“Tear drops on the city
Bad scooter searching for his groove
Seem like the whole world walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Well everybody better move over, that's all
Im running on the bad side
And I got my back to the wall
Tenth avenue freeze-out, tenth avenue freeze-out”

Yes Enthusiasts this run of home team chalk is in the NHL something we have never seen before in Playoff Puck. As we have discussed, our decision to await the market correction may have been an error in thinking. We must now begin to consider that perhaps this is the market correction.
Let me explain.
In our decades of postulating on Playoff Puck we have come to rely and even set our watch to the fact that Playoff Puck was a profitable pursuit and not an overly difficult one at that. Play the road teams (usually underdogs) and profit. It has really been that easy these last decades Enthusiasts. Now remember any professional will need to select the correct hounds but the percentages of road teams covering and winning in past decades of Playoff Pucks has instilled into our DNA a road dog mentality.
Well, this year may be the whuppin ‘Ol Uncle Louie has been deserving for the past 30 some years of profiting off of Playoff Pucks. We can’t really begin to explain this run of home team chalk any other way. And while we are stubborn and set in our ways enough must finally be enough… we must attempt to ‘SHOCK’ ourselves into some form of adjustment because we are digging a hole.
In Pucks we will return to the strategy of half unit plays until we can find a ‘W’ or two and try to bide some time while working to uncover value. Our success thus far in the NHL Playoffs has been with the Futures so we may exercise those angles a bit while we bide time and try to trap a few tykes.
We will release a Preakness Blog later Friday and a UFC release for ‘Swing it Easy’ Saturday but we will ‘freeze out’ on the Pucks for a day or so, do NO writing about it and if we find the gumption to release any Puck Positions we will do so on Twitter.
Good Luck to all and ‘Swing it Easy’.
