Should we expect a bunch of low games in the 2nd round and beyond, since these players will probably be fatigue by then?

Your guess is as good as mine

That's strange you would think it be low-scoring with all the pressure

There's been record set for amount of overtimes in the first round already, 7 i believe, adding to the total going over.

One thing in the NHL that I think has really attributed to this is the late game management by coaches in the NHL. Kaino kind of alluded to it but overtime has been a big factor. But before OT has even come into play, coaches have been much more apt to pull goalies with just under 2 minutes remaining and over 3 remaining down 2. This is a trend that I started to notice last year but it is full blown at this point across the league. So many games have been tied in the final seconds and this trend is a big reason. One goal in the final minute really means two with OT. Also with the goalie out there has been quite a few empty netters. I've lost or pushed every under bet I've made so far.

Sure it could go over. Or it could go under more since the second round will have better teams against better teams.
