I just do not bet hockey, but dang..Bovada has 71 bets you can make on this game! they have the over 5 1/2..seems high for a game 7, but that is just based on gut feeling.

Leafs and Raptors at the same time, that sucks for Toronto fans. Plus we have the Cav-Pacers on at the same time...hmm, might have to become my own sports bar and get a 3rd tv going tonight Leafs are 99% of the alleged heart and soul of Toronto sports fans. Especially a game 7. And the Leafs are scrappy underdogs, unlike the gutless quitter kitties in the hoops jerseys. 10 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: I just do not bet hockey, but dang..Bovada has 71 bets you can make on this game! they have the over 5 1/2..seems high for a game 7, but that is just based on gut feeling.

Anderson has been out of his mind I don’t see that holding up and the Bruins are do to hit a few less posts and a few more strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be flying around tonight. I have no idea who will win, I don’t trust Rask. He hasn’t seen the puck well the past few games he got lucky a few of them hit him directly in the pads. The Bruins D scares no one, Babcock has them taking advantage of Krug every time he is in the ice. Closer to 9 goals scored tonight than 6.

plenzmd1 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 so looks like 6 goals or more have been scored in 17 of 53 game 7's since 2006. Not sure if that is relevant or not, I am not sure to look up how many hit the over at say 5..but just some food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three games in Boston have gone over. A huge discrepancy in penalties called in Boston vs. in Toronto. Will they swallow the whistle in game 7? Sure that is possible. Even if they do Rask is horrible in 7’s and IIRC Anderson was also under .900. Two choking pigs playing a must win, I can’t see this playing out as a clean 2-1 type of game.

Dante Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Crazy game. Patty coming through like I figured. Not over Leafs getting lots of open ice. Man, that Bruin defense is there to be exploited with a little speed. Good thing Chara has a long reach otherwise he would be nothing more than a pylon. I would be dumping it in on his side all the time. GO SHARKS! Edited April 26, 2018 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) watching both games , will post thoughts in a bit (edit)I thought the over was done at end of first.but no way was I gonna jinx it for Commonsense.

njbuff Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I didn't think the Leafs were that bad on the back end. The Devils will now have some competition for John Carlson come July 1st. The Devils are going hard for Tavares or they are going package deal with JVR and John Carlson. That is the scuttlebutt. If the Devils sign Tavares, they will be going on the trade market for OEL.

The Bruins are NOT a far better team. They are marginally better. Bruins D is average. Goalie is kinda mental/erratic. Like stated before. Leafs are a couple competent (not all-star caliber) dmen away from beating Boston. To go even farther than them they might need a solid power forward as well not sure. I am an objective observer as a Shark fan. Not really watching the east to much I depend on Sirius NHL for a lot of info that way. All I have heard all year is how great Boston is. Well, from the 7 games I watched, they ain't all that. Totally beatable. Leafs do a couple adds in the offseason they beat the Bruins if they meet next year.

row_33 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Anderson let in too many weak goals against the Bruins, the two last goals were really weak last night. A shot from a distance just happened to hit him early in the game, it would otherwise have gone in without him having a clue. it's year two of the rebuild of the team, they will address a glaring weakness or two in the offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is goalies are not expensive these days. Have to look at free agents over the summer to see who is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with him in net for next season, not calling him an immortal at this stage. The D has to be the focus for adding players for the offseason.

Its a total reconstruction project based on the Devils and Red Wings success from the neutral zone trap and Katy Bar the Door with any lead. Not the most exciting way to play and is usually outshot even with a win. Thats two years of building and its getting there on schedule hopefully for the Leafs.

Dante Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Well the optimistic side of me says that Sharks were negatively affected by the long lay off. The Knights loved it. The pessimistic side of me says we can't hang with these guys. I know the next game the Sharks will be better. But even at that, will it be good enough? I've learned not to count them out of anything. Not a good look last night though that's for sure. Edited April 27, 2018 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
