Well we went 2-0 last night for the tips with a goal happening before 9:30 of the first and easily going over 5.5 goals ending in a 7-3 Penguins win. The Penguins blew this thing wide open starting in the 2nd period continuing into the 3rd with 6 unanswered goals. The Penguins now head home up 3-1 in the series. And if the East continues the way it has its looking like a Bruins Penguins final.
Also we have won one of our future bets already as the Sharks Kings game has to go to game 6 now.
Tonight we are treated to a big night for playoff hockey with 3 games on the schedule. First we have the Bruins and the Rangers with the Bruins looking to sweep the Rangers with a win. Then we have the Blackhawks and the Red Wings with the Hawks looking to tie the series at 2 games apiece with a win. And lastly we have the Sharks versus the Kings in game 5 with the series tied 2-2.
So lets get to the NHL Playoff betting tips for Thursday May 23rd:
Bruins vs Rangers: Rangers To Win
Well it looks as though the Bruins will be moving on to the Eastern Conference finals but I don’t think that they will sweep the Rangers. The Rangers are a good, solid team but the Bruins have had their number so far.
Look for the Rangers to win this game at home and at least force a game 5. If the Rangers were to come back and win this series it would mark the third time in NHL history that a team has come back to win the series after being down 3-0. But they need to win a game first and that will start tonight
Bet the Rangers to Win at Bovada for 1.81 odds
Blackhawks vs Red Wings: Blackhawks To Win
The Blackhawks, for the first time this year, are dealing with some adversity after losing the last 2 games 4-1 and 3-1. The Hawks are well the Hawks and they won’t be coming home down 3-1.
This will be a nice bounceback game for the Blackhawks and I am betting that they will win not only this series but the rest of the games and win the series 4-2.
Bet the Blackhawks will win at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv for 1.67 betting odds
Also the odds have changed dramatically for betting the Hawks to win the series and if you were to bet this now the odds are 1.95 at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv. I’m also suggesting this but not as a tip for the night just as a way for you to make some money!!
Sharks vs Kings: Over 4.5 Goals
This has been a great close series in the battle of California. Although with the exception of game 2 which ended in a 4-3 Kings win each game has come in under 4.5 goals.
I expect that to change tonight. The winner of this game will have a strangle hold on the series and neither team can afford a loss here.
This will be a good game with enough goals scored for us to win this bet. I am not sure who will win this bet but I’m fairly certain that it might be the highest scoring game of this series. Bet that this game will have a combined score of over 4.5 goals for 1.74 betting odds at Bovada
