Ducks held on for the under yesterday :) after the isles made showed how not to play defence for the guys who have taken the Under.

Lots and lots of games today but only one which I will attempt to play:

Atlanta @ NY Rangers Under 6 Goals

Takes 7 goals to beat us and take our money away. Rangers know they gonna have to beat Atlanta for the playoff's spot. The next game is against Isles and so this game becomes really really important. The way they won in boston was by playing defence and biding their time for good scoring opportunities. I hope these jokers play the same way.

Nurminen has good numbers against the Rangers. Not so with Dunham but his numbers against Atlanta are better @ home than on the road. Lots of shots will be taken in this one but hopefully not a lot of them will reach the net :)

Atlanta has been playing well winning 4 of last 5 [i think] and Nurminen has been great in the goal. Same with Dunham. Hopefully the penalty killing unit is working very well for both teams today as it has been in last 5 games. Last 5 games the Penalty killing is at 90.9% for both teams.

Atlanta has averaged 2.8 goals per game while giving up 2.4 goals in the last 5 games
Rangers have averaged 2.0 goals per game while giving up 1.0 goals in the last 5 games


The under is 4-2 in ATL's last six on the road.
The over is 6-2-1 in the past nine meetings.
NYR's last eight overall have played under.


I think this one goes under the total of 6.
Expected final score: Atlanta 3 Rangers 2

Also playing:


Pens and Philly Under 5 Goals.


Mario will be back but how effective will he be ? Pens shud be more better with return of the captain on both ends but Philly defence has been solid.

The defence has been solid in last 5 games for both teams.
Philly scoring 2.4 goals and giving up 1.4
Pens scoring 1.4 goals and giving up 1.4

Penalty kill has been @ around 94% for both teams in last 5.
PP has been @ 5% and 16% for Pens and Philly respectively.

Hedberg has decent outings against Philly. Checkmanek has been solid against the Pens

Expected final score: Philly 3 Pens 1

Good luck
Cheers !!!

Unreal ... 4 goals in third Q and 1 in OT .. by Atlanta and Rangers.

And Pens are just plain horrible. They are making Philly look like Vancouver in the East.

ND: hard to get a read on the useless play of these jokers.

Atlanta: goal with 10 seconds left in 1'st period
Atlanta: goal 18 seconds into the second period
Rangers: goal 1:05 into the third period
Rangers: goal 2:53 into the third period
Atlanta: goal and then Rangers goal FIFTY ONE [51] seconds later.
Atlanta: GOAL in OT on POWERPLAY

all i can say is OUCH.

Philly and Pens no comments.

Cheers and good luck
