Sunday, December 8, 2019 A.D.—30 Vegas Golden Knights -198 (Pinnacle)
7 pm EST/4 pm PST (TVA, ATTSN)—
God rest ye merry gentlemen may let nothing you dismay, remember Dink our Savior was born on Christmas Day. The last time I lost a pick in this thread—about an hour ago—I believe that Richard M. Nixon was still the US President and JK was just a tickle in his pappy’s sack. And the last pick that lost before a healthy Winning Streak was the fucking New York Rangers (14-11-3) who did me dirty on the frozen Water, upsetting the Road-hot Caps, so best beware of this NHL Pick and any perceived Hometown emotional pull for the Vegas Golden Knights (15-11-5).
But why VGK on the Lord’s Day?
Jesus of Nazareth didn’t own ice skates. It’s because the EPL and NFL schedules stink, stank, stunk and the NBA is a treacherous market laden with Bad Beats and Point Spreads that can be erased in seconds by tall men in brightly colored shorts playing no Defense making Losses from bets that should be Wins and Wins and vice versa. So until I have a Pepto-Bismol Drip, I shan't dabble in the
Needlessly
Being
Aggravated league as low-scoring Sports are where the Logic can be found and seem like the best breeding ground for “not losing.” Betting Basketball seems like being the Ping Pong ball although we should all be used it now. You know.
So in Paradise, Nevada at the sexy T-Mobile Arena on
Sunday evening, the Golden Knights will face the Broadway Blueshirts and the Home crowd should provide an edge to a Western Conference team now Confident and slowly creeping up the standings. The lackluster start may have helped VGK by awakening
them for this heart of the NHL Regular Season and the team is now really playing as a unit and just proved it can win on the Road (8-6-2 on Road).
Al Einstein and Al Bell (sort of) invented the Nuclear Bomb and the Phone and now we all have to worry about our silly Orange President tweeting on Bell’s invention so as not to get the one Einstein’s math gave us (the bomb) up the backdoor sans lubricado from the Crazy Little Man in the Jumpsuit half a globe away. They always chirp, “May you live in interesting times.” Enough “interesting.” Can we go please back to what it was before we forgot what we were doing here in the first place? It was better when we weren’t all subject of the whims of Madmen with Smartphones and egos the size of Kellyanne Conjob’s forehead.
When these two met earlier this season at MSG, Max Pacioretty (26 points), William Karlsson (17 assists), Reilly Smith (12 goals), Jonathan Marchessault and VGK skated to a 4-1 victory as Alex Tuch has 2 goals and Golden Knights backup G Malcom Subban was superb in net (29 Saves on 30 Shots). The series Trends aren’t Trends yet really with VGK just expanding into the NHL in 2017, but VGK is
4-1 lifetime vs the Rangers, averaging 3.6 gpg to NY’s 2.6 gpg with the Rangers lone Win coming in OT. There should be Goals on Sunday night.
VGK has scored 4 goals (exactly) in 4 of the 5 lifetime meetings—and have W3 4traight vs the Rangers—losing 6-4 in the first meeting ever between the two on Jan 11, 2017 at MSG. Hey, how’s a dude named “Kelly” not Irish? Perhaps our fearless leader is a Grey Alien although
I have seen him eat Human Food at
Blueberry Hill and
Sammy's Woodfired Pizza. Our boy Dink is definitely from another planet. Hockey. Horses, Wrestling, a hallowed Hamster and Hair like Howard Stern? And becasue he prefers burnt pizza over pizza-pizza, Dink may not be an Earthling. Bruce Willis obviously didn’t see that part in his character study.
One of the biggest elements of this Handicap (47.3% Art, 46.6% Science, 6.1%
Cholula®) is how good VGK has been playing of late (6-2-2 L10), despite G Marc-André Fleury missing some Starts (5?) due to Illness although
Rotowire reports it was
Personal. Anyway, a child came up to me in the Smith’s parking lot on Wednesday and asked, “Mr. Scott, how do you hit 13 straight picks?” And I said, “Junior, first of all, my last name is ‘Stott’ and not ‘Scott.’ And secondly, and most importantly, I haven’t eaten an
In-N-Out burger in well over 7 years, so my Blood is clear and clean, son. Now go bet some chalks.”
