If the Bruins expect to get back in this series they need to play close to the vest in this Game 5 at home. Cam Ward is playing as well as any goalie left in the playoffs and scoring more than 2 goals on him right now is not easy. That means the Bruins need to play a more defensive style and not allow guys like Stall and Jokinen to get as much room as they have the past couple of games. I expect the Bruins to win tonight in a very tight checking and low scoring game 2-1!
Sport:
NHL
Game:
Anaheim vs. Detroit
Date/Time:
5/10/2009 5:05PM EST
Pick:
Detroit
Reason:
The Red Wings are obviously laying a lot of wood today, but all you need to do is look at the last 5 periods to know what to expect in this early evening matchup. The Red Wings outshot Anaheim 35-9 over the final 2 periods of Game 3 and then they scored 6 on a goalie who was virtually unbeatable before Game 4. There is no way that Anaheim will win in Detroit today because they will be outplayed for 60 minutes from the drop of the puck and even a goalie standing on his head can''t win this game. Detroit wins 4-1!
