A hard loss yesterday with 5 goals scored in last 10 mins of the game to deny us the win. :shrug:
Lot of games today which makes the eliminations harder but have narrowed it down to 2-3 games.
I like the Under 5.5 in the Detroit - Blues game. Pronger shud be back which will pump up the team and defence should be more solid. Joseph has great numbers against Blues. Osgoode is a much better goaltender and has been hot in recent times with 2 shutouts in the past 5 games.
Am still considering if I shud make the under play in Detroit/Blues game .. History does not support the Under here but better goaltending for blues now. Will wait till game time.
Played the following:
Rangers @ Bruins Under 5.5 Goals
The under is 7-2 in the last nine meetings.
NYR's last seven overall have played under.
The under is 5-1 in BOS's last six overall.
Rangers have been playing well on the defensive end while not scoring a lot of goals.
Boston has given up 2.4 goals and scored 2.4 goals on average in last 5 games. Rangers have scored 1.6 goals and given up 1.4 goals per game in last 5
In last 5 games the Rangers Penalty Killing is at a stellar 91.7% while Boston Penalty Killing is @ 84.2
In last 5 games Rangers Power Play is scoring goals @ 5.3% while Boston is scoring @ 11.1%
After the loss to Pens where they gave up 3 goals to the Pens I expect a much better effort from the Rangers. Boston score a lot of goals @ home but hopefully that is nullified in the way these two teams play each other.
Expected Final Score: Boston 3 NY 1
* HockeyInformer has Dunham playing the game. If so that will be great. Not sure about the Boston goaltender but Shields has great numbers against NY Rangers so hopefully he plays and Raycroft sits.
Florida @ Tampa Bay Under 5 Goals *** Strong Play ***
The under is 25-12 when FLO's on one days rest.
The under is 4-1 in FLO's last five overall.
The under is 3-0-1 in TB's last four overall.
Looks like Luongo is making the start for Florida and the Bullin wall shud be in the net for TB. [Hockeyinformer.com]. I am assuming here that hopefully Luongo plays.
Last 5 games Florida has averaged 1 goal per game while allowing 2.8 goals per game.
Last 5 games TB has averaged 3 goals per game while allowing 1.6 goals per game.
A lot of shots allowed by each team in the last 5 games .. almost 30.
A look @ the goaltenders. Florida has played different defence on the road and @ home.
Luongo has played TB in TB 5 times and the result has been 2 pushes and 3 Unders. [one game was when Luongo was with Islanders - Push]
When these two goaltenders have faced each other in Tampa Bay out of 4 games THREE GAMEs have gone Under the total with One Push.
Last 3 times these two goaltenders have faced each other in Florida .. all 3 games have gone Over the Total :shrug:
The Bullin wall has excellent Numbers against Florida and he has been playing well as of late [other than the silly goal the last game out when he thought he had gloved the puck while it was @ his feet]
Expected Final Score: Tampa Bay 2 Florida 1
Good luck to all
Cheers !!!
