*Tourigny Jack Adams*. Wrote this August 11, pumped it up all preseason and want to track something (no I don't think they hit 120, this just won't register as a win and mess things up) Would still play a reduced risk as of todays 60/1 . https://www.actionnetwork.com/nhl/2024-nhl-future-odds-jack-adams-rocket-richard-winner

(Price available on FanDuel 10:36 Jan 8). Can't play on FD in Alberta, would recommend 1 unit, but also going to assume this is moving down significantly once action comes in so I'll track small. Get it if you can.

FanDuel 12:54 Feb 7. Games played will be the key factor here and why this might be a bad look. If he plays 21 of VGKs final 31 that would be 40 games played, and if he stays on top in GAA save % and GSAx by a margin it might be enough if Hellebuyck were to falter at all (Demko winning is still best case).

Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Live bet the Capitals while down 3-2 to Vegas after two strong periods in what was their Cup-clinching win. This was my best moment as a hockey fan, but also a good example of the live betting situations that make the NHL so unique.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Any player prop that has lost due to a scorekeeper error.
