Total Shots on goal - Carolina Hurricanes
Over 26.5 shots



Great chance here to take edmonton & Hedge with this bet, Pinnacle oddsmakers are predicting that edmonton will get more shots than carolina... Carolina will come on strong & clearly needs more than 26.5 shots if they plan to win, also, great chance at OVERTIME which would almost guarantee the over.....

I need edmonton to win bad but I will take a shot at this prop......


Wow, I hit this at -111 and it is now -137

I'm pulling for Edmonton. They're playing with a ton of heart right now. Could have easily given up.
 

And if the Road Warrior says it, it must be true..

The stats clearly favor the Canes., I think the home team is 11-2 in game 7s of the stanley cup final. A part of me says Canes but my gut feeling is that is Emonton scores 1st they will win. I made a small play on EDM scores 1st @5dimes and EDM for the game.

I know a lot of people here don't bet hockey...so make sure you are making the wager you want. Its real easy to make the wrong wager by accident and find out later that you lost..
For example if you want Car to win make sure that you didn't accidently bet on CAR
-' 1st 60 min, because if it goes to overtime you just lost $$... and be careful w/ totals, make sure to read the rules at the book you play...JMO

Go Edmonton!!

OK, I have read the thoughts provided by our hockey experts and have made a decision based on the input which has been much appreciated. Appears that on a neutral rink, this game would be a pick and the momentum and confidence certainly is on the side of the Oilers. But this is a Game 7 and although the home team may have an advantage, the -154 is still too steep and the value lies with the Oilers at +144. That being said, however, the total intrigues me more, as in a Game 7, protection, care and defense are often the keys to success and noticing Carolina has been scoreless the last 4 periods plus overtime has caught my attention and don't believe that is a fluke, but perhaps an adjustment by the Oiler defense. Hence,

Under 5.5 (-129) For Complete Game

Anyone with thoughts why I shouldn't do this, please don't hesitate to comment.

Ted, I am a lean to the under aswell.... the referee situation has me worried with 'magoo' who calls everything, that being said, I beleive you are on the right side.

IF the Oilers win this game.....

CHRIS PRONGER, is an ABSOLUTE LOCK to win the Conn Smythe at odds of +200....

the only way this woudnt occur would be if Pisani gets a Hat-rick or another overtime or huge game winning goal, then he might get it.....

If Carolina wins the game it will be BRINDAMOUR at odds of +150, or perhaps Cam Ward if he steals the game.

Just got down on the Canes -145 at Pinny. I will take the home team, I think come out with a much different mindset tonight. They came up big in game 7 against the Sabres and I think they do again tonite. In my mind also a big ? as to how the goalie for Edmonton will play....

Guys, in elimination games it is under or nothing...

Teams come out and play very tight defensively as neither team wants to give the edge or first goal to the other...

In a game 7 under is the only way to go...

We are not going to see the Carolina team from game 6, believe me...

It is game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals...Something you have waited for your whole life there will be no need for any pep talks or motivational speeches...

This is what most of these players have dreamed about since they were playing pee wees....

What happened to all this momentum people were absolutely convinced the Oilers would have??? Trust me predicting momentum in hockey will just make you pull your hair out. Momentum is built play-by-play in hockey. Oilers could get it back with a goal, but this just looks like the better team slowly fitting the noose.
