sabres/senators game 3

[AC1318]

I think it is a safe assumption that 85% of the hockey wagers will be on buffalo tonight.

As I said even during the regular season miller is suspect and has trouble keeping pucks out of the net.
Ottawa claims they found a flaw in his skills making it a little easier to score.

I would think buff comes out firing and they can't seem to contain ottawa on the power play so I was thinking over in tonights game.

any suggestions or thoughts.

Also buffalo has always had more success in ottawa than at home vs ottawa.

I would think due to the urgency factor of the game for buffalo the line would be even or slight favorite to ottawa, The line posted where it is leads me to believe buffalo loses again tonight.

I like the Sens tonight AC.

Defensively Buffalo is very scary, they allow too many odd man rushes ( and short handed breakaways) and they try to make long "pretty" passes that are too often easily intercepted by Ottawa.

The Sabres regular season tactics made for some entertaining hockey, the playoffs are a different animal. Ottawa has the speed to match Buffalo's , Ottawa's defence is superior and so far has enjoyed better goaltending than the Sabres. Ottawa is also a tougher team physically.

I wouldn't touch the total and I think the only way Buffalo wins tonight is if Ottawa plays less intensley than they have so far. That might be difficult as the Senators fans are ready for the kill and the Scotiabank Place in Kanata will be rocking.

I see a bit of value in the Sabres at +130 but wouldn't bet too much on this game. Yes Buffalo is desperate but they cannot beat Ottawa when Ottawa plays its best hockey.
The lines I see have Ottawa at -150 -160

I actually took a shot with Buffalo +135, figuring the desparation factor will get them ONE win before going down 3-1 in Game 4 (more or less knocking them out).

i took under 5.5 (+110)

Buffalo may have won the Presidents trophy, but against Ottawa they look overmatched.

0 for the series in power plays, giveaways, and other errors will sink this team. They need to do something differently to have any success. After the 1st period they look terrible, lets see how they do in the 2nd.

Ottawa clearly the superior team. They never seem to let down during a game.
