Nashville Predators - St. Louis Blues - NHL

We turn again our focus to the NHL: Nashville Predators (12-11-4) and St. Louis Blues (16-9-4) will meet face to face tonight. The game will start at 8:00 p.m. EST at Bridgestone Arena, and will be on FSTN, FSMW, NHL.TV.  Nashville has lost 4 of their 5 games (all in December), picking up just 3 points. That includes a 5-4 loss on December 3 to the New Jersey Devils.  They are 14th in "Goals Against" and 16th in "Penalty Kill %". Nashville Predators defenseman R. Ellis and forward C. Sissons were activated off injured reserve list on Tuesday and should return to the lineup. St. Louis is coming off a 3-1 loss Sunday in Minnesota, falling to 1-2-0 on its 4-game road trip and 2-7-0 in its past 9 away games, but they are looking to finish their recent road trip 2-2. They are 3rd in "Penalty Kill %", showing also great defense. Forward David Perron will play in his 600th game. Forward A. Steen is 3 points from 500 for his NHL career.  The official, basic Las Vegas game line is Nashville (-1.5 Goals @3.20, Money Line 1.68). With that said, I pick the "2-way Puck Line" option @BET365 (St. Louis Blues + 1.5 Goal). In order to avoid a confusion, we listed the odds in both systems: Decimal and American.

UPDATE December 14, 2016 - FINAL Result:  Nashville Predators  6-3  St. Louis Blues.  Predators, with 6 unanswered goals (highly unusual?!?!), beat the Blues in a strange night (on the 13th), when in Europe, Scotland, a football match was stopped in the 6th minute. It was the 1st time this season Nashville had come back and won when trailing after the 2nd period (1-8-0) and the 1st time they've come back from a trailing by 3 goals, especially on December 13. Shattenkirk gave the Blues a 1-0 lead, R. Reaves made it 2-0, and Hunt increased the Blues advantage to 3-0 at 1:49 of the 2nd period. Then the hosts scored 6 goals: 2 in the 2nd by Neal and Forsberg, and 4 more goals in the 3rd period. St. Louis hasn't allowed 4 goals in 1 period since November 12, when they lost from Columbus 4-8. This smells like a pure "fix" to me, to lose from a 3-0 lead in such a disgraceful manner.  Conspiracy Theorists, here are your clues: Blues took a 3-0 lead at 1:49 (1 min.,49 secs.), which makes the number '149'. Note, "NHL conspiracy"= 149 in English Kabbalah #1.  Predators forward Ryan Johansen, number (92) tied the game 3-3 at 3:04 of the third period on a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle (watch here).  Note, "NHL rigged by Black Magic" = 92 in Latin Reduction Gematria.  Now, 3:04 (3 mins. and 4 secs) makes the number '304'. Note, "NHL is a Black Magic drill" = 304  in Engl. Kabbalah #2;  Game's final score 6-3 makes the number '63'.  Note, "Sixty Three" = 53 in Latin Red. Gematria #3; But, "fixed hockey" = 53 in Latin Red. Gematria. Lastly, the Predators, for some reason, scored the 6th goal in an empty net. The logical question is why the Blues had 6 players at that time on ice, since they were trailing by 2 goals with less than 2 minutes remaining, an realistically had no chance to tie this game. This was not even a Playoff game to warrant such a risky move. It's a 'red flag'. Fisher scored the empty-net goal with 1:22 remaining. 1:22 makes the number '122'. Note, "NHL Brainwash" = 122 in English Kabbalah #3.  Nashville snapped our 4-game winning streak, but after this game, our NHL record since Nov. 17 is still great: 12-5 - 71.00% Winners.
