Friday Night Hockey 10/16/15

Apologies for the shit show yesterday. Tallying up my picks... first set of parentheses are Wednesday and the second set are last night
MONEYLINE: 33-24 (1-3) (4-4)
OVER/UNDER: 19-29-9 (3-1-0) (2-5-1)
My Over/Under picks are pretty bad, thank god I'm not actually gambling on these games (Really, I'm not!) I just don't have the time to really pour over stats and figure out how everything is going to play out. I used to have algorithms set up, but for them to be efficient, I need them to be coded on a server that'll scan the box scores and other data into formulas and sending me the results day in and day out, which I just don't have the time to set up. Anyways, here's tonight's games...

7:00PM - TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS VS COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS (REIMER vs BOBROVSKY)
The battle of two winless teams, in this case I think the worse team is Toronto even though the Blue Jackets have twice as many losses (4 to 2). In their last game against Ottawa, the top line of Saad, Johansen, and Foligno started to click and put up a few points, unfortunately, Ottawa put up 7 goals. Bobrovsky should be able to shake it off and get a win at home tonight. While they're the same Senators the Leafs took to OT (AT HOME, I should mention), not gonna happen on the road.
MONEYLINE: BLUE JACKETS O/U: 5.5 goals (OVER)

7:00PM - SAN JOSE SHARKS VS NEW JERSEY DEVILS (JONES vs SCHNEIDER)
This is easy, Jones in net, playing the Devils, might take the -1.5 spread on this one.
MONEYLINE: SHARKS O/U: 5 goals (UNDER)

7:30PM - CAROLINA HURRICANES VS DETROIT RED WINGS (WARD vs HOWARD)
Another easy one. Red Wings at home where they've won by 2 goals at every home game. The Hurricanes are terrible, chalk this one up to the Red Wings
MONEYLINE: RED WINGS O/U: 5 goals (OVER)

8:00PM - CALGARY FLAMES VS WINNIPEG JETS (RAMO vs PAVELEC)
This is more difficult to discern because the Flames are going with Ramo instead of Hiller. Ramo got lit up against the Canucks and as a result, I actually switched this pick from the Flames to the Jets.
MONEYLINE: JETS O/U: 5.5 goals (OVER)

10:00PM - COLORADO AVALANCHE VS ANAHEIM DUCKS (BERRA vs ANDERSON)
Avs are starting the backup while the Ducks go with Anderson (who won't choke away his opportunity like Khudobin did. SHAME ON YOU KHUDOBIN! You made Russian goaltenders look bad!) Boudreau is shuffling up the lines tonight and I expect good results, so I'm going with the Ducks (The Perry on the third line experiment is over! Rejoice Ducks fans!)
MONEYLINE: DUCKS O/U: 5.5 goals (OVER)

10:00PM - ST. LOUIS BLUES VS VANCOUVER CANUCKS (ALLEN vs MILLER)
I like the Blues and they've moved Jaskin up to the second line with Fabri's injury. I expect great things from that kid. Also, Jake Allen, the superior of the two goalies in St. Louis is in net, so the game should be low scoring
MONEYLINE: BLUES O/U: 5 goals (UNDER)

10:00PM - MINNESOTA WILD VS LOS ANGELES KINGS (KUEMPER vs QUICK)
The Wild have been exceptionally good thus far this season. Do the Kings win tonight... i don't know what to pick with Kuemper in net, I expect it to be a goal or two more scored tonight. Maybe Parise will score a few more goals.
MONEYLINE: WILD O/U: 5 goals (OVER)
