Last night we saw TB knock out Carolina of the playoffs and now move on to play the winner of the Boston/NYI series in the Stanley Cup Semi-Finals. Another defensive struggle between both of those teams as we saw the Lightning impose their will on Carolina. Even though Carolina was the number seed in the Central, it was the defending Stanley Cup Champions who went 3-0 on the road in this series. The way they are playing, it won't matter who wins the Boston/NYI series.

Vegas/Colorado was very similar of the Lightning/Canes game, a defensive struggle but had more scoring chances. Even though Fleury allowed a soft goal to end the first period, he was outstanding in the second period and kept his team in the game. This series has 7 games written all over it and I am sure the Montreal Canadiens will welcome the rest!

Now comes tonight with the NYI looking to eliminate the Bruins and move on to the Stanley Cup Semi-Finals to face the Lightning. We only have one game tonight in the NHL playoffs so all eyes will be on this one! The Islanders will get the best effort of this series from a battle tested Boston team. It will be interesting to see who starts in goal for Boston with Rask playing injured all of these playoffs. Regardless, as I have said here over and over, being outshot and outchanced will eventually catch up to you when you face teams that are complete in every facet of the game. Can the Islanders finish the series on homeice tonight? The last thing they want is to go back to Boston for a Game 7, where we all know anything can happen in a G7.

Going under the total is still the way to go with unders hitting at a 33-26 clip so far! But in the 2nd round over/unders are 9-9. Home/road teams 33-29 so far during the playoffs.

Playing tonight -

Boston/NYI u5.5(-132)(2 Units)
I am leaning to the Bruins, line opened at -139 for Boston, I will watch the line movement as the day goes and come back later to post a side in this game.

GL tonight!
