Red Day (-3.0 Goals) (-600)
Merry Pranksters (+3.0 Goals) (+260)
Notes: An insane situation in this one as the Pranksters still don’t have a goalie as of the time of this writing but I can’t wait any longer to release these lines. I have no idea who might be able to jump in last minute but Gelman’s been turned down by more people today than on an average Saturday night: pretty much every league goalie, plus a bunch of other goalies, plus some guys who don’t even play goalie. It’s not good. I can’t even release an over/under for this game but a spread might be possible I suppose. I’m assuming there’s going to be no goalie at least for the 1st period for Pranksters. This line is really only bettable for the sickest of the sick.
Hockey At Glatt’s (-1.5 Goals) (-230)
The Royal Sampler (+1.5 Goals) (+150)
Over 7.5 Goals (-145)
Under 7.5 Goals (EVEN)
Notes: These teams met earlier in the season and the result was a mildly surprising 6-4 win for the Sampler. However tonight they’ll have to do it again without two very important players: Pigozzi and Oskar. Glatt’s meanwhile looks to have a mostly full team. Max is out (last season’s goalie Cam will sub) but otherwise the captains group looks to be in: Everett, Glattman, Zuck and last seasons rookie of the year winner referendum participant Tony. They looked much better last week in dealing camo their first loss of the season and seem to be figuring out their defensive structure. Sources remain confused why rookie Korey Ryan showed up to the game then decided he’d rather just watch from the bench. Was it a shadow benching? Probably. But in any case it worked and against a shorthanded purple team, even with Carl back from vacation, I think they’re going to make a statement here. 6-4 Glatts.
Hockey At Glatt’s (-1.0 Goals) (-340)
Sexual Misconduct (+1.0 Goals) (+210)
Over 7.5 Goals (-145)
Under 7.5 Goals (EVEN)
Notes: A marquee league matchup unfortunately loses a bit of luster with blue still missing Chad and also missing Shane for this one. Tyler will be in goal for only his second game of the season but this is still a bit of an uphill battle for Sexual Misconduct. If they can limit chances for the Glatt’s fearsome top unit this game might end up being closer than you think. The over/under is an interesting one with Glatt’s games all featuring at least four goals per side. No bets for me (for many reasons).
Attack Of The Pie Pie (-1.5 Goals) (-200)
Show Bobs (+1.5 Goals) (+140)
Over 7.5 Goals (-145)
Under 7.5 Goals (EVEN)
Notes: Two teams badly in need of a win meet for the second time this season. In the initial meeting the teams went to OT where orange was getting the better of play, even when they were shorthanded, until a late giveaway gave Craig possibly the longest breakaway I’ve ever seen in my life. He’s out tonight, possibly resting in anticipation of a huge trade, possibly holding out for said trade, possibly has other plans but I don’t think thats the case. Pie Pie meanwhile gets Jeff Green for the first time all season and the Jefferies crew is not only looking better and more comfortable every game, but also clearly reads these writeups as I’ve been informed that I was spelling it wrong for much of the season. It’s the dawn of a new day with perfect spelling of that legendary firm and likely their first dub of the season tonight. 6-3 orange.
Double Teamed (+150)
Hootie & The Doug Fish (-230)
Over 8.5 Goals (-145)
Under 8.5 Goals (EVEN)
Notes: Final game of the night. Yellow currently has no goalie. When I asked Cam if he would sub he just sent me back a photo of himself as a centaur. So yea…going to have to figure that out. Otherwise, this should be a prime matchup between two top teams and two super high scoring teams at that. Will camo get back on the winning track? Will yellow play any defense? Will centaurs be involved? Doug does seem kind of centaur adjacent actually. Tough to handicap the game with no idea who’s playing in net for yellow but I do think they’re a live dog in this one considering they have more firepower than possibly any team in the league. But for me, as is often the case when I’m not sure what to bet, it’s the over. See ya tonight.
