I still say the Pens are cooked. The only reason I didn't take the under for total points is because I won't bet against Penguins. Bet Rivers had this prop at 97.5.

From here on out nothing but black and gold glasses on this dude.

I think the culture and philosophical approach towards how they want to win is cooked. The coaching staff is cooked. The team can still be competitive.

Agreed.

Sully seems to be making changes but it’s not sticking and addressing the neutral zone is only one issue.

Everything I posted came from your article, either directly or indirectly. Moneypuck is a site dedicated to beat bookmakers, nothing more, nothing less. As I was reading your article I came upon the section “So does the model actually work?” This is where I found the term log loss. Having no mathematical education above high school I had no idea what that meant, So I clicked onto the corresponding site and it explained it in great detail. If you read that article, you will see I didn’t fabricate anything. You may find it interesting, I did.

Tonight the Pens play Buffallo. The Pens have a 55% chance to win. If my math is correct, you need odds better than -120 to make this a good bet.

Remember the old joke. What is Vegas’ response to ‘I have a system?’ Have a seat right here, young fellow.

I never should of brought up those Stanley cup odds. You're fixated on odds and beating, wins and loses. Those power rankings have nothing to do with that stuff.

Malkin off the top PP? Doubt that lasts a game even though he's having a rough stretch with turnovers.

But I'm for trying Z over Smith

- Tojo.


Yeah, might not even see it at all in a game, since also this means Sid at the point? Putting Z net front is something to try. Would be great if they could swing a trade for a better option in that spot.

The team has definitely been competitive so far.
