05-16-24 | Rangers +144 v. Hurricanes | Top | 5-3 | Win | 144 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
While the Rangers won the first three games of this series, they’ve fallen off a tad over these last couple of games. It’s now a 3-2 series and the Hurricanes are knocking on the door step. Having said that, just four teams in NHL history have ever came back from down 3-0. I don’t think we’re going to see a fifth. Yes, the Rangers have been out shot in every game so far. Yes, Carolina is at home. But, the Rangers have the best goalie in the league right now in Igor Shesterkin. He’s been lights out in these playoffs and I don’t see him having another poor performance. The Rangers have been tremendous all year long and should continue their march to the Stanley Cup here today. Brett Pesce is still expected to miss this game and I believe that the offensive fire power that the Rangers own will be too much for the Canes to handle. They’ve done well so far since the defenseman went down, but look for NYR to cause some threatening attacks. At + money once again, hammer the Rangers to close out the series. Score Prediction: 4-2 Rangers | |||||||
05-09-24 | Avalanche v. Stars -125 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 33 h 6 m | Show | |
Game 1 was electric. Colorado completed the comeback on the road after being down three goals to nothing after the 1st period. Normally I wouldn’t lean towards the team that just had a collapse like that. However, in the playoffs each game is so different. Dallas miraculously came back from down 2-0 after losing both games at home in their opening series against Vegas. They do not want to be in that situation again. Yes, they’ve proved that they can do it. But to do it twice would be extremely difficult, making this a “must-win” for Dallas. Don’t get me wrong, Colorado is a good hockey team. But, I believe that Dallas is slightly better all around. At home in Game 2, let’s go Stars. Score Prediction: 4-2 Dallas | |||||||
05-07-24 | Hurricanes v. Rangers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -120 | 16 h 5 m | Show |
This play is on the UNDER between Carolina/NYR. Game 1 between these two teams featured a 4-3 Rangers win. Yes, it was high scoring and both teams are very good offensively. However, I believe that both goaltenders are top tier and should be able to have strong performances here in Game 2. Igor Shesterkin was lights out in the opening round allowing just 7 goals in 4 games. On the other hand, Frederik Anderson allowed just 12 in 5 games. Both teams are great defensively and were in the Top 10 of goals allowed per game during this season. I expect a lower scoring Game 2 here tonight on Tuesday. Score Prediction: 3-1 Rangers | |||||||
05-05-24 | Golden Knights v. Stars -145 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 32 h 37 m | Show |
After winning with Vegas as a "free-play" in Game 6, I'm back with the Stars in Game 7. I believed that the Golden Knights simply wouldn't loss all three games in this series at home. Today, I don't see Dallas losing three out of four at home themselves. They are too resilient and strong of a team to be losing at home like this. Over the regular season, they were dominant on this ice. Vegas, on the other hand, kind of struggled on the road (just 20-18-6.) Looking at this matchup further, Vegas just isn't as good as last season. They dealt with injuries all season long and are just coming all together now. Yes, they are a lot healthier now, but I believe that they aren't as familiar as they should be with one another. They lost three consecutive road games entering these playoffs as well. Dallas entered the playoffs red hot. Don't expect them to be first round exits. Play on Dallas in Game 7. Score Prediction: 3-1 Stars. | |||||||
05-04-24 | Maple Leafs v. Bruins -136 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 48 m | Show | |
Everything is on the line on Saturday evening. Toronto and Boston have been going back and forth all series long and we've arrived at Game 7. Boston has been playing well defensively over the past few games, but have failed to produce anything offensively. That is why we are here. Having said that, I believe that being at home in this Game 7 is going to be crucial. Boston is 25-12-7 at home this season and are hoping for a rematch against the Florida Panthers in the next round from last year. ESPN posted that in the history of NHL/MLB/NBA, no team has ever blown 3-1 series leads in consecutive seasons. I don't see it happening on Saturday night either. Give me the Boston Bruins in Game 7 at home. Score Prediction: 3-1 Boston. | |||||||
05-03-24 | Canucks +112 v. Predators | 1-0 | Win | 112 | 18 h 56 m | Show | |
I had the Vancouver Canucks in both Game 1 as well as Game 5. Although I lost in Game 5, the Canucks had chances to win that game as well. Having said that, I believe that the Canucks will be ready for Game 6. As I've said in previous writeup's, the "close-out" game is always the hardest. So close, but yet another win is all it takes. Vancouver comes in having won seven of the past nine games between these two teams. They are also an awesome 7-3 in their last ten road games against all teams. Looking at Nashville, they've actually been worse at home than they have been on the road. I expect that to play a big part here. Vancouver is the stronger team and look for them to get the job done tonight. Score Prediction: 3-1 Canucks. | |||||||
05-01-24 | Kings +1.5 v. Oilers | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
While the Kings lost Game 4 by a whisker, they'll be trying to avoid elimination here on Wednesday. I believe that they have what it takes to even come back and win this series, yet alone win just a game. They've been an excellent team all season long and Edmonton didn't really finish the season all that strong. Even though the Oilers have dominated the Kings in the past, this "must-win" game situation should be enough motivation for the Kings to at least keep this game close. The "close-out" game is always the hardest for the team that's in front, so expect a close game in Edmonton on Wednesday evening. Score Prediction: 3-2 Kings. | |||||||
04-30-24 | Predators v. Canucks -122 | 2-1 | Loss | -122 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
After coming back from down 3-1 with less than three minutes to go in Game 4, I believe that the Canucks should have all of the momentum coming into this game. They are hungry and excited to come back home and this series is pretty much a wrap. Nashville will be completely depleted after that loss and I don't believe that they have what it takes to come back from down three games to one in this series. Looking at these teams, the Canucks have now won seven of the past eight meetings. Vancouver owns one of the best home records in hockey, and should be very strong yet again. They've got three strong goalies in Demko (injured,) DeSmith (expected to start) and Silovs (who got the Game 4 start.) Either one of them is capable of having an outstanding performance. Look for a low scoring battle, with the Canucks ending this series tonight at home. Score Prediction: 3-1 Canucks. | |||||||
04-29-24 | Lightning v. Panthers -1.5 | 1-6 | Win | 145 | 23 h 60 m | Show | |
As much as I respect Tampa Bay for winning Game 4 to avoid elimination, it's time for them to face reality. They are done in this series and I believe that Florida will get the job done tonight. The Panthers have been one of the best teams in hockey all year long and I think that they are real contenders once again. Even though Florida was only able to win one of the first three games by more than one, they still have been able shut down Tampa Bay's attack (other than Game 4.) Sergei Bobrovsky has proven time and time again that he's one of the best in the business and you should expect him to continue his brilliance tonight. Tampa really struggled down the stretch and I don't think they have it in them to win three more games in a row. Look for a terrific showing from FLA and a big win by more than a goal on Monday evening. Score Prediction: 4-1 Panthers. | |||||||
04-24-24 | Golden Knights v. Stars -170 | 3-1 | Loss | -170 | 20 h 41 m | Show | |
It was a very poor goaltending performance from who I believe to be one of the better goaltenders in the entire league. Jake Oettinger allowed four goals on just fifteen shots. Yes, that sounds alarming. But, he's more than capable of bouncing back. Dallas is one of the most complete teams in hockey and should be able to win this game either way. Don't get me wrong, Vegas is much improved now that their a lot healthier. But, they've been injured all season and still have some question marks at times. Dallas is 15-3 in their last 18 conference games. They are also 12-3 in their last 15 games overall. Don't expect a another bad game from the Stars net-minder. I've got Dallas in Game 2. Score Prediction: 3-1 Stars | |||||||
04-23-24 | Avalanche -105 v. Jets | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 21 h 33 m | Show |
It was a thrilling Game 1 with goals left and right between these two teams (7-6 Winnipeg final.) Both attacks looked very sharp and now everyone wants to know what's going to happen in Game 2. Most of the time, I like the team that comes out on top of the high scoring game. However, I'm taking the Avalanche in this case. Here's why: Colorado could have very well been a higher seed if they were in almost any other division. Having said that, they've got an excellent record. Yes, Winnipeg has now beaten them in all four meetings this year, but Colorado are 11-4 in their last 15 games against teams in this division (Central.) There isn't much bad to say about the Jets as they've now won nine consecutive games. But they are just averaging just 2.46 goals per game compared to 3.71 that the Avs score. I expect those numbers to turn in the favor of Colorado here as they look to even this series up. Score Prediction: 4-2 Avalanche | |||||||
04-22-24 | Kings +150 v. Oilers | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Coming into Monday, a home team has yet to lose in both the NHL and NBA playoffs. Having said that, I believe that a few road teams will come out victorious today. Edmonton enters the playoffs on a bit of a losing streak having lost consecutive games as well as four of their last five. Even though they are the higher seed, the Oilers haven't really been all that consistent this season. They started the year quite horribly and then went on an epic winning streak. I believe that the Kings have been the much more consistent team. LAK was very solid on the road this year. They'll need a strong performance from Talbot in net tonight and I believe that he's more than capable of it. Edmonton was just 8-16 this season after allowing four goals or more in their last game. I expect the Kings to pull off the upset in Game 1. Score Prediction: 3-2 Kings | |||||||
04-21-24 | Predators v. Canucks -140 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 21 m | Show | |
Living in BC, I've been fortunate enough to go to plenty of Canucks games. Although I won't be attending tonight's game, I believe that Vancouver will be ready. This will be their first home game in the playoffs in nine years and will be fired up for this one. Although they've played well this season, Nashville isn't really your typical super-star filled playoff team. They rely on their goalie and depth to win. Having said that, the Canucks are dangerous everywhere. They've become a very complete hockey team and Demko is finally back to 100% for this series as well. With Vancouver having won four consecutive meetings between these teams, I don't see them losing this one at home with this crowd. The play is on the Canucks in Game 1. Score Prediction: 3-1 Canucks | |||||||
04-15-24 | Bruins -155 v. Capitals | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -155 | 26 h 45 m | Show |
(#35) Boston Bruins @ (#36) Washington Capitals - 7:07pm EST Boston Bruins -155 Coming off their win against Pittsburgh, the Bruins look to continue their dominant run here today. They've won five of their last six games, with one of those wins coming against the Capitals to finish off March. This game matters for the Bruins just as much as it does for the Capitals as first place is on the line in the Atlantic Division. Having said that, I expect the better team to come out on top. Washington simply isn't as good as they used to be. They are older and less talented this season. Yes, they are still a good group of hockey plays. But, they have nowhere near the abilities that the Bruins possess. The Capitals have lost three of their last four games played at home and haven't been all that impressive down the stretch. As big of a game this is, the Bruins should be able to roll. They've won nine of the last 12 meetings, including five of the past six games played @Washington. Don't overthink this one. Play on the Bruins. Score Prediction: 4-1 Bruins (good until -185) | |||||||
04-13-24 | Red Wings +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 16 h 31 m | Show | |
(#15) Detroit Red Wings @ (#16) Toronto Maple Leafs - 7:07pm EST Detroit Red Wings +1.5 (-155) With Toronto already having clinched a spot in the postseason, I don't expect them to be going all out tonight. They have very slim chances of improving their seed, which should make them a bit cautious with how much T.O.I the stars are getting. On the other hand, this is do-or-die for the Red Wings. Having lost back to back games, they don't really have a choice other than to win out and hope for the best. It was a heartbreak overtime loss in their last game, but they still were able to grab a point. Winning this game would be huge. Getting this much value on the plus a goal and a half line is absurd. Detroit won the last meeting 4-2 (in Toronto) back in January. I expect them to win again today. Score Prediction: 5-2 Red Wings (good until +1.5 -170) | |||||||
04-13-24 | Islanders v. Rangers -160 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
(#1) New York Islanders @ (#2) New York Rangers - 12:30pm EST New York Rangers -160 After taking the Rangers against the Islanders a fews days ago and having them lose, I'm back with them again today. This time they are at home, where they've been excellent all season long. As a matter of fact, they've won over 70% of their games at home this year. Looking at the Islanders, they've won six consecutive games. They now sit quite comfortably in a playoff spot with just three games remaining. Yes, they don't want to slip up and lose out. However, I don't see them winning a seventh game in a row here, especially against the Rangers again. The Rangers are better in most stat categories, and the President's trophy is still up for grabs. Expect them to turn things around here and dominate this game at MSG. Score Prediction: 4-2 Rangers (good until -190) | |||||||
04-11-24 | Jets v. Stars UNDER 6 | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
(#47) Winnipeg Jets @ (#48) Dallas Stars - 8:07pm EST Total Under 6.0 (-115) Both of these two teams have been two of the best in hockey throughout this season. Although the Stars have seen more “over” games than “under” games, they've still got very good defense and goltending. Having said that, they'll need to focus on that in today's gigantic game. The President's Trophy is on the line for the Stars and a higher seed in on the line for the Jets. Looking at Winnipeg, they've seen eight more “under's” this season than "over's." They've got Connor Hellebuyck (likely starter.) If he isn't the best in the league, he's definitely top five. I expect him to be strong today against a very good attacking team. In their last three meetings with each other (all this season,) we've seen under, under, under. I believe that another “under” is bound to happen in a very important game. Score Prediction: 2-1 Winnipeg (good until 5.5 -115) | |||||||
04-11-24 | Capitals v. Sabres -129 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
(#37) Washington Capitals @ (#38) Buffalo Sabres - 7:07pm EST Buffalo Sabres -129 Even though the Sabres are already eliminated from playoff contention, they still want play spoiler for these teams fighting for their lives. Pittsburgh and Detroit is another big game on today's card with this game being up there as well. Washington is among a group of five teams fighting for just two spots in this year's postseason. Buffalo may still be a young team, but they've got loads of talent. In the last meeting between these sides, the Sabres put up six goals in a 6-2 victory. Though I don't see this game being that big of a blowout, I'm expecting the Sabres to come out on top again this time around. Washington just isn't what they used to be and will make things difficult for themselves down to the last couple of games with a poor performance tonight. Score Prediction: 4-2 Sabres (good until -150) | |||||||
04-09-24 | Rangers -128 v. Islanders | 2-4 | Loss | -128 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
(#11) New York Rangers @ (#12) New York Islanders - 7:07pm EST New York Rangers -128 With just four games remaining on the hockey schedule, the Rangers can clinch the top seed in the Metropolitan division tonight. What better way to do it than to beat one of your rivals in the New York Islanders. A win here would also get them one step closer to the always impressive President's Trophy (most points in entire league.) Having said that, there's plenty to play for tonight. The Islanders may have won four consecutive games. However, the Rangers simply dominate when these teams collide. NYR has won both matchups this season, and three in a row dating back to late 2022. With the Penguins, Capitals and Flyers right on the heels of NYI, this is a massive game for them as well. Ilya Sorokin is one of the best goalies in the league, that's for sure. But, I don't think that he'll be enough to save the Islanders against the always dangerous NY Rangers on Tuesday. When the road team gets hot, it's hard to stop them no matter where the game is played. Score Prediction: 3-1 Rangers (good until -145) | |||||||
04-07-24 | Canadiens v. Rangers -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
(#65) Montreal Canadiens @ (#66) New York Rangers - 7:07pm EST New York Rangers -1.5 (-130) It's been another poor season for the Canadiens as they've been eliminated from playoff contention for a while now. Having said that, they shouldn't be much of a threat in today's game against the Rangers. They've lost consecutive games now and just have six games remaining now. Looking at NYR, they are hot. When I say hot, I mean extremely hot. They've won seven of their last eight games and should be able to win this game as most of those games were against much tougher opponents. This game is at home, and the Rangers are 27-10-0 at home this season. I'm taking the puck line here as I believe that the Rangers are simply a better team by a mile. Just 11 of their 52 wins this season come in OT and I don't think this game goes that far. Montreal is poor at scoring and poor at defending, making this game not very competitive like the line suggests. Score Prediction: 5-2 Rangers (good until -1.5 -160) | |||||||
04-06-24 | Oilers -155 v. Flames | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
(#51) Edmonton Oilers @ (#52) Calgary Flames - 10:07pm EST Edmonton Oilers -155 It's been a rough couple of weeks for the Flames as they are now out of the playoff race. Having said that, I don't expect them to be going full tilt against their in-province rivals in Edmonton. The Oilers are still looking to gain ground on the Canucks, and a win here is crucial if they want to get by them over the last few games. They are coming off a big 6-5 win against Colorado and should be able to get it done again tonight. It's revenge night as Calgary won the last meeting back in February. Having said that, Edmonton's won the past five meetings in Calgary. I've got them again tonight. Score Prediction: 6-2 Oilers (good until -180) |
