Lighting vs. Capitals Game 2 Thoughts?

[bleek88]

Do you guys think the Lighting can pull the impossible and win 2 in Washington to take a 2-0 lead going back to tampa? I like Washington in Game 2. What about you guys?

[FindTheLock]

I am a lightning fan and it is my hope for them to pull it off, but it isn't the most realistic bet on the board. I can dream though.

look for the caps to bounce back here at home.

[cutesauce]

i can see tampa bay taking a 2-0 lead, both teams are offensively skilled it can go either way.
theres more value on tb imo
go tb.

[Eleven]

Im going with the caps tonight.

[derKaiserDegen]

Last game was pretty close, I expect Was to bounce back. I doubt they want to go back to TB down 2-0. Should be a great game. I am going to take WAS puckline 2.6:1 for +1.5. GL.

[pepper60000]

going with the caps for sure....they should bounce back

[korbal29]

was in a do or die situation so they gonna go all out

[a4u2fear]

Caps -1.5 and score first

[xraygord]

Bolts all the way....!!!!!!!!

[drgonzo111]

Don't count the Lightning out so quickly. Their success so far has not been a fluke, especially on the road.

Gange n kubina expected to miss tonight's game.. any updates on this?

[bigsmitty]

If I had to I would go with TB, simply because I can't see an advantage to either side other than the line (about +175 TB right now). If anything I think TB might take the series which is a bit of a surprise to me and I'd like WSH but we'll see.

Yes, it is impossible for a road team to win twice in the NHL....it is very possible.

You are acting like this is a 16 vs the 1 seed in the NCAA tourny or something.

According to @BComptonNHL, both are out tonight. Blair Jones and Randy Jones will be in the lineup

Thanx for the confirmation!

Caps return to what got them this far, defense first hockey.

Caps + Under is my play for this one...

good luck!!!

[bleek88]

Do you think the caps can beat them by 2+? I have a gut feeling they may today. Or i might just go ML on the caps

[FindTheLock]

the lightning haven't lost by -1.5 in the playoffs since game 1 of the penguins series. So that means they are 7-1 against the -1.5 PL, but in their wins they are 4-1 covering the -1.5. If anything I would bet on the lightning to cover +1.5 before I would bet on the caps to cover -1.5

[Fl6j66]

I think caps ml and over should hit.

Darn right, nothing flukie about Caps hitting the post twice on the same powerplay, the game tying goal being deflected in by a Caps' defender, and several other bounces that went the way of the Lightning.

Probably last game with these two with this kind of value

makes sense, but scenarios exist that can put a damper on that edge

[crjohnson32]

Thanks for this.... I was leaning slightly on caps but was basically undecided on this game 10 min before puck dropped. Decided to take TB +1 -103

[DemoralizdDreamr]

Wash got like its 6th PP already, they still havent scored.

[paco]

26 shots and Infinity # of PP's for Washington and they muster 1 weak ass goal

[twelvejewelz]

yea baby TB ml cashes! Nice shot to
