Rough week. Thought about taking Friday and Saturday off and waiting till Sunday, but I have to make this play:

Dallas Stars -1/2, laying $363 to win $300 in regulation

Reasoning:

Marty Turco is 10-0-1 lifetime vs. Chicago and the Hawks are playing their backup goaltender Brian Boucher tonight. The Blackhawks are certainly playing much better this year offensively, but their goaltenders are still struggling and they have caught some teams in favorable spots and played a weaker schedule than Dallas has so far. Chicago caught Nashville twice early before the Preds got their act togather and caught Montreal on the back end of a back to back after an emotional home win vs Calgary the night before. Chicago also played Columbus, Colorado and St. louis and none of those teams are world-beaters this year, while Dallas has played a much tougher schedule and has only played one Home game so far.

Week 8: 0-4, -$603
Week 7: 5-2: +$636
Week 6: 5-1, +$750
Week 5: 4-4, +$681
Week 4: 3-6, +$110
Week 3: 3-3, -$575
Week 2: 5-3, +$306 (did win $509 on the Mansion free bet & hedge)
Week 1: 5-1, +$913
