Game 7s tonight and conference finals

[guaranteeed]

I think Crosby is hurting still, but at 60 or 70% he's still the 4th best player on the ice after Backstrom, Geno, and AO

The caps have been the better team in this series in 5 of 6 games and they have the depth, but the line I'm seeing at -200 seems really high. Value is with the pens but the caps have every chance, they have proven their depth is a huge mismatch, and Trotz shuffling the lines has only strengthened that

Other series is a lot closer, I would lean Anaheim tonight, they have been able to shut down McDavid with Kesler hard matching and with the last change that will continue tonight. I

I think their depth on defense will help tonight, the Oilers are thin and sekera being out makes their 3rd pairing a huge liability, and the 2nd pairing is a huge issue too. If the Getzlaf line gets any time away from klefbom and Larsson they should feast

Both should be close, and in game 7 anything can happen but both home teams should win barring special teams or bad goaltending being an issue

Nashville really wants Edmonton, just the way their top 4 d are set up they would be able to match both the McDavid and draisatl lines with Subban or Josi. Also their strength is in depth and physical play, which is like for like with Anaheim

Ottawa to be honest I'm shocked are here, I would have had them 4th out of that Division. Karlsson has been incredible, for 25-30 minutes a night the sens control play solely because of him, doing it with his injury issues is very impressive. They need the pens to get through to have a chance, I would have both as favorites over them, but Washington a 4 or 5 game series would be in play.

Gary Bettman is more nervous than anyone tonight and going forward, he'd be happy with the caps or the pens from the east, and prefers Anaheim from the west

But Edmonton v Ottawa on boy, not good for the marketing department in the us to try and get casuals to watch

 

[B.A.R.]

Just for that reason I am hoping for Edmonton and Ottawa.

Game 7's in NHL and MLB cannot be beat. I wish the start times were 7:00 and 10:30 though so the overlapping and OT potential doesn't ruin things perhaps.

 

[ScopeY]

I agree teed, think caps can close it, felt that way past 2 games unfortunately, if they do win, it'll be nice to see ovechkin in the finals (stanley cup finals ). But the price is high.

Karlsson is an animal. I really don't know how he's been doing it, fooled me

Its so idiotic I don't get it, ducks games this playoffs had usually been 1030 est anyway

With how close these are too I think ot happens in at least one

Especially with these games being important moments for the league. O

Onone hand you have ovechkins best chance at a cup, potentially going over his biggest rival. The two biggest stars in the league the last 10 years

Then in the other McDavid is the future, he's already probably better than both of them and it's his first game 7

If pens caps goes in to ot the first period is missed and it's so unavoidable

Ya it's been amazing to see him, he's always been at the top end of guys but in think he's created a gap over the next group. He's in the argument for best player outside McDavid

 

[guaranteeed]

Forgot to mention but the caps do have Mr game 7 Justin Williams

7-0 in game 7s with 14 points

Ovie has 6 points in a 3-6 record

Pens are 3-2 with this group, Malkin with 6 points and Sid with 3

Matt Cullen with the pens is 5-0 with 3 points

 

[KJ]

Soooo looking forward to these tonight, can't imagine the pain if Pitt or Oilers (especially) lose

 

[Gandolf]

Caps are out of excuses, its now or never. In a twelve months where the Cavs and Cubs both won it all, would be fitting to see them make it too to the promised land.

On the other hand, the evil empire Patriots won it all, and the Yankees appear to be back on the rise, so the Pens could spoil things as well.

In Pens history, the team that has forced game 7 by winning game 6 is 14-1. The lone exception, Caps losing game 7 in 2009.

OT is running at about +275 for each game. Might be worth a play for both games.

 

[edou1x]

yeah games 7 can be beaten in NHL:Underdogs in G7 that didn’t make the postseason last year vs teams that made postseason last year are 29%ROI for their opponents

D and o:team = po:team and o:team = p6o:team and o:team != p7o:team and Sum(playoffs@team and season)[team and season -1] = 0 and Sum(playoffs@o:team and season)[o:team and season -1] > 0 and playoffs = 1

sample is small but best team (fave) + experience seems to be enough

 

[B.A.R.]

Good stuff guys...

 

[Zeke]

OT is running at about +275 for each game. Might be worth a play for both games.

I was riding the OT train for awhile, playing each game going to OT. It seemed to work better in the first round than the second round. Curious what percentage of game 7's have gone to OT.

 

[guaranteeed]

Not sure how Ovechkin is your 7th forward in ice time in an elimination game

 

[RetroVK]

Sad for Edmonton. I like the way they play hockey. I find it entertaining.

 

[KJ]

That series was great, hoping for the same Ducks/Preds...Oilers have to feel like such shit but the future is so bright, kinda nice to see that again as that's what some of us grew up with
