NHL Second Round - Game 5 in the bubbles

[hotcross]

Two Game 5 's are scheduled for Monday and another two Game 5 's scheduled for Tuesday.

All of the teams leading are up 3-1 games in the Series.


Question: Do the teams trailing even want to be there anymore? Put up any fight-back, or just lay down?


Monday Aug.31:
7pm eastern: Boston vs Tampa - Tampa leads 3-1
9:45pm eastern: Dallas vs Colorado - Dallas leads 3-1



Tuesday Sep.1:
7pm eastern: NY Islanders vs Philadelphia - NY leads 3-1
9:45pm eastern: Vancouver vs Vegas - Vegas leads 3-1



Opinion for Monday: both Boston and Colorado to win

Will deal with Tuesday after seeing how Monday goes.

wanted to mention the Dallas vs Colorado game 5 is a back-to-back, I haven't yet found an overnight opening line

the over on the avs-stars seems to be the consistent play

i like the islanders to end it tuesday as well as vegas

i think there is pride for the teams left to play well

I bet Dallas and Tampa Bay. Boston has goalie issues and Dallas has all the momentum. When the pucks start going in like they are for Dallas, Colorado is always under pressure.

I see what the deal is with Vancouver. They never win the battles on the boards. They are an “ open ice team”.
Petterson is a great player and best player on the ice for Canucks. Markstrom has been lights out and if he isn’t, Knights score 10 goals a game. Knights can beat you anywhere on the ice.

Flyers hard to figure. Fast, exciting team, but Isles seem just a little faster and a little more exciting. More sure of themselves also. Maybe that’s the coach or maybe just the winning side of it. How any team can get rid of Bouvillier is beyond me . What a pick up for the Isles at the deadline.
