NHL 8/4 Playoffs Day 2

[Tulenos]

No luck last night although the Wings looked out of sorts at the beginning, still rolling on after a dismal 0-3 display and a loss of 4 pts along the way. No surprises here, two doggie sels for the series and all road doggies (all bar NYI are shortening, btw) SERIES WIN NJD @ 2.03 *B365* 1 PT B365 slow here as about all other books have them at odds on already. A crazy price. NJD lack in very prolific strikers and yet manage to win games (mostly low-scoring affairs). What they prevail in is the goalie quality first of all and Philly just suck in post-season (usually). STL @ 2.60 *Betinternet* 1 PT A big price in what is a big derby-like encounter and as all other match-up is as easy to find a winner as if you flip a coin. Again, the goalie quality should prevail. And the Blues are doing much better in tight games. THURSDAY MATCHES Ottawa ot bt TOR @ 2.16 *Pinn* 1 PT Derby, massive game. NJD to bt PHILLY @ 2.14 *Pinn* 1 PT See above. NYI to bt TB @ 2.65 *BI, Pinn* 1 PT On paper it should be Tampa all the rage, but not at such odds. It's playoffs for godness' sake. STL to bt SJS @ 2.50 *BI* 1 PT See above, too big a price. That's it. T.
