SJ +190 (cris)

Bet the whole 'roll

Thank me later

Care to elaborate?

I am on the sharks as well (Pinnacle +184), but only because I see value in this line. The Sharks are a good team that have been under acheiving this year, but just improved themselves significantly by picking up Thornton. I look for them to put a nice run together. Only problem is they are coming off an emotional win last night against Buffalo and may come out flat. My numbers have SJ at +152 so there is nice value in this line.

Other picks I am on (all lines from Pinny)
Calgary -1.5 +192
Chicago +129
Edmonton -1.5 +178

Basically just what you said except I don't think they will come out flat at all.

They all know that they will be on Hocky Night In Canada,which is rare for a CA team, and I believe they will come out flying.

This is the same team;sans Sturm,Stuart,and Primeau + Thornton,that made it to the WCF last go 'round. They are definately underachieving this year and they know it.

I think the trade shook them up and they will go on a tear.

Schaefer should be starting in net for the Sharks too..which I for some reason see as a plus even though he's only got a few games under his belt in his NHL career.

From Hockey Informer

"Nolan Schaefer, San Jose Sharks - Schaefer is the probable starter for Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs. Nabokov is questionable for today's game after straining his groin in last night's win."

Nolan Schaefer (5-1-0, 1, 1.94)
