Well folks, we are finally here. Game 7 of the first round. Did any of you watch that game last night between the AVALANCHE and the STARS? What a game! Game 7’s often feature tension and stress for both teams. Without being hyperbolic, there is NO tomorrow for the loser. Winnipeg has yet to really prove themselves, as they have led the league in wins practically wire-to-wire and winning the cursed President’s Trophy. Jet goalie Connor Hellebuyck has yet to win THAT big game. Even during the 4 Nations Tournament Hellebuyck was unable to defeat Jordon Binnington of the BLUES. Everybody knows that goalies go through some really big-time head games. Nobody expected the BLUES to be in a first round game 7, much less even get to the PLAYOFFS. Throughout the year the JETS have only lost 7 games in regulation on home ice. In this series the road team has yet to win a game. Look for the BLUES to win tonight on the road in a massive upset.
Today’s PICK — St. Louis BLUES +130 — LOSS — Rough
