Jaroslav Halak is going to try to stop the leagues sharpest team with Ovechkin and Backstrom in the front. You can watch the battle on espn360.com or gamecenter.nhl.com NHL live stream. The Capitals have been great this year, just as expected, and won the President Trophy with most points in the NHL after the regular season. The Capitals also scored 318 goals, which is more than hundred more goals than Canadiens did. On the other hand did the Capitals let in a lot of goals, mostly because of their goalie issues. Varlamov and Theodore weren’t that good during the season, and they have to step it up in the playoffs. But the Capitals have instead relied on their offense, and on the production of Ovechkin, Backstrom and Semin. Jaroslav Halak took over the crease from Carey Price in the Montreal Canadiens, and it is now up to the Slovakian goalie to stop the offensive powers of the Washington Capitals. It has went well before, and the Canadiens actually won two out of four games against the Capitals this season, but the Capitals did nevertheless score 15 goals in those four games. In this series can we expect a lot of goals, since the Capitals very rarely score less than three goals and they leave a lot of space for counter attacks when they are thinking offensively. As I said do I believe in a lot of goals, and I think the Capitals will go out and score a couple of fast goals in the first game. My guess is 5-3 to the Capitals and the entertaining game starts at 7:00 PM and is shown on gamecenter.nhl.com and espn360.com NHL live stream. Start: 04/15/2010 16:30
Two rivals in the Northeast Divison clash in the first stage of the playoffs. They have played each other six times this season, and we can now look forward to a couple of more in a high tempo. You can watch NHL live stream on espn360.com or gamecenter.nhl.com. The Boston Bruins is the team who will come in to the series with a small advantage if you look at the previous games between these two teams. The Bruins have won four out of six games but the Sabres have been the best team overall and ended up on a third place in the Eastern Conference, thanks to the win in the Northeast Division. Ryan Miller in the Sabres net may be the difference between the teams. Miller has been fantastic and he is one of the best goalies in the NHL for sure. The Bruins don’t have the same quality. Tim Thomas was the last season’s best goalie, but he has been brutal this year, and the backup Tuukka Rask has taken over Thomas’ spot prior to the playoffs. But Rask can tremble in a lot of games and he is not a goalie who wins the big important games on his own. But he will help his team to stay in the games, and the Sabres are not a team that spit in goals like the Washington Capitals for example. We can count on close games with just a few goals. The Bruins have actually had an easy time for the Sabres even in playoffs. They have won five out of six playoff series between the teams. The history won’t decide the outcome; it is up to the players to take care of this. The Sabres are a little bit better on the paper but the Bruins are full of self confidence since the battle for a playoff spot. It will be very close so I just decide to go for the bet on a few goals. You can see the game on gamecenter.nhl.com or espn360.com NHL live stream. | ||
