    It's too bad Draisaitl is playing hurt going into this series. Injuries are part of the game, but would have been nice to see the key players in good shape for this matchup. Evander Kane needs to continue picking up the slack.

    Does anybody here have an explanation or theory on how these goalies couldn't stop a shot? I mean, it was as if most of the time something was wrong with their vision. More than players screening in front of the shots, maybe reflection of light in the arena? or what?

    Similar odds for both games tonight.

    Will both road teams return home down 2-0 in series, or will one, or both, of them steal a game tonight?

    NYR even odds protecting home ice down 2-0 doesn't look good for them.

    I listened to the STL home call on the radio, they were saying it looked like a good physical playoff hockey play. In other words, even they weren't blaming Kadri for a dirty hit.

    Binnington has lower-body injury for Blues, out for series vs. Avalanche

    Goalie left in first period of Game 3 following collision, could return later in playoffs

    Oddsmaker not seeming very enthusiastic about Calgary and/or NYR tying their respective series tonight.

    Lines for both games near pick 'em
    Edmonton -120 was the largest favorite tonight
    Which means the Home teams are not being given an abundance of respect either

    I think Carolina ultimately bests New York in the series but I bet New York tonight because Carolina still hasn't won a road game in these playoffs. I took Edmonton in the other game as well as their team total over because I feel like Edmonton is hot right now and its hard to step in front of them even though Calgary is a good team.

    Yes, with NYR at home looking to tie the series up versus going down 3 games to 1, I was expecting to see them open more favored.

    Calgary has been struggling to keep the goals against down as they had done so well during the regular season, and Edmonton's been hot. The pick'em opening makes more sense here, despite Calgary's desperation to not go down 3-1 on home ice.

    What I learned from this week so far, well cemented it more....

    Need a very good goalie to have a chance to win the Cup. A hot streaking goalie might work.

    Having said that, as fun as the Oilers are playing, how can they be a threat to win it all with Smith or the backup Koskinen for that matter?

    What was that 185 foot goal against Smith.... good thing for them it didn't cost the game.

    NYR's gotta win once in Carolina, not easy to do. Tonight would be the night to do it. A game 7 in Carolina would be even tougher to steal.

    It will be tougher to steal especially since Carolina is undefeated at home in the playoffs and is very comfortable playing there. That said I do think it makes it back there for a game 7 because Carolina can't seem to win on the road in the playoffs. Game 7 will be must watch TV imo because anything can happen in a winner take all game and I expect both teams to play well in that scenario.
