Denver Money's NHL Monday
Coming off a tough loss yesterday with the UNDER on the Boston/Carolina game and putting last week behind us. I look to start a nice run tonight as we get closer to the Olympic games. With only 3 games on the schedule tonight I have picked out one game that I am focusing on. I will post my leans for the other two games as well. Best of luck if you fade or follow:
Buffalo @ Vancouver:
Tonight's game could go either way as we have Buffalo coming in to Vancouver to end it's 7 game road stretch. Where Vancouver is playing its last home game before heading out for a 8 game road stretch before the Olympics and 6 more after the games. Vancouvers next home game will be on March 13th. I think with this looming over the Canucks team, this could be a let down spot for them. Vancouver has been one of the hottest home teams this season going 21-7-1, whereas Buffalo continues to be one of the better road teams (14-8-2). If Buffalo can get Vancouver into the penalty box and take advantage of the shorthand opportunity we could see a big advantage to the Sabres. Buffalo has allowed only 23 power play goals to Vancouver 35 power plays goals allowed this season. Buffalo will also be looking to get their first win in over 10 years in Vancouver tonight. Buffalo will be lead by goalie Ryan Miller tonight who will also be in the net for Team USA for the Olympics. Miller this season is 27-10-5 with 5 shutouts. When in the net as a dog Miller is 9-4-1 with a save percentage of .927 this season. Despite the Sabres losing 3 straight including a 5-2 loss to San Jose on 1/23 they have continued to play good hockey. For the Canucks tonight, we should see Roberto Luongo in the net. Luongo this season is 27-14-2 with a save % of .921 with a GAA of 2.27 and 3 shutouts. I look for both teams to give it their best tonight as the Canucks want one more victory before the long road stretch and the Sabres want another road victory before returning home.
2* Buffalo @ Vancouver OVER 5.5 +110
2* Buffalo Sabres +115

SPORTS WAGERS
New Orleans +1.30 over PORTLAND
Whether you like them or not, you really have to admire the efforts and determination of this Blazers squad. They are the walking wounded and extremely undermanned yet they’re still managing to play hard and win games. In fact, they’ve won four of its last six with two of those wins coming on the road. The Blazers will return home tonight after a four-game trip and one has to figure that after playing their hearts out every game of every quarter they could be extremely flat tonight. Even at their best tonight they’re still going to have a tough time pulling this one out with all the injuries they have. When the Hornets show up they’re very tough, as recent wins in Ok City, Utah and Memphis will attest to. The Hornets are loaded with shooters and it’s going to be very difficult for this host to keep pace after all they’ve been through over the past few weeks. This is a great spot for the visitor to steal one on the road and there’s no reason why they can’t do exactly that. Play: New Orleans +1.30 (Risking 2 units).
Indiana +1.62 over PHILADELPHIA
When +1.62 is offered against the 76ers on anyone not named New Jersey you’re getting some great value and this one is no exception. The good news is that the 76ers went into Indian on Saturday as a 3½-point pooch and beat them outright so the chances of the 76ers beating the same team twice in succession is not so good. The Pacers are very capable of beating this team and frankly, they should be able to. Man for man, the Pacers are the superior squad in every way except for perhaps defense but it’s not like the 76ers are some defensive juggernaut either. The Pacers have more options, they should win the battle of the boards and its bench is deeper as well. So, yeah, of course the 76ers can win here but they can lose just as easily and with a take-back like this offered in what is a 50/50 proposition, the play has to be the guest. Play: Indiana +1.62 (Risking 2 units).
MIAMI –1 over Cleveland
One has to figure the Heat to show up big time here in what should feature a rare big crowd in Miami. When the Heat show up they can beat anyone and with the whole country watching LeBron against D-Wade, you know for sure D-Wade will give it his all tonight. LeBron always gives it his all but damn this Heat team is so dangerous that they have to be considered one of the biggest underachievers of the year. Miami is just 23-20 overall and just 13-10 at home but they really have a chance to at least put the Cav’s on notice that they’re not going to roll over come playoff time. Miami is warming up with three wins in its last four and all three wins have been by 24 points or more. The Cav’s are still without Delonte West and Mo Williams, two key components that run the offense, especially West. Miami needs to make a stand at some point in the season and you can just see them heating up at the moment leading up to this one. With all that talent and not much in terms of results, expect the Heat to play its best game of the year. Play: Miami –1 (Risking 2.04 units to win 2).
MEMPHIS +1.06 over Orlando
Great spot for the Grizz to beat one of the league’s elite, as there’s a very good chance the Magic will not be very interested here. You see, the Magic are coming off three wins in a row capped by an OT win over the Cats on Saturday. The kicker here is that the Magic will take to the road for this one game and will return home to play the Celtics and Atlanta in what has to be considered two of its biggest games of the season. The Grizzlies love to play and they play hard. They’ve been one of the Association’s best teams over the past six weeks with 13 wins over its past 17 games. The Grizzlies are rested and should be raring to go and they really couldn’t have asked for a better time to face the Magic in terms of Orlando’s scheduling. Play: Memphis +1.06 (Risking 2 units).
Saint Joseph’s –5½ over PENNSYLVANIA
Talk about a fall from grace – Pennsylvania has gone from king of the Ivy League to doormat at a troubling pace, sitting at 1-12 on the season with its only win over Maryland Baltimore County. Their offense and defense are obviously atrocious and the with them wrapping up Big Five play tonight it is hard to see how they are going to find any motivation to win tonight’s tilt. Big Five play pits Pennsylvania against the other Philadelphia schools and the results so far have been awful. A 15-point loss to Temple and a 19-point loss to La Salle both at home tells me this team is nowhere close to competing against mid-major schools. Saint Joseph’s is easily the weakest of the Big Five teams but has just come off a very impressive win against Dayton and has two non-conference games they absolutely must win if they are going to have any shot at the NIT. While that goal is probably unattainable, it’s up to the coaching staff to sell it to the players and Phil Martelli is a guy you can count on to do so. Talent wise, these teams aren’t at the same level but as the past couple of weeks have shown talent alone doesn’t win games. The motivation for Saint Joseph’s to get this win tonight is as high as its going to be, especially coming off a big win while Pennsylvania will simply have to play out the string the rest of the season. Play: Saint Joseph’s –5½ (Risking 2.02 units to win 2).
