Home Forums Skybox Sports Bar Clearing the Zone 1-13

As I watch GB and SF score like a hockey game, I thought that i would post a couple of games for tonight.
Tampa Bay -.5 +110 Two bad teams, sure Hnilicka is in goal and played great last time out, but this is the same guy who gave up 7 to Philly.
Dallas -.5 -110, I cannot figure this line out. Gretzky hasn't come out of retirement to play for Minnesota has he? Good team versus bad team usually equals much bigger line than this, I am checking injuries, nope, none listed. Gretzky also NOT in the starting lineup.

I agree that hockey lines don't always make sense but thats what makes it a great sport to bet on.
Atlanta is a new, young team. Tampa is also lousy and worse on the road.I would not wager on this game because to me it is a toss up.<p>The Dallas/Minnisota game is an interesting but boring game. Dallas came from Minnesota, and since they moved, have been a very good team. Don't know if any of the resentment is still there. They play a defensive style but have some offensive talent.
Minnesota also plays a very defensive trap style game.
I think this is why the lower line. If Dallas wins, it will not likely be by more than a goal.
