Watched a rerun of "Slap Shot" late last nite on Starz, damn I love that movie. "Old School Hockey"......LMFAO.
I've got enough stats, numbers, and trends supporting both NJ and Ott for tonite's game that it'll make your head spin. But as if HORNS's 5Unit Play isn't enough for you, here are a few more reasons I'm backing Ott tonite......
1) Ott 3-0 L3 trips to NJ ( 5-3, 3-0, 1-0)
2) NJ historically is a MUCH better team OTR than at home in the playoffs
3) Ott 34-15 ATS on 1 day rest
4) Ott 19-6 ATS off of a Loss
5) NJ still sucks on PP, Ott's PP hasn't shown up yet (I have faith
)
6) Ott PK has allowed 2 PPGs in 50 chances in the playoffsIncluding no PPGs allowed in L8 games
7) Redden incident
8) I keep hearing in my head Hitchcock's compliments on Ott being the team to beat after the last series (I might need some medication)
Brodeur is 6-0, with a 0.87 GAA @ home, but LaLime's no slouch, either at 4-1, 1.30 GAA OTR. The lone loss was a 1-0 shutout in Philly where Roman was literally standing on his head.
I'm leaning toward the Over4.5, but will likely just stick to the side. A few notes on the Over/Under......In 6 meetings H2H this yr, the Over is 4-2, Ott has gone Over in L4 games, and NJ has gone Over in 4 of L5 (although 3 games were OTR).
I noticed the big difference in the 1st 2 games is that the Sens couldn't generate much speed in the neutral zone last game. NJ really put the clamps on them, with the bumping and grabbing and anticipating where the puck was going next. They couldn't get as many scoring chances as in G1, and when they did, Brodeur (who was Super) was there to make the stop. I fully expect Martin to make some adjustments to correct the problem and get some more quality chances. So enough rambling, I'm going with......
Sens ML+130 x5.36
AS ALWAYS, GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!!!!!!
