Nhl: 4/10

[hockeypete]

IVE decided to post here becasue i see a couple more hockey people here then at my other forums. hopefully there is a couple more puckheads here. a little difficult to pick games on the first day of the season but this is a good value. BUFFALO SABERS +120 = 2.20 last season's Eastern Conference finals get relived in the first game of the season. anytime buffalo gets + money is always a good bet. they are in good form in the pre season (Buffalo (5-1-0) at Carolina (1-4-0)) The 'Canes were outscored 20-10 while losing their first four games and finished the preseason with only one win. so buffalo is going to come out gunning. Center Matt Cullen and defenseman Aaron Ward both signed with the New York Rangers. Doug Weight and Mark Recchi -- acquired for veteran leadership -- returned to St. Louis and Pittsburgh, respectively. the stanley cup banner goes up in carolina today... i dont expect it to go up this year.
