The primary role in which I examined MINN was Playing Home following a game Allowing 1goal or less
They actually fare well at 10-5 going back to beginning of last season, but beat the -1.5 in only three of those 15
I dug a little deeper a minute ago and pulled this up from their previous game this season in which the Wild won 2-1 at home again as a -180 fav.
Seems the BJ's were robbed of a game tying goal by Nash in the waining seconds and felt a bit cheated.
"After Minnesota nearly scored an empty-netter in the final minute, the Blue Jackets brought the puck back the other way and Christian Backman fired a desperation shot from just inside the blue line. Nash was in perfect position about 15 feet from the goal, but he raised his stick to direct it past Backstrom and prompt the review.
The NHL had all 30 teams in action Saturday, so the video review room in Toronto was overworked. According to a blog post on the league's official Web site, off-ice officials deemed the evidence inconclusive. So the decision was sent back to Minnesota, and the referee who made the initial call was overruled by his three colleagues.
Columbus coach Ken Hitchcock tersely dismissed the situation.
"Our description of it and our view on the video is different than the referee's, so what does it matter?" he said. "It's not a goal. They won the hockey game."
Man I hate hearing shit like this. Especially after I got my bet down.
