The final game of the conference finals takes place tonight, as the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Ottawa Senators.
It’s Game 7 of this one. The Senators have stunned everyone by making it this far and they’re hoping for one more shock.
It takes place in Pittsburgh at the PPG Paints Arena. The Senators won here in Game 1 in a 2-1 overtime victory.
They played here in Game 2 and Game 5 as well. Game 2 saw the Penguins scrape a tight 1-0 victory however Game 5 saw an absolute thrashing by the Penguins as they ran out 7-0 winners.
What an interesting game this is going to be.
Penguins vs Senators Game 7:
Scott: Anderson had a huge bounce back game for the Sens in game 6 making 45 saves in the Sens 2-1 win.
Really not sure how to call this game. The safe bet would be to pick the Pens but the Sens got back to playing the defensive style that has them here.
I want the Sens to win and if you think they can and want to bet on them the odds are awesome for a Sens win.
I think this is more a game where we just sit back and enjoy a game 7 with the winner of the game going on to play the Preds for the Cup.
Graeme: I stand by pretty much what I said in Game 6.
It’s very hard to back the Senators. I’ll bet them as mathematically it’s the right choice. But I just can’t actually come out and tip them.
I don’t think there is any “smart insight” in regards to this game or anything. I think just it’s a straight mathematical decision. Even then with two losses here and a tight victory it’s tough to even bet them.
Good luck tonight with whoever you bet.
