In case you missed it yesterday – we did an article on the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. We provided betting tips and analysis for that. Those prop bets usually have soft odds and are easy to make some cash on.
With the Ducks vs Blackhawks series set up in the West – we’re still waiting to see how the East works out. Tonight will see the Montreal Canadiens take on the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6.
Tampa Bay dominated the series initially, going up 3-0. It looked like the Habs were down and out. It was pretty much accepted that they had no offense, and could not score the goals necessary as they didn’t have anyone who could put it in the net.
Then on May 7th, 6 different players scored as the Habs defeated the Lightning 6-2. Montreal would follow that up 2 days later with a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, outshooting the Lightning and hammering the post a lot of times.
Now we go into tonights game, in Tampa Bay. Montreal need to do it again if they want to keep their playoff dreams alive. If they do – then they will go back home and host the Lightning on May 14th.
It’s going to be an amazing game.
Lightning vs Canadiens Betting Tips:
Scott: Game 6 with the Lightning holding a 3-2 series lead. The Habs have won the last two games after being down 3-0. The Lightning are going to be without Ryan Callahan who had his appendix removed. As much as I want the Habs to win this game, I’m not sure it will happen. But because of the value and their play the past two games, it’s worth it to make the bet. Habs Win for 2.40
Graeme: This is the type of game where legitimately I just want to go to sleep, and wake up when it’s over. Instead I’ll probably hit up a bar and just fire back the beers and hopefully they will be celebratory beers. I agree with Scott – 2.40 is great value considering it’s a 50/50 game. Habs win.
Habs win, I really believe that. Under or Over though guys?
