It took double overtime, however the Dallas Stars were able to get the massive win over the Tampa Bay Lightning and keep their Stanley Cup hopes alive.
It’s also a massive momentum shift as not only did they win, but Stamkos is announced a being out for the rest of the finals.
It makes for an interesting game going into it tonight. Are we going to get that epic Game 7?
Our series bet is of course Lightning -1.5. While we obviously want to win that which means Tampa have to win tonight – if the consolation prize is a Game 7 then hey that’s not too bad.
Here are our thoughts:
Lightning vs Stars Game 6 Betting Tips:
Graeme: In terms of who wins – man, I think the formula is there for Tampa. I backed them in Game 2 as they had never lost 2 in a row in the playoffs and they continued that impressive run. I don’t know if I could hang my hat on that here though.
Just in terms of how tight the series has been results wise, Stars certainly have value.
I’m going to wuss out and go with the over. Over 5 goals hasn’t lost yet. Both teams should be good for a couple of goals as they have shown in the playoffs so far.
Over 5 incl OT
Scott: Another great game. This one needed double overtime to be completed and it was Corey Perry who not only opened the scoring in this game but won it for the Stars too. He was crucial and it was nice to see him playing so well. He took 9 shots in this game. Pavelski scored the other goal for the Stars. Nothing like seeing the “oldtimers” showing the kids how it’s done.
The Stars are still alive and I think both teams will appreciate the day without a game after playing back to back games and both games needed overtime.
With both teams rested, well as rested as you can be in a Stanley Cup Final, they will be flying in this game. Ill go with the Over again.
Over 5 incl OT
