The Slapshot – Jan 4th

Big Hockey Night with no football and not much NBA out there today either.

SABRES

Thompson – Tuch – Skinner

Riding the top line on the road.  This should be a higher scoring game vs the Canadiens and I trust this line to produce more than the Habs team.  Montreal’s also a bad PK unit so the struggling Sabres PP could get going tonight with the full correlation on this top line.

RANGERS

Zibanejad – Kreider – Wheeler

The Rangers are going to pummel Bedard and the Blackhawks.  Thank you for coming to the Ted Talk.

LA KINGS

Danault – Fiala – Doughty

Some good value as the Kings shuffle their lines around here.  Detroit’s been struggling in 5v5 and the Kings are gonna be too deep.
