NHL Playoff Slapshot – May 12th

We should at least have two more four game slates as tonight’s games are all 2-2 series, so let’s root for them to go 7 strong

GAME THOUGHTS

I am sticking with my original picks on all these series, so don’t expect anything, “Wild” tonight if you will from me.

CAROLINA vs BOSTON

Sticking by my pick that Carolina will close things out tonight.

Betting Lean:  Hurricanes ML and Under

LEAFS vs BOLTS

All the Bolts to save themselves on home ice.

Betting Lean:  Tampa and Over

WILD vs BLUES

The best route for the Blues to close it out tonight is through a low scoring game at home.  I’ll be using Binnington in Goal.

Betting Lean:  St. Louis and Under

OILERS vs KINGS

Oilers very much like the Blues need to win with their defense, but their challenge is doing such on the road and this one is the one I am worried about the most.  If Edmonton wins it is with a 5-1 final.  If the Kings win it’s likely in a 3-2 OT spot, either way, riding the under.

Betting Lean:  Under
