NHL Playoffs Slapshot – 4/20

All four games tonight went the way of the road team in the first meeting, which on paper would present to us a generational flip-flop parlay chance here for taking all four home teams tonight.

Except that means betting on the Leafs again…

A good amount of high scoring games again last night and I would suspect we continue to see high scores in these first few games until things get really tight and then the 2-1 and 3-2 type games dominate.

Tampa vs Toronto

Toronto just had no answer for the Tampa stars and has to decide if they want to try and pray they can win a 1 goal game or try to just out score Tampa.  They would be wise to try and outscore Tampa IMO because they’re not gonna win the close games with the way their buttholes pucker up.

NY Rangers vs New Jersey Devils

I predicted this series being a Rangers win in 7.  Tonight the Devils play on their heads and they are my top overall stack on the DFS slate.

  • Hughes – Bratt – Meier (PP1), with Palat as NJD2 value

Seattle vs Colorado

Colorado will win, and probably this series comes down to who wins game 3, but do not be shocked if this is an OT game and the lowest scoring one on the slate.

Winnipeg vs Vegas

No concerns here for me as I ride my Vegas futures straight into the ground, none at all.  Honestly, I was shocked how well Winnipeg came out, so lets see if Vegas can right the ship tonight and get their DEF involved.

 

I like going with 3 C or 3 D tonight…  That’s where the stars will shine the most IMO today.
