The most interesting game of the day
On the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, the NHL quarterfinals will be played in four sets of matches – all with 2-2 draws.
Of the series, only Carolina and Boston’s relegation race has progressed so that the other team has led two match wins (Carolina won its first two home games) over its opponent. All other series have won either alternately (Toronto – Tampa Bay) or alternately in away (Edmonton – Los Angeles and Minnesota – St.Louis).
In terms of home advantage, the Carolina – Boston series differs from the others only in its home wins. Kotiedu has a bigger than average role to play in this series.
Another very significant turning point in this series can be found in being a Boston coach Bruce Cassidy piled all his gold eggs in the same basket for the third match (in fact already in the middle of the second match) when he put together an offensive chain Brad Marchand–Patrice Bergeron–David Pastrnak.
“Perfection Line ” Indeed, the supermarket called Destruction in two home wins won by Boston, hitting six of Boston’s ten goals. In March matches alone, Marchand tapped the powers 3 + 5 = 8.
In addition to the effectiveness of his own offensive game, there is a clear idea of where Carolina coach will be Rod Brind’Amourin keep their attention in the fight. The threat of attack and goal created by Boston Perfection Linen the outside is so modest that keeping its chain under control in Carolina is forcibly close to profit.
The discipline of the game must also improve and the number of freezes must fall, because with force majeure, Boston’s number one fist is almost unstoppable. In Carolina, the power (and stoppability) is distributed much more widely than in Boston.
As for the injuries / line-ups of the teams, it is worth noting that the goalkeeper of Carolina Antti Raanta was able to play already in the fourth game from the main bout he received in the second match. It is therefore to be expected that Raanta will also be in good condition next night.
Raanna’s grips were sharp in the four-game game, despite her team’s loss, so I don’t even count any possible underlying injury in my estimates.
Boston’s biggest question mark before the quadruple match is a key defender who got caught up in the corona protocol Charlie McAvoyn gameplay. Test and quarantine systems are such a big mystery in the NHL that at least I can’t say for myself at this point whether McAvoy will be allowed to play in the match.
Carolina – Boston starts at 2 p.m.
The best bet of the day
Betting again, Carolina is at home in the fifth match, it’s clearly a more interesting party than Boston. The home benefit in this series has been 100% so far, and its importance should not be underestimated.
In addition, Carolina was a rather unlucky coach in the quarter-game after the failure of Brind’Amour’s well-founded goal challenge at the end of the second round. Of the questionable situation, Boston was approved with a 2-2 draw goal and Carolina was allowed to Sebastian Aho got another 2 + 2-minute cool from the damage-high racket. During those times, Boston took the 3–2 lead right at the start of the third set.
If Brind’Amour’s challenge had gone through (as it might have), the third round of the match would most likely have started with Carolina’s 2-1 lead, and the game’s progress from there to be completely second. Everything is sometimes really small.
Also, the direct goal-waiting readings for the match (4.1–2.3) are not worth staring too much this time either, as much of Boston’s goal-long wait was accumulated during all of Carolina’s ice. Playing in a more even game, the match was very even 1.5-1.4.
Perfection Linen despite the threat it poses, I consider Carolina to be a bigger favorite at home than the odds. The best draw of the match is the 1.67 promised final victory for Carolina. The offer is objectively competitive and almost a borderline case with my own 1.70 multiplier limit.
