The Rangers rest period before the NHL semi-finals was one day.
Will Igor stop Šestjork’s ruling mesatr? AOP / USA TODAY Sports
The most interesting game of the day
As expected, the goalkeepers rose to the forefront in the NHL Western Conference Colorado-Edmonton Finals, which began last night. As well as Colorado Darcy Kuemper that Edmonton Mike Smith was bombed in the middle of an 8-6 match. Of course, Kuemper is partly due to injury.
Goalkeepers can even be expected to play a decisive role in the NY Rangers – Tampa Bay final series of the Eastern Conference. Admittedly the opposite of the West, for both Rangers Igor Šestjorkin that Tampa Andrei Vasilevski are among the top watchmen in the series. Of the goalkeepers who have played more than ten matches in the playoffs, Vasilevski is number one in terms of defensive percentage and number two in Šestjork.
In any case, the Rangers and Tampa series can be expected to be, quite interestingly, the exact opposite of the Colorado-Edmonton series based on the scoring competition.
The strengths of both Rangers and Tampa can be found in the defensive play and the tactics of the teams are based mainly on a safe goalkeeper and a solid defense. In the regular season, the three teams encountered an average of 4.33 goals per match.
There are several interesting points to meet as a couple. In addition to the emphasized role of goalkeepers and defensive play, I myself put the coaching of both teams at the center. I appreciate both the Rangers Gerard Gallantin that Tampa Jon Cooperin right among the elite coaches in the series. The name of both under the roster means close and uncompromising team play as well as tactically sensible solutions. Betting, this also points in the direction of inferiority.
In Finnish terms, the encounter between Rangers and Tampa in the Eastern finals means that only one blue-and-white player is aiming for the Stanley Cup on this side of the chart.
Rangersin Kaapo Kakko has played good playoffs so far in his team ‘s “youth chain” together Filip Chytilin and Alexis Lafrenieren with. For the time being, Kako has 1 + 2 power points and the plus-minus statistic is -1. In the playing time comparison, Kako has so far dropped the 12th largest square in the Rangers with an average ice time of 12.30 per match.
The biggest line-up issue for the opening match is Tampa’s top hat Brayden Point playing condition. Point was injured in the quarter-finals in mid-May against Toronto and has not played since. However, rumors say the electric attacker has almost recovered.
The most significant factor that distinguishes teams in the opening match can be found in their recovery time from the previous match. The Rangers will face next night’s game just one day off from the Carolina Series Sevens, while Tampa have been able to recharge and focus on this game after nine days of dropping Florida straight in four games.
While the sharpness of Tampanka may not be immediately the best possible level, it certainly has a significant resting advantage to play in this opening game.
Knowing Gallant, however, the Rangers hardly leave this game mentally in any intermediate way, even if it is very typical of human nature.
In terms of power relations, I’ve actually been more or less Rangers-positive all spring, but I still managed to underestimate the team against Carolina. The Rangers are an underdog against Tampa, but I’m still not bending over to any of the giant Tampa big favorites. The Rangers are a very cohesive and hungry team.
The huge good precision confirmations made by Rangers at the end of the transfer window also deserve a lot of attention. Andrew Copp, Frank Vatrano and Tyler Motte. The trio brings the Playoffs hardness they need to a young team.
Materially, Tampa is a little ahead of the Rangers, but in terms of role-playing and gameplay, New Yorkers don’t lose out on a favorite. In addition, the very short formula for a playoff playoff success team is a great goalkeeper (Šestjorkin), one dazzling puck defender (Adam Fox) and effective superiority (Rangers has the second-best 32.5% of the playoffs).
In the regular season, the Rangers won all three confrontations.
Ny Rangers – Tampa Bay starts at 3.07 p.m.
The best bet of the day
In betting, Veikkaus is leaning so hard on Rangers in the opening match that he is forced to take a stand for Tampa, although still sportingly the Rangers are kind of the “hot” team.
Veikkaus’ odds differ from the main market in all basic categories (ML, 60min and -1.5 goals) by at least a tenth, so that Veikkaus offers the highest odds in the world for every Tampa success.
As a clue to these, I raise Tampa’s actual playing time winnings by a factor of 2.38. The promised 1.79 of less than 5.5 goals is also a small clue.
