NHL Picks

Montreal @ Tampa (-135)

Montreal is 3-0, they've started their season off 4-0 just 3 times in their history and won a cup all three of those times. For the sake of the universe not imploding, Montreal has to lose tonight. If Montreal ever wins another Stanley Cup it will be hell on earth. The last time these two clubs played the Habs swept the Bolts in the first round. However, 3 of those games were won by just 1 goal and Tampa's starting goalie, Bishop, was hurt. It is the consensus here at DP that NHL super star Steven Stamkos is more than due. We expect Stamkos to light the lamp multiple times tonight. Tampa rolls at home and puts a quick end to those stupid Montreal fans talking about how they are going to win the Cup because they won 4 games. 

Ottawa @ Florida UNDER 5.5 (-115)

This game features as many weapons as a PETA convention. Neither of these teams has any world class scoring talent. Spezza on Ottawa was a force to be reckon with in his hay day.. Ten years ago. Florida has somehow managed to find a way to be horrible year after year and not draft anyone remotely exciting. That's an accomplishment. Taking the under in this one.
