Flames & Bruins Under 5
Game Time: 10/19/2006 7:00:00 PM
By: John Fina
A couple of weak offenses spell under as the Flames meet the Bruins in Boston tonight.
Today we expect very few goals to be scored as the Calgary Flames do battle on the road against the Boston Bruins.
It's not a secret that both of these offenses struggle to score goals. The Flames are averaging only 2.2 goals per game and the Bruins 2.0 per game. While both of these teams have weak defenses, the fact of the matter still remains that you need talent to score goals.
The bottom line, Calgary and Boston don't have the talent that is needed to score many goals. It's also good to note that the under is 58-28 in the Flames' road games over the last two seasons. The under is also 23-8 in Bruins home games when playing with three or more days rest, a trend that dates back to 1996.
We should see no more than four goals combined tonight!
