I am liking what I see from Ottawa in this series. They peppered BRODEUR with so many quality scoring chances. Brodeur was focussed and you could see it in his eyes in the warmups.
I think the key here is that Ottawa is relentless, BRODEUR was unreal but they kept coming and eventually they will score on Brodeur. The thing is that with Ottawa attacking all game it means the Devils are not generating many scoring chances. Emery had a pretty easy shutout last game.
I think that Brodeur is a great bounce back goalie as he just did last game but lets consider these scenarios.
1-Ottawa generates it typical 30+shot performance and controls tempo and offensive puck control.
2-Brodeur plays like he did last game and absolutely stops everything.
3-Brodeur plays great but gets beat twice by goals
4-Brodeur plays average and lets in 3 to 4
5-Brodeur does not bring it to the rink- Lets in 5 goals within first 2 periods.
Jersey offense has not been dominant and has not been able to keep Ottawa's D pinned in their zone. They have also not peppered a lot of quality scoring chances on Emery. Even the goals Emery let in were weak, emery wishes he should have them back.
I think what we are seeing here is Ottawa dominating the play with great offense, and solid defense. New Jersey has the better goalie which is giving New Jersey a chance to win the game, like in game 2 and 3. Ottawa could have beat Jersey by 3 goals in those games if Brodeur wasn't in nets.
From the numbers that i quoted above I think Brodeur is likely to play somewhere in between #2 and #3 tomorrow night. This means he will be tough to beat because he plays his best when his team needs him.
However Ottawa is not Tampa and knows tomorrow's game is critical to win the series, because they don't want it 2-2, and have to win back in Jersey. Ottawa has dominated teams at home in playoffs and only lost 1 game to Pitts, when they fell asleep in the 3rd period.
I am thinking of defenitely making a solid parlay with Ottawa and perhaps Phoenix moneyline in Nba or San Antonio. I also believe again that if Ottawa wins they usually cover the 1.5 line, as they have in every game this playoffs except for one, in which they surrendered a goal with 22 seconds left.
Brodeur cannot play any better and Ottawa will play the same, and I don't believe Devils forwards can take it to the Sens defense which is very solid at home.
Play on Ottawa - parlay with phoenix-Spurs or take 1.5 puck line as it should be around +180 which is great for this team.
