Eddie the Eagle brought home the Under for us . yes yes .. Fernandez .. ya did a good job also 
Going with :
Flyers @ TB Lightning Under 5 Goals *** Strong Play ***
PHI is second on defense allowing 2.03 gls/gm.
The under is 12-5 with PHI on two days' rest.
The under is 50-25 in PHI's games this season.
The under is 7-2 in the past nine meetings.
The under is 6-0-1 in TB's last eight overall.
TB is allowing 1.4 gls/gm in last five overall
I think the stats above mostly point to an under right .. Philly does have motivation to paly strong but TB wanna go into playoff's on a high note .. they will NOT let up and the Bullin wall will stone Philly ..
Last 5 games TB Power Play has been excellent at around 24% .. but in the same stretch Philly Penalty Killing is @ 100%. Meanwhile Philly PP is scoring @ 8.3% while TB Penalty Killing is at around 86% ..
TB does allow a lot of shots on goal .. but the quality of those shots has not been great and the Bullin wall has been steady.
Philly will have their usually defensive hockey going and I dont think TB can get 30 shots on Philly.
All 3 meetings this season betn these two teams have gone Under the total.
Lots of other angles but not gonna put them down.
Khabibulin is 1-9 against the Flyers and I am sure he wanna improve on that.
Expected Final Score: Philly 2 TB 2
Colorado @ Ducks Under 5 Goals *** Strong Play ***
The under is 4-1-3 in the past eight meetings.
ANA is 5-1 ATS in the past six meetings.
The under is 23-11 in ANA's home games.
This game I like a lot. Ducks have been playing impressive hockey and even though they lost to Dallas the other day giving up 2 goals in the third period they played solid hockey. At home this team plays great defence ..
Colorado got ass whipped by LA with Roy allowing 2 goals on 3 shots in the 3'rd period to LA .. I am sure he will wanna rebound back nicely.
In the last meeting in Colorado Roy gave up 5 goals to Ducks. [Of course Avs play horrible @ home]. In 4 games prior to that Roy had allowed a combined total of 3 goals to the Ducks. I am sure he remembers the last game and will definitely play better than in LA.
Giguere has been playing solid. He will hold the fort for the Ducks.
In last 5 games Avs have given up 1.8 goals per game while Ducks have been even stingier giving up only 1.2 goals per game.
Offensively in the last 5 games Avs are averaging 3.4 goals per game while Ducks are scoring 2.8 goals per game. Looks like good numbers right.
Looking @ who Avs scored on in the last 5 games
3 Vs Kings
3 Vs Sharks
6 Vs Phoenix
3 Vs Kings
2 Vs Ottowa
Only team with good goaltender is Ottowa and they scored 2. Hmm ..
Meanwhile Ducks in last 5 have scored
1 Vs Dallas
2 Vs Nashville
3 Vs Vancouver
5 Vs Columbus
3 Vs Sharks
I am sure Roy and Gigure will get us the under today.
Expected Final Score: Ducks 2 Avs 1
Carolina @ Florida Under 5 Goals *** Strong Play ***
The under is 16-3 in FLA's last 19 overall.
In the last 5 games:
Caroline are scoring 1.4 goals per game
Florida is scoring 0.80 goals per game
Caroline are allowing 3.6 goals per game
Florida is allowing 2.8 goals per game
Florida is in a scoring funk. Have scored more than 2 goals once in last 19 games. They have been playing well defensively
Luongo has good numbers against Caorlina allowing
2 goals to Carolina in the last 2 Florida home games.
Weekes has held Florida to 2 goals or less in last 3 games against them.
In last 5 games Carolina is allowing 21 shots on goal while Florida is allowing 32 goals.
Carolina Power Play has been horrible. Florida has been hitting PP at 19% .. Penalty killing is nothing spectacular for both teams but hopefully less penalties and no PP goals today.
Expected Final Score: Carolina 3 Florida 1
Regarding:
NJ Devils @ NY Rangers Under 5 Goals
Price is attractive but i am afraid of what Rangers will do here.
If game is tied @ end of game or in OT they may pull their goaltender.
Of course the tie may be 1-1 which is ok for the Under. 2 - 2 and another goal will result in a Push [ unless there are 2 empty netters].
Which Rangers team will show up is the Qs. I think final score will be something like 3 - 1 .. but not so sure of this game.
Good luck and Cheers !!!
