k13...who do you like to win each first round match-up? I'm liking Boston, Pitts, Philly, TB, LA, Minnesota, Anaheim, St Louis

[newguy]

Looks like you can get better odds on Blackhawks game 1 than the series line. Said this before but I think you will be able to see a lot in game 1 from Kane and Toews and what they might be able to do. I think if Hawks win game 1 they will win series, if not, I can always get better value on series line with them down 1-0 if I like what I see from them. St. Louis obviously hobbled into playoffs - had shot at first place in division and gets shut out at home on national tv - that isn't how you like a team to come into the playoffs. Chicago didn't do much better but were without their big guns, so to me this series hinges on whether Toews and Kane are healthy enough to lead the team. Game one should tell us that.

Does Detroit +2300 have any value whatsoever?

Im not a hockey guy so .. but thought I heard that of the last 8 presidents cup winners 4 lost in the first round.

Will be interested in seeing how that moves as series get closer. That Hawks/Blues one is a reaction to the Blues slumping on way in and obviously the defending champs getting plus or even series odds - i love hockey playoffs

Bishop just announced out for game 1. Enjoy Lindback.

They could put stamkos in net and I'd still think tampa would win.

Books don't care, no line move.

Don't be ridiculous. Lose Game 1 and you give up home ice. Montreal firing on all cylinders. Lindback is a downgrade.

[k13]

Lindback has been on fire the last 3 games. Should give him some confidence.

If not, put the rookie in.

They'll be fine, montreal has no offense.

[Fizkich]

But they will beat the Hawks .....I will have a ton on the Blues in the 1st rd.....The champs make a early exit. [/QUOTE]

Im putting my cash on Chicago.... St. Louis is missing goal scorers. Something like 7 players out.

[ChiLLx]

Tampa Bay looks like an easy play for game 1.

I hope the Hawks lose game 1 for better series odds down 0-1.

[k13]

Boston is only -190 vs montreal. ....

[HOT WINGS]

Not much value with any of the series lines this year. Think your better off playing game to game. Playing Wings, Wild, Kings,, Hawks and Habs on road in game 1's and chase game 2 if I have too. Think all those teams have great chance of making long series and stealing home ice early although in hockey home ice is not nearly important as other sports.

[cryptocap]

didnt know the experts really thought LA...gunna switch to SJ...LA has been underscoring and that gets them into problems...a potent threat in the shark tank wont do em any good...DETROIT IN 7

[Barnes & Whine]

Hawks. Aves, Habs. everything else is swallowing too much chalk.

Nice. Let's load up on the Blackhawks with the rest of the public. Blues are done.....right??

Agreed... like the Bolts here as well

[k13]

Avs are +110 vs St louis
Wild are +160 vs St louis


So wild would not be around even money vs Avs


I don't think I can pass up a bos/pit parlay

[easyliving]

is Detroit really as live as a dog as some are making them out to be? I was considering parlaying Pitt/Boston series but now I am having doubts after reading through this thread.

Puck possesion team with high level of discipline. They wont implode like most teams do against Boston and play Bruins game and get out of there own style. I think they are very live dog myself. They also have some youth/speed that can give Boston problems. Obviously be huge to get Z back but doubt he plays first 2 games or even the series.

[k13]

Carey price in full playoff mode already....lol

Anders "Baby Giraffe" Lindback

[k13]

Lot of shots. Just another nhl coin flip.

Still think tampa wins this series.

If it was a coin flip as you say +120 on the Canadians was an easy play. They dominated nearly every aspect of that game all while on the road. Lindback was out of position and struggled controlling the puck the entire game. Lightning scored 2 goals on three shots and both goals came off turnovers in the 3rd period. Canadians didn't help Price back checking and Price had to sell out a number of times. If you believe Tampa still wins the series, you should get a decent # now that they gave away home ice.

[k13]

I did not watch most of the game. Was at work.
Looked like a good game.

At least my pens did not choke....almost.

How bad did fleury look?

Honestly, I watched the entire Canadians game. Pens game was strange. Gave up a shorty to go down 3-1 and then scored 2 quick PPG's. Got the go ahead in the third. I was just box score watching though. Blue Jackets are gritty.
