    +175 always looks delicious, but I wouldn't chase the Leafs tonight. A much, MUCH better value pick compared to the Leafs is the Flyers tonight at +170 against the Sharks. I said it last game, the Flyers are really due in for a win, and San Jose did get shut out last night by the winless Ducks; I think the winless Flyers can at least steal one from the Sharks.

    Probably the safest value pick tonight - look no farther than the Rangers. Likely the best team in the East right now along with Buffalo, and even though they play the Wings, +145 is value you won't get against any other team. Sprinkle some on the Blue Shirts.

    Bruins (+130) have good value tonight, too. Their last game against Montreal, they played great except for the first period. Ottawa played last night, which should slow them down a bit.

    I really, really like the spreads tonight (I'm a value hunter), I hope those help!

    Take Toronto for tonight. I know it's risky, and I really don't like the Leafs, but if you look at how they've been playing, the risk will probably pay off.

    They kept a really close game against the Rangers last night, who in my opinion are the team to beat this season, and Pittsuburgh managed to blow a 3 goal lead to the Capitals the other night. The Pens are not even close to the team they had last season, as all their players went away (well, most) and Sidney Crosby still hasn't found anyone that he can play with, and the Leafs are pretty pumped up behind a half decent goalie in Toskala (or so what hes shown from the first couple games of the season)

    The way the Rangers are playing to still get 2.50 against the Wings is awesome.

    Wild over TB and Buf over Atl are solid choices but at 1.70 and 1.60 respectively I wouldn't bother betting on either of those, losing a bet from an upset on a game with bad odds is the worst thing in the world. Unless you take Buff to win with the +, the way Vanek is playing he might just do that by himself.

    My pick of the week is Columbus over Nashville at 2.10

    If you really like to gamble, how about a Calgary/Edmonton tie for 6.00?

    I'm not sold on the Pens be over the Stanley Cup hangover. Got outshot like 50 to 15 last Saturday and lost to the Cap 4-3 after having a 3-0 lead.

    HNIC game too, Malkin allready proclaimed last year vs Detriot that he doesn't like big games and Leafs are actually playing somewhat well.

    4-2 Maple Leafs

    it is the republicans who've lied, Sarah Palin is a nutjob who mandatory to be shielded from witchcraft to get voted in as Governor of Alaska, McCain is a doddering old fool who thought Putin substitute into the president of Germany, the republicans are utilising race smears and unethical politicking...and there is not any god, fool.
