Live from Sardinia.......

Before I get to Saturday Nights NHL Superplay, courtesy of Propick Hockey's resident guru, I must first release tonight's NBA winner. Earlier I released the Clippers +2 over the Knicks, strictly a bet against a lousy Knicks team coming off yet another collapse. Tonight I will stick with a similiar theme and take the Toronto Raptors -7.5 over the Nets. While I believe the Nets have some young talent, they are a team in complete disarray. Until proven otherwise, I will stay short the Nets.
Just got an earful from "Dream" who is complaining about the 50 degree temps he is suffering through off the coast of Sardinia. In addition the food and service are subpar and Mrs. Dream is complaining about the room they are staying in. I tried explaining that 50 degrees is a lot nicer than the frigid temps and soon to be blizzard that will be battering the tri-state region throughout the next two days. Dream curtly told me to shut my trap and take down his NHL Saturday Night Superplay. Tomorrow the Canadiens are visiting the Islanders and catching +120. Not only are the Canadiens a better team but the Islanders have been awful against conference road teams during the past few years. According to Propick's newly formed NHL model, the Canadiens hold an edge in the following metrics: goaltending, defense, power play, penalty killing. While the Islanders have a slightly better offense this should be negated by the Canadiens superior goaltending and defense. Dream has liked this play since earlier in the week and now that the snowstorm is headed our way, there should be about fifty people in the whole building, most of which will be vendors. Take the Canadiens +120 over the Islanders tomorrow night.
