Bruins to score 1st (-140). Love it.
Steep price compared to the usual line for these but as far as I'm concerned it should be closer to -180.
Bruins shook off their long layoff rust relatively quickly last game and regained their playoff form shortly into the 2nd period. They sport a +9 goal differential in the playoffs this year with Rask only giving up 7 first period goals. Blues have started slow for the most part all post season and with that strong finish in game 1 by Boston I feel that momentum carries into game 2. Bruins smell blood and are laser focused. They outshot the Blues 30-12 over the final two periods in game 1 and again I expect that stat to remain lopsided to start this game. A lot to like about this pick.
Bruins have a +26 goal differential this post season and no other team in double digits. Series shouldn't go more than 5 games.
Hope I'm a help.
