Friday

Florida was a somewhat unlucky loser in overtime last night away to Tampa.  We’re 0-2 to start the year.  Our leans went 1-1 as Winnipeg won easily, Phoenix might be bottom 5 bad this season especially with a Western Conference schedule, and Dallas lost in a shootout.  Single game tonight, Islanders at Carolina.  The Islanders should be better this season.  The best case is they mimic Columbus’s season from last year.  Carolina will be solidly below average.  This combines to make a fantastically accurate line for tonight’s game, but with the public so heavy on New York this is a lean if not a micro-play.  Carolina +105
