A big surprise last night as the Habs absolutely rocked the Hurricanes.
Habs have been huge on the road in the playoffs and it continued last night. Was it just momentum and the Hurricanes rusty?
Will be interesting seeing Game 2. I am in Montreal right now and the bar was INSANE. Such a fun experience.
Let’s get on with todays tips
Scott: Lots of defensive errors cost the Avalanche in game 1 which was expected with Makar sidelined. Hart was great in goal for the Knights too.
The Avalanche lost their first home game of these playoffs which should wake them up. They can’t lose both in Colorado and go to Vegas down 2-0.
Avalanche win in regulation
Graeme: In a rush as gotta pop off to F1 based on metrics I’d say Kadri at least a point. And yesterday was sick got to check out the pit lanes, got driven around the track. And it was all free beers. Wonderful time.
I’m expecting a big performance by Colorado so I took the OVER # of saves by Carter Hart, since Colorado has a high # of shots regardless of the goal count.
