Actually, that's 3-7 with one game being a Shootout

As I mentioned in an email last time, I definitely had some kind of notion when I included that BoldItalic shootout tally on each team's line, but I'll be damned if I can recall how I intended to interpret it. (blush)

Good news is the new and improved spreadsheet doesn't specify SOs but it does make very clear the W/L record at both +/- half goal

Forwarding you a copy now

Colorado won 6 game 3's in 3/4's last season. In 5 of the 6 wins they won by more than 1 goal (ie. covered the PL). If you think the Avs will beat the Bolts tonight, worth looking at the -1.5.
