Kings ml +146 $100 to win $146

I cant do it, gotta go HAWKS.... -1 (+115) and -1/2 reg (-108)

Even put $100 on CHI to win CUP (+180)...THEY'VE BEEN BEST TEAM ALL YEAR and look like it now

[Kpn]

Statement game for Pittsburgh, going Pittsburgh, reg, -1.5, over 2.5. I think this will be a 5-2 win for Pittsburgh. Big play for me.

I was thinking the same lol don't wanna get crushed tonight tho but thinking there going to come out flying

it would also make sense to expect BOS to relax, a split in PIT is what they had to be hoping for anyway.....not sure of the PL, like the -1/2 and OVER 2.5

No relaxing in the playoffs, this isn't the NBA. Bruins will be focused and probably start better then they did last game, but Pitt should still have early shot/chance advantage. Pitt -.5 probably my play, more likely to get an OT game in Boston games.

Trust me this should be the game you make up for the bad last few days, if you watched game one, Pittsburgh had the anti-luck against them I saw several crossbar hits and 3-4 god-like should have been goals saves from Rask. It won't happen again Pittsburgh will be out for blood.

What's up guys, sorry I was MIA this weekend - sister got married in college station so I had to be down there for that and didn't even look at a computer. Saw that there was a B2B with home and home and that Blackhawks took the first one - hoping ya'll remembered that my favorite trend this year was in B2B home games where the home team wins the first one. They almost always won the second one this year.

Anyways, should be a good game tonight. Agree with Kpn, Pitt will be out for blood tonight and I like them to take this one.

[cotes17]

We all got slammed today, I got series bets that I'm kissing goodbye too. Stupid Penguins. Only bet worth making is just the over on the rest of the matchup I guess.

They are not done yet, though Bruins at -275 for the series not bad value and probably not a bad idea for Pens backers to play that and cut your losses. I have Pens in the series and futures on the Bruins to win the East with a little more profit if Pens win. Going to play Bruins for the series now, enough so that I will lose some, but not a ton, if Pens come back.

Here are the historical numbers for teams winning first two on the road, really points to the value in that -275 when you throw in Pens goalie situation along with how good the Bruins have looked since being down 4-1 to the Leafs.

series record, NHL only, all rounds: 60-18 (.769)
series record, NHL only, Semifinals round: 15-1 (.938)

Edit: Looks like I wasn't alone in seeing value at -275, 5Dimes just moved the Bruins to -320, not much value left now.

Blackhawks sweep the kings? I think not. May be of benefit to play kings next two games.

Not so sure about that. Here are the historical numbers, though have to factor in how good Kings have been at home these playoffs and overall home team trend this year.

Record of team on the road after winning two at home:
Game 3 NHL all rounds: 129-117 (.524)
Game 3 NHL Semifinals round: 31-27 (.534)

Series record also doesn't look good for Kings hopefuls:
NHL all rounds: 219-27 (.890)
NHL Semifinals round: 52-6 (.897)

Do you have # of playoff semifinal sweeps historically?

[odog11]

Do you have # of playoff semifinal sweeps historically?

108. Teams up 3-0 are 108-64 (.628) in game 4.

Semifinals 24-18 (.571) in game 4.
Chicago(home ice) situation is 19-13 (.594), Bruins situation 5-5 in game 4.

I got a baseball thread going if anyone likes that. Come on over and give your inputs so we can have a good season in MLB like we did in NHL!!

I went with this too, hope the Hawks can get a lead early and might hedge back with Kings +.5, depending on how the game goes. Both of these teams are really good third period teams, which makes the live betting difficult though.

[Seeing Stars]

missed start of game but i think CHI wins this one...$100 CHI ML (+275) live in-game play
