[talking sports picks]

Tonight I like a home favourite in the NHL taking Colorado over Edmonton
Colorado has played well at home over Edmonton 21-12-2 the past ten years.
Colorado clobbered Edmonton 7-3 Novmber 30th in Edmonton but actually
lost to the Oilers 2-1 in Denver in their other meeting
However Colorado is rested and on a roll having won their past two games
And in those two played on home ice outscoring the opp. 9-3.
Colorados offense has really come around and they will be waiting on
An Edmonton team that played just last night..winning 3-1 over Minnesota
But the Oilers have had a crazy schedule. They played three straight road
games , flew home to Edmonton for last nights game with the Wild then had
to grab their luggage and fly to Denver for tonights game. It is a schedule blip
That every once in a while bites a Western team and normally it ends in a loss.

Clinching stat: Tonights game will be Edmontons FIFTH in 7 nights!!!
I am playing on a rested streaking Colorado Avalanche over a injury-ridden and likelyweary Edmonton Oiler team!
