Yeah, uh, sorry no guides on the weekend, the kids were sent away to their grandparents for the first time since...hell i can't remember. As much of a lost weekend as you can have in your early 30's with a bad back and spending an afternoon looking at model homes.
I hate my own house now BTW.
Anyway, here are your lottery standings:
| Points | Odds at #1 | |
| Buffalo | 43 | 20% |
| Edmonton | 47 | 13.5% |
| Arizona | 49 | 11.5% |
| Toronto | 57 | 9.5% |
| Carolina | 57 | 8.5% |
| Columbus | 58 | 7.5% |
| New Jersey | 66 | 6.5% |
| Dallas | 68 | 6.0% |
| Philadelphia | 69 | 5.0% |
| Colorado | 71 | 3.5% |
| Ottawa | 71 | 3.0% |
| Florida | 72 | 2.5% |
| San Jose | 72 | 2.0% |
| Los Angeles | 75 | 1.0% |
Alright! Go Leafs! Back down to 27th place and 9.5% shot at #1! Man I hope Arizona and Edmonton go on winning streaks.
Here are tonight games:
Edmonton Oilers at Detroit Red Wings
Best outcome:Edmonton over Detroit in regulation
It doesn't matter if Detroit gets a point, but I like it when they lose.
New York Islanders at Toronto Maple Leafs
Best outcome: NY over Toronto in regulation
Gotta keep those points away from the ACC, and give the Isles a 3 point lead on 1st in their division.
Anaheim Ducks at Vancouver Canucks
Best outcome: Meh. Let's say Anaheim over Vancouver in regulation.
No Lottery hits here but Anaheim getting 2 points keeps them ahead of Nashville. I also dislike the other Canadian teams, so let's give the Canucks no points and let LA take their spot.
Nashville Predators at Arizona Coyotes
Best outcome: Arizona over Nashville in regulation.
One game that affects two picks. Arizona all the way on this one.
Pittsburgh Penguins at San Jose sharks
Best outcome: San Jose over Pittsburgh in regulation
No worries for the Leafs on this one, but I want SJ to make it over Calgary and would love to see people panic i nthe hockey mecca if the Pens barely make the playoffs in a wild card spot.
Big night tonight. Got islanders! Go Coyotes!
