Huge 12 game slate tonight.  Where do we focus with all the choices?  Home teams, weak defenses, and travel concerns will definitely lead the process.  Time to grip it and rip it!

NHL Advice – Matchups and Focal Points

I don’t dive deep into numbers in articles or videos.  My goal is to lead you into your own deeper dives.  Inside our VIP channels, we get snippets like this…

CGY vs BOS – Calgary’s top line has dropped 9 goals in 10 games, their 2nd line has dropped 5 of their own.  But, they also both allow goals (5 against the top line and 4 against the 2nd line).  This game is ripe for some boomsticks.  All skaters are on deck here.  For CGY, I’ll have exposure to Bergeron, DeBrusk, and Spooner for sure.  And, for Calgary, I’ll want big pieces of Monahan, Gaudreau, Giordano, Hamilton, Backlund and Tkatchuk.  My first #StackSlam is standard, if you can afford it, Monahan/Gaudreau/Hamilton.

OTT vs PIT – Dudes, I’m telling you the Pens will be chalky.  Ottawa has not been good defensively (although not the worst on tonight’s radar), and the Pens have been pretty hot.  Both lines are scoring in bunches.  Pair that with the big names of Crosby and Malkin and you have a red hot chalk warning.  I love Malkin tonight, though, and won’t hesitate to #MiniStack him with linemate Hagelin, for a Malkin/Hagelin pair.  Bryan Rust should be the chalk being on the top line with Crosby.  Letang is a bit overpriced for me, so I’m limiting exposure to those I mentioned.  I’m fading Ottawa skaters (which likely makes them very GPP viable).

LAK vs CAR – The Kings have been seemingly on the road a lot lately, and we’ve been focusing on Kopitar, Muzzin, Doughty, Brown, and Iafallo with some success.  However, with 12 games from which to choose, I think I’m likely fading the whole thing off.  I can’t see a reason I’d be grabbing Aho, Teravainen, or the second line of Staal or Lindholm, either.  Hard pass tonight.

New VIPs Rock the GPPs!

So, as we sweated this victory out together, AS AN ARMY, last night in Slack I asked “smackptb” if he would share some thoughts on assembling this gem.  His answer surprised even me because I didn’t think he leaned as heavily on my Value Stacks and Breakdown articles…

 

I keep telling people the content is great, but the Slack conversations put him on the winning play, James Neal.

 

NHL DFS Winning Tips – Dealing with Variance Once and For All

ANA vs DET – Detroit has exploded lately for quite a few goals.  Be my guest to board that train, but again, with 12 games, I’m not jumping on.  I feel like Wyle E. Coyote in that when I jump for an already moving train, the Roadrunner detaches a car on me and I still go over the cliff with it.  The Anaheim top line, however, is Jerry Lee Lewis “Great Balls of Fire.”  Another great #MiniStack for all occasions has been Perry/Rakell, or you can attempt to #SlamStack them with Perry/Rakell/Getzlaf.  I’m not super high on them on the road, but there are way worse ways to go tonight.  It wouldn’t shock me in the least to see them pay off, especially if bone-headed Bertuzzi takes another major so ANA can also score 4 pp goals in 5 mins.  I mean, wtf was that?!!  I told my boys in Slack that I’d cut him, deactivate his room key, and give him the bill for my hotel porn I racked up on his account.  That shit was just inexcusable.

CHI vs VGK – CHALK ALERT!!!  Chicago got drilled last night by Arizona.  That’s about as embarrassing as dropping the soap in a communal shower.  Will Chicago respond?  Maybe, but maybe not.  They are on their own road b2b and playing 3 games in 4 nights.  VGK1 is scoring again and VGK2 is cooling off, but both are in play.  #StackSlam them…. Smith/Karlsson/Marchessault or Haula/Perron/Neal.  Just don’t use defensemen with them.  They aren’t much of a factor offensively.  I will, however, mention perhaps my highest risk, highest reward GPP #StackSlam of the night…..Toewes/Duclair/DeBrincat.  This combo isn’t listed as together on a line, but they do have 6 goals in 10 games as a line combo.  No one will be playing Chicago, and no one will see this combo……even though it’s your best shot.  Perfect for GPPs….but don’t expect much from it, honestly.
