Tampa made a big third period comeback yesterday and were able to get the win over the New York Rangers. It was an intense one. A deserved win for Tampa as after a very close first two periods, they just looked the much better and hungrier team in the 3rd. In terms of entertainment, hopefully […]
Well I felt like Mike Smith put up the performance I was hoping for yesterday – unfortunately it just wasn’t enough. The Oilers had a lot of chances but they just couldn’t convert and they also couldn’t ride the momentum from that early goal. That penalty to Kane seemed to kill them. Pity as we […]
There’s not too much that surprises me in hockey these days. Even the Oilers getting shut out game 2. I was able to look at my pre-series analysis, the Avs defensive metrics, and think yep there is data to support this. But goddamn did that Rangers vs Lightning one surprise me last night. Especially considering […]
Well it was a bit of a surprising result last night, as two nights on from scoring 6 goals, the Edmonton Oilers were shutout against the Avs backup goalie, Pavel Francouz. When I had looked through the metrics for the series predictions, the one thing that really stood out to me was the Avs defensive […]
Game 1 of the Lightning vs Rangers series is in the books, and it was a good one! It started off with an early goal, slowed down a bit then the Rangers just went bananas. How Tampa didn’t score at least one goal in the dying minutes I don’t know but that was an impressive […]
Well I dunno about you guys but I’d say Oilers vs Avs lived up to expectations at least in Game 1 eh? Everyone expected goals and neither team disappointed. A 14 goal thriller. Just immense and let’s hope for more games like that. No surprise the online sportsbooks have set the line for game 2 […]
Both conference finals are set. The New York Rangers had a big road victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 7, to progress to the next round where they will face the Tampa Bay Lightning. That one will kick off tomorrow and we will have a preview for it tomorrow morning. Lightning will be loving […]
Well we have one game left before we get to the conference finals. Today we see the Hurricanes host the Rangers and then tomorrow sees the beginning of the Oilers vs Avalanche series. We’ll have our thoughts on that series up tomorrow. For now let’s tackle Game 7: Rangers vs Canes Bets: Scott: I did […]
Ooof – what a sad ending that was for the St. Louis Blies. They did a great job in that game and looked like they had forced OT only for the Avs to score with 5.6 seconds left on the clock. It sets us up with the Avs vs Oilers, which could really be a […]
Well the Battle of Alberta is over. Very frustrating end to it with that Flames goal being chopped off. Oilers certainly deserved to go through but it sucks that it happened in that way. Still Flames fans can’t blame the refs. They conceded on average 5 freaking goals per game, and the only time they […]
