After sweeping the New York Islanders, who swept the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Carolina Hurricanes are now in danger of being swept by the Boston Bruins.
It’d be amazing if that happened and then the Bruins got swept in the finals.
It was a close game. The Hurricanes PP let them down again. There was also quite a few players who really should have scored. Rask was a puck sponge at times but there was quite a few chances the Canes should have buried. I mean bloody hell right off the get go Teravainen had an open net and missed.
Hard to see the Canes having what it takes to perform the reverse sweep.
We’ll talk more about that one tomorrow. For today we have Game 3 of the Western Conference final which moves venues as St. Louis play host. This series is tied 1-1.
Here’s our thoughts – and hey as the NHL action dwindles down, be sure to check out Graemes golf betting tips site. PGA Championship Tips were just posted! And he’ll be posting tips there all Summer long.
Sharks vs Blues Game 3 Betting Tips:
Graeme: Sharks did it again – opened with a big win, then dropped the second game. Against the Knights they went to Vegas and lost two in a row. They went to Colorado and won however in the last series.
The Blues had that bizarre series with the Jets where neither team seemed to be able to win at home until the final game . Even against the Stars they dropped two here so home ice isn’t the big factor.
I feel like it’s a statement game for the Sharks. They want to come in and make a statement tonight and keep the Blues on edge. They should be up for this one. 0.5u on Sharks to win incl OT/SO
Scott: The Sharks are in familiar territory here. In the two series heading up to this point they won the first game only to lose the next.
The Sharks aren’t getting the depth scoring they will need to make a push to the finals. The Blues are getting depth scoring but nothing from their big guns.
This is a crucial game in the series and with it being in St. Louis I would like to think its the Blues who should win. But with the way the Sharks have played this postseason its anyones guess. Game 1 hit 9 goals, game 2 hit 6. I’ll go with the over here as predicting a winner is tricky.
Over 5.5 incl OT/SO – 0.5u
