Tuesday was our worst night of the season as we went 0-4 on picks.
Leans were 6-1, however, so hopefully you agreed with some of them and were able to cash a few bets.
On to Thursday where there are 11 games in the NHL.
We’ll be involved in 4 of them and offer all our opinions and breakdowns below.
