Stanley Cup Game 5
New York @ Los Angeles (-175) (WINNER!)
Did you watch game 4? If you did you know why I’m picking the Kings to win. If you didn’t watch, just trust me. To the Rangers credit they played on an even tilt and went toe to toe with the Kings for almost half the game. 6:27 into the 2nd period the Rangers scored their 2ndgoal and took a 2-0 lead. At this time the shots were 14-13 in favor of New York. From that point on (33 minutes of play) the Kings outshot the Rangers 26-7. At the end of the game the shots were 41-19 in favor of LA. The Kings are more than likely going to come out with the same level of intensity they left last game with. The game is at home and the Stanley Cup will be in the building. The Kings demonstrated their superiority over New York last game more than any other game this series. Rangers’ fans can’t even say that Lundqvist stole the game. He got beat and the puck came to a stop because it was moving slowly and there was a big ass pile of snow. I think LA walks away with a dominating win tonight and raises the Cup in front of their home crowd.
Year Ending Bonus Prop Picks
Well hockey fans, it’s been real. Since tonight is the last game of the year for the NHL, I’m gunna do you all a solid and make some quality prop picks.
LA Total Shots On Goal:
OVER 33.5 (-120) (WINNER!)
This is basically free money. LA has broken the 40 shot mark in every game of this series except game 3.
Will either team score in the first 10 minutes?
Yes (-105) (WINNER!)
Even though this series features 2 of the best goalies in the world I think someone will score early. The Rangers will be looking to fuck with the Kings’ game plan in any way and scoring an early goal is the best way. The Kings will be looking to win a Stanley Cup and an early goal could very easily set the tone for the game.
Player with most points:
NY - Ryan McDonagh vs LA - Drew Doughty (-155)
There’s no doubt McDonagh has established himself amongst the top defensemen in the league during these playoffs. Doughty isn’t amongst the top; he IS the top. I fully expect Doughty to take over tonight.
Player to score a goal:
Drew Doughty (+450) – The Cup is on the line and Doughty will be on the ice for half the game. That’s not an exaggeration either, he typically plays 26-29 minutes a night. He’s the most talented player anytime he’s on the ice. He has an arsenal of great shots ranging from his quick release slapshot to his highly accurate wrister.
Jarret Stoll (+650) – Stoll’s been clutch for the Kings in these playoffs. The lines +650, why throw down $10 and see what happens.
Derek Stepan (+400) – Stepan’s been as solid as anyone could be for the Rangers. He’s been a contributor throughout these playoffs. If the Rangers hope to win tonight it will surely need to involve Stepan.
