Ivan's Back to Present his GAME OF THE WEEK

I haven't posted in a while...and I will LIMIT my games when I bet - However I really like the Avalanche and the + $ here.

Avs are playing terrific on the road with Tony Granato as their head coach. The Avs were embarrased as they lost 7-0 in the Finals of Game 7 in last years' Conference final. And earlier this season I wagered some money on the Red Wings and they won 4-2 over the Avalanche at the Pepsi Centre.

However, tonight the tide has change. Sure the Red Wings possess a 27-15-9-2 Record and are a very good home team at 15-5-5-1. Interstingly, the Avalanche EXCELL on the road as they are a sparkling 13-5-4-3 away from the Pepsi Centre with an overall record of 21-14-11-5!

Furthermore, the Avs are sizzling HOT as they have won 2 straight on the road and are now 3-0-1 in this long 6 game road trip, in which the Red Wings' game is their 5th. More importantly, the Avs are 4-0-2 in their last 6 and have only suffered 3 losses in their last 10 games. In their amazing 6 game unbeaten streak the Avs have scored 18 goals and have only conceeded 8. All while Patrick Roy posting 2 goose eggs in their 6 game unbeaten streak against the Leafs and Jackets. Comparing the two teams, the Avs are just on a roll right now while the Red Wings are just struggling to win a game or two. For instance, the Red Wings are winless in 4. And have 2 dismal ties with 2 mediocre teams (505 with Nashville, and 2-2 with the Panthers). The Red Wings are 0-2-2 in their last 4 and have only 1 win in thier last 7 games (the only win coming in Vancouver).

Colorado Avalanche ML +125

I'm backing up my PICK with a STRONG reason

What is your reason?

Do you actually think Roy will outduel Cujo?

I'll be surprised if Roy even allows more then 1 goal tonight at the Joe!

Good Luck

Ivan

SSI, I will be the first one to admit that IVAN is not on my Christmas Card list, but you are an idiot! Are you like 12 years old SSI??? Stay out of people's threads when they dont ask your opinion, and I am sure that most people wont ask your opinion. Who needs to??? You post like 7 threads a day with your picks!! I agree with Ivan tonight and I am ALL OVER Colorado. I have Colorado at the +1/2 goal, but they will win outright!!

 

An example of playersonly not staying out of threads where his opinions were not asked:

Also, SSI usually posts one thread each day.

Stop being a hypocrite.

 

[PO69]

Well he only posts one in Hockey, but you are forgetting about basketball, college and pro. Oh and I was responding to a contest that me and Ivan had going on with that thread. Kind of funny to see you respond to this thread sicne you are the KING of bashing threads without adding anything intelligent

 

I'm the king of bashing now? I rarely bash, and usually it's to Ivan who instigates it. You came into this thread and bashed. Once again, hypocrite.

OK Ivan...you were right...I was wrong...I will bow to your wondrous Avalanche pick tonight!!! All hail Ivan's correct pick

 

Cha Ching! Boo Yaa...

by the way players, i noticed how good you were doing in the nba and nhl contests.. you are too ashamed to even post your records -- as the rules state in the nba... you may be the worst picker here...

Ivan, congratulations on a good pick tonight. Looking forward to seeing your other picks, hopefully this time we are on the same side, unless you like going against me, just kidding.

SSI< as far as the hockey contest goes, well i am just having fun with it, not necc my plays for each day. I have said that many times. Heck, I am trying to pick 6 games a day just to see how I can do, I dont bet all of these games.

Now as far as the NBA goes, well I will start to put my record again next week since it starts a new month. I am not eligible for the first month or yearly prize because i didnt make 12 picks one week, that is why I didnt post my record, because it doesnt matter for the month or year contest.

 

THanks smokey
