Florida at Las Vegas 8:00 ET Golden Knights (ML) over Panthers- It is just the way it is this season in sports where the playoffs don’t bring much excitement to America excepting in the home cities. Many have the let us get this over with attitude and like the Heat in Miami the Panthers will not survive in the desert. The anomie that Florida got this far defeating record points making Boston and being so close to elimination and like Miami their season with end after five games in the finals. The Golden Knights skate better and best just not fall into the Panthers taunting and rough play.

Las Vegas at Florida 8:00 ET Panthers (ML) over Golden Knights- Okay, we all saw Vegas dominate the first two period in game 3 and yet end up an overtime loser. The key here is how the OT came about. The Golden Knights were on the brink of going up 3-0 in this series with a 2-1 lead late in the third period they had to be thinking just 2 more minutes and 17 seconds and we will be up 3-0 and that much closer to the Stanley Cup. Then the sudden crash as the Panthers tie it up and of course with Las Vegas now downtrodden and forlorn lose quickly in overtime. Oh what could have been, some spirits are low and some are high. Take the high. Take FLORIDA! | |||||||

Tampa Bay at Florida 8:00 ET Lightning over Panthers- Florida defeated Tampa Bay twice in the final week of the regular season winning 5-1 and 4-0 to gain home ice for this playoff season. In Game 1 (Megabucks winner) the Lightning turned the tables and won 5-4 to negate the Panthers home ice advantage. The Panthers will be without one of their top players as center San Bennett has been suspended for this game for 'boarding' and that will hurt. The fact that Tampa bay is the favorite on the road might be surprising but they are 5-1 in their last six Playoff games as road favorites and are 13-6 in the last 19 meetings.

He says they are faster and skate better and he may be right as they have won the last two meetings by a total score of 9-1. Both of those meetings were on the Panthers ice and they were favored, and they won as favorites, now in the playoffs same two teams, same location and they are underdogs. Tampa goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is 31-10-1 and allows just 2.21 gpg. Tampa Bay is the favorite here and I expect them to win. LIGHTNING STRIKES! | |||||||

Edmonton has dominated this series going 10-4 in the last 14 meetings including 5-1 at Arizona. The Coyotes are money in the other direction and are 0-5 in their last five overall.

Toronto has dropped three of their last four with their win coming in their last home game defeating the Sharks 4-1. Leafs 4-2-1-1 at home. Take TORONTO! | |||||||

Calgary at Winnipeg 10:00 ET Flames over Jets- This is a match that could be decided on Power Plays as Calgary is third in the NHL in penalty kill at 89% while the Jets are last at 63.6 percent. Maybe that is why the Flames who are 2-4on the road are favored here. The goalie stats favor Winnipeg as Conner Hellebuyck allows just 2.38 goals per games with a .930 save percentage while Calgary goalie David Rittich allows 3.01 with just a .90 save percentage. Makes no sense. Take CALGARY! | |||||||

Look at it Edmonton under first year coach Dave Tippet they are 7-1-1 and are the leagues leader in Power Play goals scoring six in 10 attempts. Minnesota has yielded four power play goals in their last three games and the Oilers has only allowed three power play goals in opponents last 31 opportunities.

With the top team in the Eastern Conference getting booted early (Tampa Bay) Boston became the favorite. St. Louis has had a fine run coming from where they did, having the NHL's worst record heading into the New Year. But, calling up goalie Joran Binnington was the key factor for the Blues but the Bruins have veteran Tuukka Rask between the pipes and he will be the difference. Take BOSTON! | |||||||

St. Louis dominated shots on goal in those wins except for the last time out when Boston out shot the Blues 39-21 and still got beat.

St. Louis and Boston 8:00 ET The Blues who can into the NHL in 1967 are 0-13 lifetime in Stanley Cup play including 0-9 against Boston. Remember St. Louis was the worst in December and then called up goalie Jordan Binnington who is 7-3 on the NHL Playoff road and 24-5-1 since being called up. Boston dominated shots on goal 38-20 in Game 1 and I expect the Blues defense to tighten up. Note that the Blues are 9-3 as road underdog and 77-37 in last last 114 vs. Atlanta Conference. There is something about this Blues team as they have come from nowhere and been at their best on the road. I expect more out of them this time out. Take ST. LOUIS! | |||||||

The Islanders who swept their Conference Quarterfinals series (4-0) against Pittsburgh are 3-8 in their last 11 games playing on three days rest and are 0-4 in their last Conference Semifinals games. In head-to-head action the road team is 5-1 in the last six meetings and the Hurricanes are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in New York. Take CAROLINA! | |||||||

Dallas at St. Louis 9:30 ET Blues over Stars- St. Louis is probably the biggest surprise team to make the playoffs as they had the worst record in the NHL in mid-December and have showed that they belong by taking their opening series against Winnipeg. The Blues are 5-2 in their last seven overall and are 6-2 against teams with a winning record. Dallas is 6-1 in the last seven meetings but the home team is 7-3 in the last 10. Take ST. LOUIS! | |||||||

Carolina at Washington 7:30 ET Hurricanes over Capitals- Playing at home the Capitals are a scoring machine netting 14 goals in their three playoff home games as opposed to just three goals scored on their three road playoff losses. This have been of the traditional NFL playoff series with the home team holding serve in all six games.Just a note about playoff action as the Hurricanes are 8-3 in their last 11 Conference Quarterfinals games and it's time to break tradition. Take CAROLINA! | |||||||

Vegas at San Jose 10:00 ET Sharks over Golden Knights- In the Sharks 2-1 overtime Game 6 win at Vegas on Sunday the Golden Knights put 59 shots on goal compared to San Jose's 29. This dominance was wasted as the Sharks won it with a short-handed goal and now can get past Vegas with a home win today. With their short history the Knights have played just one playoff Game 7 a loss to Washington in last seasons' playoffs. Vegas goal Marc-Andre Fleury must be shell-shocked and exhausted are his Easter performance only to fall short. They fall again here. Take SAN JOSE! | |||||||

04-21-19 | Sharks +165 v. Golden Knights | Top | 2-1 | Win | 165 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
San Jose at Vegas 7:00 ET Sharks over Golden Knights- So, I was speaking with a my letter carrier Chris (also a high school student of mine back in the old days) and he attends virtually ever Golden Knights home games and he is so confident the Knights will close out the series that he not only delivered my mail two hours before my usual delivery and he even brought it to my door. Such exuberance and total blindness to what else can or might happen. Let me say this I don't think San Jose is going to get any 'public' action and even the 'sharps' won't take them either 5-12 in their last 12. Take SHARKS! | |||||||
04-20-19 | Jets v. Blues -143 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
Winnipeg at St. Louis 7:00 ET Blues over Jets- Okay this series has gone 5-0 to the visitor and now St. Louis has a chance to change the trend with a win here and close out the Jets. In an NHL oddity the visitor has won 10 of the last 11 meetings between these two and as Winnipeg is 5-0 in their last five trips to the Gateway city and are 13-6 overall in the last 19 meetings. That's why the Blues 'must' win here. Take ST. LOUIS! | |||||||

Toronto at Boston 7:00 ET Maple Leafs over Bruins- These two have alternated wins and are tied 2-2 with the series returning to Boston where the Bruins are 22-10 overall in their last 22 games. But, Boston has trouble posting two consecutive wins as they are 1-4 following a victory and they are 2-5 in their last seven playoff games as a favorite. Toronto has great recovery skills as they are 6-1 after allowing five goals or more. Take the MAPLE LEAFS! |
