Pulling the Goalie

[Itsamazing777]

wow the Wings did it the same way back to back nights. They did their part. Flyers didn't.

Yep

[DwightShrute]

Best time of the year with another 4 games tonight. Home teams undefeated so far.

I am no Leafs fan but they didn't play as bad as the score dictated in game 1 considering they didn't have Nylander in and likely won't have him again tonight. Game time decision it seems. I am rooting for Boston but guessing the Leafs win game 2. Toronto 4-3.
Toronto Maple Leafs +133
game 2 Over 5.5-125 Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins


NYI probably lose game 2 but I am guessing they score a couple more than game 1. Canes 4-3
game 2 Over 5.5+112 New York Islanders vs Carolina Hurricanes

Stone is miraculously feeling better just in time for the playoffs. Stars win in OT 4-3.
game 2 Over 5.5-118 Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars

Edmonton will set the tone for this series with a solid home performance. Oilers 4-3
game 1 Edmonton Oilers -165
game 1 Over 6+107 Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers


Over 1.5-121 Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers first period
Over 1.5-115 Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins first period
Over 1.5-108 Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars first period

[DwightShrute]

The Leafs had an empty net but hit the post denying me a perfect night. 8-1 overall.

Tuesday another 4 games.

BIG news out of Vancouver ... Thatcher Demko will not play tonight and his status for the rest of the series is questionable. They are reporting its not the same injury what sidelined him for a month just before the end of the regular season. This sucks big time.
Can the Canucks still do it in game 2? Maybe. Probably. I will take the over instead.

Over 6+107 Nashville Predators vs Vancouver Canucks - game 2

last game ended 3-2 with late goal (7 seconds left) by TB after allowing a goal when they pulled the goalie. I am guessing the offenses will shine tonight. 6-5 Bolts.

Tampa Bay Lightning +151 nhl playoffs - game 2
Over 5.5-128 Tampa Bay Lightning vs Florida Panthers - game 2

Each team went over the game total themselves in Game 1. Will it be another offensive shootout? I am guessing it will but not 13 goals. Avs 4-3

Colorado Avalanche -118 nhl playoffs - game 2
Over 6.5+104 Colorado Avalanche vs Winnipeg Jets - game 2

Over 1.5-115 Tampa Bay Lightning vs Florida Panthers first period
Over 1.5-128 Colorado Avalanche vs Winnipeg Jets first period
Over 1.5-115 Nashville Predators vs Vancouver Canucks first period

Great day. I saw the leafs miss as I could have used it also. The puck came off his stick so slow and it traveled with much anticipation. Some days, it goes and some not.

In any event, well done.

Oilers looked amazing but the Kings didn't give up. I am leaning LA in Game 2. Not sure about tonight's NYR game. Ovechkin didn't register a shot on goal in Game 1 and they have to have him play better for them to make it a series. I am leaning Caps/ NYR over as well.

Demko's injury is heartbreaking if it's any length of time that he'll miss.

GL tonight

Huge loss for Vancouver.

I bet Rangers on Puck line. Ovie to me is a great goalscorer, but very overrated as a so called ''Great Hockey Player''
His plus minus is off the wall. One of the highest in the negative dept. Puck him and the Capitols. Rangers should destroy them.

[budwiser]

how's Vancouver backup anyone know him?

[DwightShrute]

how's Vancouver backup anyone know him?

Casey DeSmith is pretty good. He has a very respectable career save percentage. His back-up tonight is Arturs Silovs who was named named IIHF World Championship MVP last year. https://www.espn.com/nhl/player/stats/_/id/3025540/casey-desmith.

Demko is a top 5 NHL goalie so its virtually impossible to replace him. Big chance for the Preds to even up the series heading to Nashville. Canucks need Miller and Petterrson to have a game. I think they will.

I took the over 5.5 as I mentioned before. Off to a good start for the over. 1-1 early. GL Slew!

save of the year. WOW! just WOW!

[slewfan]

We will be seeing that save the rest of the year and beyond. Made me think of Brodeur for some reason.

[DwightShrute]

Tampa were the better team in game 2 but the goalie was amazing. Tampa takes game 3 at home. Bolts 5-3

Tampa Bay Lightning -108
Over 6-114 Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning


NYI blew a 3-0 lead on the road. Normally I would guess they can't recover after that but this is a Patrick Roy coached team. They will bounce back at home. Islanders 5-3

New York Islanders +148
Over 5.5-103 Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders

[DwightShrute]

Spent many Saturday nights and many spring playoff games listening to one of the best!

RIP Bob Cole!

[DwightShrute]

Stars get back into the series with a 4-3 victory in Vegas
NHL Dallas Stars ML-112

[DwightShrute]

3-1 Saturday

Sunday seems extra hard.

Winnipeg needs to bring their A game today. With a win they will be headed home tied 2 games to 2. Could be another AV's blowout or a solid performance by the Jets. Jets 4-3
NHL Winnipeg Jets ML+133
NHL TOTAL o6½-123 (Winnipeg Jets vrs Colorado Avalanche)

Vancouver only managed 12 shots on goal last game. Preds will probably take this one at home but something tells me the Canucks are gonna find a way to win. Vancouver 4-3
NHL Vancouver Canucks ML+122
NHL TOTAL o5½-108 (Vancouver Canucks vrs Nashville Predators)

Caps lose the next game in NY. They find a way to win one for their fans. 5-3 Wash.
NHL Washington Capitals ML+163
NHL TOTAL o5½-103 (New York Rangers vrs Washington Capitals)

I really like the over again. I don't have the same feeling that the Kings can beat them like I did for game 2. Guessing another 4-3 OT gme.
NHL TOTAL o6½+102 (Edmonton Oilers vrs Los Angeles Kings)

Dwight! Watching this Canucks/Preds game. What a surge to tie this game to head to OT. WOW.

[budwiser]

finishing obviously important in hockey. finish the d/mn job or the other team will in the playoffs

[DwightShrute]

Monday Night

2 huge games

Ok yes Florida is probably the play but these games have been closed. Could easily be 2-2 if not for Bobrovsky's save of the year in game 2. I will take the upset and the juice. 4-3 Tampa

NHL Tampa Bay Lightning ML+158
TOTAL o6½+102 (Tampa Bay Lightning vrs Florida Panthers)

Can the Stars return the favor and take both games in Vegas and tie the series at 2? Sure they can. Vegas 5-4

NHL Vegas Golden Knights ML+107
NHL TOTAL o5½-118 (Dallas Stars vrs Vegas

[DwightShrute]

4 games tonight I am guessing on

Not sure if the Leafs will have Matthews. He did skate earlier in the day. Either way, they put in a better effort.
NHL TOTAL o5½-118 (Toronto Maple Leafs vrs Boston Bruins)

Probably over tonight. Could be a few late goals in NY is behind.
NHL TOTAL o5½+102 (New York Islanders vrs Carolina Hurricanes)

Can the Jets give the Avs a game? Not sure.
NHL TOTAL o6½-118 (Colorado Avalanche vrs Winnipeg Jets)

Nucks might have their 3rd string goalie starting and their 4th stringer as a backup.
NHL TOTAL o5½-108 (Nashville Predators vrs Vancouver Canucks)

[DwightShrute]

I thought the game started later.

Oh well, this is what I got

4 TEAMS PARLAY


NHL Edmonton Oilers ML-188
NHL TOTAL o6½+108(Los Angeles Kings vrs Edmonton Oilers)
NHL Dallas Stars ML-154
NHL TOTAL o5½-121 (Vegas Golden Knights vrs Dallas Stars)

[DwightShrute]

I am cheering for the Bruins but something tells me there will be a game 7 in Boston Saturday night. Yes I know Matthews is out and the Leafs have lost a million straight home playoff games in a row. 4-3 TML.

NHL Toronto Maple Leafs ML+105 NHL Playoffs - Game 6
NHL TOTAL o5½-113 (Boston Bruins vrs Toronto Maple Leafs)

[DwightShrute]

2 massive game 6's

The defending champs win at home to force game seven. 4-3 Vegas.
NHL Vegas Golden Knights ML-105
NHL TOTAL o5½-113 (Dallas Stars vrs Vegas Golden Knights)

Demko is practicing again, DeSmith is getting close but the Canucks' 3rd stringer starting in net again. He's played well. Both goalies have. Something has to give eventually. I am guessing the Canucks' PP gets on track tonight and they close out the series. Nashville 3 Vancouver 4.
NHL Vancouver Canucks ML+102
NHL TOTAL o5½-108 (Vancouver Canucks vrs Nashville Predators)
