Boston @ CAROLINA
CAROLINA +112 over Boston
BEST LINE: Pinnacle +112
OT included. The Bruins are obviously a solid club. In this early going, they're one of just four teams without a regulation loss and they appear primed to take another run at the Cup. This isn't about wagering against them. This is about recognizing another team in the East that cannot be ignored.
You might remember back in the 2005/'06 season when the Hurricanes came out of nowhere, jumped out to a quick start and went on to win the Stanley Cup. That group, like this one, was assembled by Jim Rutherford and this year's edition of the Hurricanes is reminiscent of that one. Carolina is loaded with talent, both young and experienced. They're quick, tough and solid from top to bottom. On most nights, to beat them, the opposition is going to have to be at their best, especially in Carolina, as the Sabres and Bolts have already found out. Tampa won in Carolina but they were clearly the second best team on the ice that night. In its first loss of the year in Florida, Carolina again dominated play but Cam Ward was yanked after allowing four goals on 12 shots in the first period. The Canes have been the better team in all four of their games so far. With just a 2-2 record and both wins coming against a Buffalo team that was the first to lose to Washington, the Hurricanes are unheralded. It's not going to last long so we’ll get the benefit of prices like this one while we can.
