Since the Bruins seems like the obvious choice, I'll go with the Jets... I can never bring myself to choose against the Jets. Postma buries the winner in the shootout. ;D I'll be pleased to take that action. +195 for the Jets straight up, better than you'll get from Sports Select or the rest.... Heck I'll even pay -110 against the 1.5 goal spread! m. As a rule, I never bet on anything where I have more than a slight bias on the outcome. I absolutely will not bend the rule for this game.

Ill say Jets. I can see them not wanting to start the year slow again like last year. They have motivation to be solid on the road, they KNOW they need to be solid on the road...

what do all those plus negative numbers mean? i know they are odds ( i think) but i have no clue how you figure it out I believe the system uses a $100 base, so Boston +195 means you bet $100 to win (profit) $195. Or Jets -110 would mean that if the Jets win you profit $100 for a $110 bet. Someone more knowledgeable about betting could correct me on that if I got it wrong.

Or Jets -110 would mean that if the Jets win you profit $100 for a $110 bet. Someone more knowledgeable about betting could correct me on that if I got it wrong. You have the numbers right but it was +195 on a Winnipeg win. So you have the payout right, just the team wrong. The -110 was the line on Boston covering the 1.5 goal spread. So to make a $100 profit betting the spread you'd have to wager $110 on the Bruins and the Bruins would have to win by two or more goals. Basic rules as quoted from Wikipedia: Moneyline odds
Moneyline odds are favoured by American bookmakers. There are two possibilities, the figure quote can be either positive or negative.
Positive figures If the figure quoted is positive, the odds are quoting how much money will be won on a $100 wager (this is done if the odds are better than even). Fractional odds of 4/1 would be quoted as +400, while fractional odds of 1/4 cannot be quoted as a positive figure.
Negative figures If the figure quoted is negative, then the moneyline odds are quoting how much money must be wagered to win $100 (this is done if the odds are worse than even). Fractional odds of 1/4 would be quoted as -400, while fractional odds of 4/1 cannot be quoted as a negative figure.
Even odds Even odds are quoted as +100 or -100. Some bookmakers display the negative symbol while others do not. m.

{snip} Jets had Boston number last year. At MTS Centre. The Jets first win against the Bruins at MTS was a profitable event - a lot of us actually called that win in that GDT. The Bruins had gone through a war in Pittsburgh the night before and had to travel to Winnipeg after the game. They were ripe for the plucking. Not seeing those factors coming into play tomorrow... m.

My guess is the Jets will play for the tie and lose in a shootout. 4-3 Bruins

4-0 Boston, and Montoya makes his first appearance as a Jet - replacing Pavalec who will let in 3 softies in the 1st.

Jets win a tough game 3-2 in regulation. I think they have given their heads a shake and will come out strong.

Anything can happen boys... Flyers, rangers, are both 0 and 2. How many heads over hearts would have picked that? Jets had Boston number last year. They were 2-2
