NHL Playoff Puck Picks

Boston (-145) @ Montreal (WINNER!)

This really just boils down to the lesser of 2 evils; I hate the Bruins but I hate all Canadian hockey teams even more. Fuck you Montreal, I hope it's another 125 years before you win a cup. Boston wins on the road and the series is tied at 2 a piece.

Will either team score in the first 10 minutes?

-YES (-115)  (L)

Look for Boston to get on the board quickly and take the French Canadian crowd out of the game early. 

Team to score first:

-BOSTON (-115) (WINNER!)

Boston has to jump on the Habs early if they want to win this one. I expect a goal in the first 5 minutes. 

Anaheim (+120) @ Los Angeles (WINNER!)

Well... It's now official, Bruce Boudreau is a terrible playoff coach. He had the best team in the league in Washington for years and won jack shit. Now he's got another fantastic hockey club in Anaheim and isn't winning jack shit. Bruce you're gunna be coachin mini mites up in Saskatoon if you keep this up big guy. However, I do think the Ducks dig deep tonight, led by Ryan Getzlaf, and scratch out a vital road win. Anaheim has too much scoring power to not go off one of these games.

Ducks total goals scored:

-OVER 2.5 (+105) (WINNER!)

Like I said, the Ducks are going to explode on offense sooner or later. If they don't tonight they're basically done. So I think this is a safe bet. (Boudreau, don't you fuck me you fat bastard.) 

Ducks total shots on goal:

-OVER 30.5 (-125) (L)

I'm going all Ducks tonight if you can't tell.
