8:35 PM EST. OT included. Yes indeed, the Blue Notes are the hottest team in the NHL and have skyrocketed themselves into a playoff spot by leapfrogging over seven teams during this unforeseen tear that they’re on. Good for the Blue Notes but let’s not get crazy here. If you bet the Blues today, there is a good chance that you’ll cash your ticket but you’ll be paying a premium to do so. Furthermore, we’re not in the prediction business. We’ll leave that to the scum running simulated games and trying to sell it. We’re in the value business and in that regard, the Stars have to be played here because St. Louis is being over-bet. We cannot overstate enough how luck-driven this sport is and that’s the reason why 12 and 13-game winning streaks happen about once every leap year. Of course, each game is independent of itself so this has nothing to do with the “due to lose” angle but everything to do with playing on a strong team at home taking back a price they shouldn’t be. We’ll now sit back and let the chips fall where they may.
