Chicago at Tampa tonight. Chicago of course gets a ton of respect because they won the cup last year
. But how can tampa be +170 when comparing lineups ? all of the tampa stars are playing on home ice and Chicago is sitting many regulars. No way in hell should Chicago be almost a 2-1 favorite in a preseason away game with these lineups.

For the Penguins/Red Wings game tonight a bit of info. I'm a Penguins season ticket holder, I haven't missed a home game in 3 years and I read absolutely everything about this team. When it comes to betting them I don't have my blinders on thats for sure - I bet montreal in game 7 against them last year for one. I think there is a TON of value in tonights preseason game against Detroit. For one, this is the first preseason game at the pens new arena so they will play in front of 18,000. The penguins are playing their stars - Malkin, Crosby and best defensive pairing with Orpik/Michalek. The pens also have some huge battles in camp to play on this roster with Tangradi the pens top prospect trying to make the team in a top 6 role to play alongside Malkin and Tyler Kennedy who has been a regular for years is on the outs and is said to be battling to keep his spot. Additionally, MAF the pens starter will be in goal where as for Detroit Howard their starter hasn't made the trip. For Detroit, their D is mostly AHL/6th D guys, except for Ericksson and Stuart and Detroit hasn't dressed any of their stars Lindstrom, Datsyuk and Zetterberg are all out. I think betting the pens -1/2 a goal in regulation +105 is a pretty solid bet

Tipton, have you been betting NHL preseason for some time or is this your first season?
tonight's plays:
Florida -115 - best bet
NJ Devils -130
Leafs +210 (small)
Boston@Florida
This game is being played in Rochester. Boston just played last night so for some reason they are playing back to back games. Florida has been here for a few days waiting and they are going with a veteran lineup tonight where as the bruins have mostly AHL players battling for jobs with a couple vets that are good. The lineup florida has announced is much better. Bruins start backup goal
The top line of Stephen Weiss, David Booth and Michael Frolik will make its exhibition debut, as will starting goalie Tomas Vokoun and rookie goalie Tyler Plante.
The Rochester fans are floridas AHL affiliate and on paper florida has a much better lineup playing tonight, they are playing all their best players and a veteran lineup where as boston has many AHLers and rookies playing. Bet florida for sure.
Florida
Booth-Weiss-Frolik
Higgins-Reinprecht-Stillman
McArdle-Reasoner-Bitz
Peters-Foster-Thomas
McCabe-Kulikov
Allen-Gudbranson
Ellerby-Wideman
Vokoun; Plante
Bruins
Lucic - Krejci - Marchand
Knight - Hamill - Thornton
LoVecchio - Colborne - Ryder
MacDermid - Arniel - MacDonald
Chara - McIver
Stuart - Kampfer
Penner - Ference
Schaefer
Rask
Devils @ Rangers
The devils are a much much stronger team to begin with, and the lineup they are playing tonight includes their best players. The rangers are not playing Lunquivist in net where as the devils are playing Brodeur as well and all the stars Kovulchuk, Parise, etc. play the devils. Hell -1/2 at +140 seems good to me.

Leafs@ Flyers
This game is being played in London, Ontario. Both teams are dressing a bad lineup, but there is no way that philly should be such a huge favorite. Leafs are playing their starting goalie and best defenseman. Flyers arent playing Richards or pronger

Guerin-xxx-xxx
Testwuide-Holmstrom-xxx
Rowe-Kalinski-Moore
the leafs lineup is bad, but so is the flyers . The game is being played in front of an all leafs crowd and being broadcast on Leafs TV in canada. At +210 given that both lineups are bad the leafs are worth a small play.
Carolina +158
http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=821595
preds are playing a ton of young guys and Carolina is playing their entire top 2 lines amongst other things.

the lightning just played last night. They are sitting Stamkos, Lacavelier, St Louis, and Gagne their 4 top players. Oilers are playing far more regulars, even if they were the worst team last year they are at home playing a tampa lineup whos only offensive players are Malone and downie playing in the lineup. Oilers have their best offensive players playing and #1 draft pick Taylor Hall is playing. They are at home in Edmonton and there is a ton of buzz since its the #1 picks first game.
Playing at home -115 you have to bet the oilers in this spot with tampas lineup.
Detroit....huge mismatch big play
Columbus
St louis
Dallas
may have a play on this shark game late tonight. the anaheim lineup is nowhere to be found. the sharks are playing the majority of their star players and the starting goalie is playing the entire game which is pretty rare in the preseason. it all comes down to ryan and selanne are out for the ducks i know that, but can't find any other lineup info. its supossed to be posted during the pregame skate.
STRONG:
NJ Devils
Boston Bruins
Buffalo Sabres
Chicago Blackhawks
Smaller:
Minnesota Wild
Ottawa Senators
the pens are playing a much better lineup tonight but there is a ton of juice to lay so not playing it, the game is closer than the lines currently available in my opinion. may play Vancouver late as they are playing most of their stars and luango is in net for the full game. want to see that anaheim lineup for sure though and can't find it yet.
Boston -125
NJ Devils -105
buffalo +105
blackhawks +100
senators +125
moneyline
wild +110
