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 phenomenal series. Really looking forward to that one.
We have one more series still to wrap up which is the Rangers vs Hurricanes. Canes lead 3-2 and can wrap it up tonight. I believe Game 1 in the Oilers vs Avalanche series is Tuesday, May 31st.
Canes vs Rangers Bets:
Scott: Well to no surprise, the home team won again. Each game in this series has been won by the home side.
I picked the Rangers to win the series and for that to happen they need to continue the trend and win at home tonight. But from there they will need to find a way to win one on the road.
They had only 17 shots in game 5 so the Rangers will have to do better than that to make Raanta work harder for a win. The Rangers have been in a similar situation during this postseason when they were down 3-1 to the Penguins but won the series in 7 games.
Rangers win incl OT
Graeme: Yeah I mean there’s not really much to write. It always feels weird. Often I dive into the advanced metrics and really break a game down etc.
Other times – you just can’t overthink it. Canes are struggling on the road to put it lightly. Yet it’s pretty much coinflip odds so solid value on Rangers.
Gotta go with Rangers in OT here as well.
Full game UNDER 6.0
Not impressed with either the Rangers or Canes in how the home/away win split is so consistent, because that’s not going to work against Tampa. Also, taking this series to Game 7 is going to hurt the winner, who won’t have critical rest and adjustment time before facing Tampa.
Tuesday it is. Looking forward to some Full Game OVER bets with Oilers vs Avs, possibly OVER 8. Lets find out how high the bookies will go on that, it won’t be enough. Both teams are going berserk on offense and don’t have much in the way of defense. Could be records set in that series.
