2006-2007 Home/Away
Toronto 21-15-5
Ottawa 23-12-6
Toronto missed last years playoff with 1 point for the surprise team Islanders. Have strengthen their goalie with the signing of Toskela, while Bell and Blake will try to take Peca and Perreault's places in the offense. Bell is by the way suspended until 6th nov. The pre season have given an average result of 3-3-2 22-30. Colaiacovo, Wellwood and Bell will not play tonight.
Ottawa lost the Stanley Cup last year for Anaheim, and are one of my favorites for the cup this year.They have had a huge pre season, with 7-0-0 and 26-15. Have done some minor adjustment since last year in the roster, but still have the a top squad, lead my super line Alfredson - Spezza - Heatley.
Emery and McAmmond are out, while Fisher are ques.
Starting goalies will probably be Toskela vs Gerber.
Toskela: 26-10-1 2,35 GAA last year
Gerber: 15-9-3 2,78 GAA last year
Ottawa are 12-4 last 16 meeting with Toronto, and 6-2 last 8 games in Toronto. 3 out of the last 6 games have covered the HC for Ottawa.
I see Ottawa as a better team both def and off and hold they as nice favorites here. I think the odds should be about lower for Ottawa -1,5 as they have shown that they are very capable of getting a 2 goals victory in Toronto. Following form and stats, I will try Ottawa -1,5 with 4/10, 3,290 @ Pinny.
