[Deuce]

Raiders

what will the total be?

[raiders72002]

I passed on the total of 5. Det does not give up many goals, 10 shut outs, even though they can score a lot.

They also don't commit a lot of penalties.

Detroit is that good. So is Pittsburg.

Detroit is that good. So is Pittsburg.

Neither of these series will produce an upset.

Laying the wood is the only option (or don't play), your likelyhood of cashing is very good.

Detroit will beat Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup Finals, they are more experienced, tougher, have better coaching, and are just plain better than Pittsburgh (and every other team in the league ) right now.

I went against you on this play Raiders. I took the Stars +195.

[Bobby]

I don't disagree that Detroit is good but you guys put waaaay too much stock into one game. When Detroit lost their series to Anaheim last year they also won game 1 of the series, when Detroit lost their series to Edmonton in 2006 they also won game 1 of the series...yeah game 1's are important but they are not the series.

Dallas ML for first period here, good luck guys

[raiders72002]

Dallas had a 4 on 1 and didn't score. 1-0 Det

Thanks for the stats, but playoffs u can throw out the window.

Be careful with that. It is hockey remember. The baseball 300 mets came through so this may not.

BS call, should be 2-1

[raiders72002]

power play Det.

[raiders72002]

Goooooooooooooooooooal 2-1

[raiders72002]

What a game. Both teams getting scoring chances up and down the ice.

[Dashwood Clipper]

Congrats to all wings backers

[raiders72002]

good game

[betplom]

2-1 was flattering for Dallas.

Detroit won the majority of faceoffs, dominated in puck control and shots on goal.
It's like Dallas was skating uphill against this team.

I was convinced Detroit was the real deal after watching the Nashville series.

Yeah, theres more hockey to be played but look for the same result, what can Dallas do to answer? Nothing.

[Francis Sollozzo]

good call , i hate laying heavy chalk but a win is a win

[InTheHole]

good call , i hate laying heavy chalk but a win is a win

Had Dallas at +1.5. Great Game!

Of course most of us here want the + M/L odds, but there are only four teams left and two teams are dominant, these two will meet in the finals, not likely to get many big + odds games now.

[raiders72002]

shots on goal 34-18
face offs won 39-16

[raiders72002]

Next game will be a war because Osgood got whacked good by Ribeiro at the end of the game.

[moses millsap]

Might as well make this a sticky. Lay the wood every night for the rest of the playoffs. Stars and Flyers totally outclassed.

[Bobby]

Yup I stand corrected, Detroit has this series locked up
