Pittsburgh/Boston: What's The Plan?

[Winnipeg Jets]

Turco and Johnson between the pipes. Game total at 6.

Bruins not resting any of the offensive talent. Boston playing good now heading into the playoffs.

Penquins. Will they come out flat after the game with Philly?

Like B's tt over 2.5 juiced -155$.

Over

[bigsmitty]

Yeah I only play sides so I'm off this one-can make equal cases for either side and the backup goalies make it a total guess. If I played totals I would go over. Cheers

[Sawyer]

Over 6 -115

[odog11]

Penguins still with something to play for, Bruins position set. They have Turco in net, looks like rookie Krug fresh out of college in, McQuade still out. Bruins will be limiting ice time as well. Johnson can't be much worse than what Penguins have been getting. Really like Pitt tonight.

[dredmahawkus]

Bruins said they are resting alot of players tonight.

[hockey216]

penguins are going to beat the bruins

[cankid]

over seems to be the play here

[eXon]

I agree on the over here, my book has it at 5,5 though.



Off topic: I´m also thinking Leafs/Buffalo might go over 5,5 as well.

Anyone see that blatant Letang dive on the 'high sticking' penalty?

Unreal, that shit needs to be punished ASAP before hockey turns into soccer

There's tons of embellishment and diving in NHL and NBA as it is. Probably not much less than soccer. Difference is that in soccer they actually dive and hit the ground more because the pitch is so large and it's more visible to the ref. NHL and NBA don't need to do that because play area is smaller, so they just snap their head back or pretend they got hit somewhere instead of diving to the ground.

But yes, I saw that complete bullshit and now will have another losing night because of it. I hate this. I fukking hate this.

[Winnipeg Jets]

took game over 5.5 ....nice easy win unlike last night's last second goal.

Diving in hockey nowhere even close to diving in soccer

Not even close

you havent seen the vancouver canucks play. Burrows bites people and dives and the whimpy Sedin sisters dive on every play all year long. They finally started getting embellishment penalties for it. I hate embellishment. I think its bad for the sport.

[hockey216]

as for soccer... i dont know bc i dont watch it

[PuckIt]

I heard they're bringing in Stone Cold steve austin to teach them all how to fake punch each other during fights.

They have a rule, but apparently the NHPLA does not want it enforced so it isn't, they don't want a "diving" list of players. They need to start enforcing it, shame these players into stopping the flopping. Habs and Nucks would lead the list, Pitt probably a close third.

Yeah Canucks are way up there

Lapierre is one of the worst on the Canucks

Don't they get a reputation and then refs stop calling in their favor? That's how it used to work

What a surprise they're all Europeans and frogs
