29/5/15 NHL Best Bet Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers predictions, analysis, picks

Game 7 Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers preview and pick.

What a series it has been so far! Some defensive games and others with more than 10 goals. A lot of away wins and a lot of upsets. This series is so unpredictable that your basic "go to" betting statistics go out the window when considering betting here. Contrary to the bookies belief, I don't think home ice really does a hell of a lot for the Rangers here. BUT, Lundqvist and the fact they scored 7 goals past Ben Bishop on Tuesday night sends a pretty strong message. This game is a complete toss up, but with the form from Tuesday running into tonight and a packed out Madison Square Garden, the Rangers get it done and win the East..


PICK: New York Rangers -1.5 @ 3.30 (+230)

5/26/15 Game 5 New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning prediction, preview and pick.

New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning Game 6 Preview, Pick, Analysis, Prediction..

The Rangers head to Tampa Bay to play a must win game 6 to keep their Stanley Cup campaign alive. Tampa Bay got the 3-2 series lead away from home sneaking 2 goals to none in a low scoring game in New York City. However, last time these two teams played in Tampa at Amelia Arena, New York obliterated the home team, scoring relentlessly to end it 5-1. You can't deny the talent of the New York Rangers and the difficulty of getting a puck past Hendrik Lundqvist. I like this Rangers team in a backs against the wall situation and give them the edge at good odds...


PICK: New York Rangers win @ 2.20 (+120)

24/5/15 NHL Best Bet Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers predictions, analysis, picks

Game 5 Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers preview and pick.




The first 4 games of this series has seen the puck in the back of the net 28 times in an offensive slaughter. Ben Bishop has been cold as ice (mind the pun) lately, letting 5 goals slip by him in 2 games consecutively. The over has won 3 times on the trot and when something is winning consistently, the key is to just jump on board and enjoy the ride. Even though these games have been high scoring the bookies are still reluctant to shift the total line. Both teams will be talking nothing but defense between games, but both teams have shown they're vulnerable to giving upwards of 6 goals in a game...


PICK: TAMPA BAY/ NY RANGERS OVER 5 @ 1.95(-105)

21/5/15 NHL Best Bet New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning predictions, analysis, picks

Game 3 New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning preview and pick.

The games between these two have always been expected to include goals and a lot of them. Aside from a mediocre offensive showing which saw the Rangers win 2-1 in game 1. Game 2 and 3 had 8 and 11 goals respectively. The line is still sitting at over/under 5 goals and I think you'd be crazy to not continue riding that streak. Both teams are scoring regularly and a tight series always offers the chance of overtime or a sneaky open net goal.

PICK: Tampa Bay/NY Rangers OVER 5 @ 1.90(-110)

NHL Best Of The Day 5/16/15

Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final starts in New York after the Rangers came back from 3-1 to end the Capitals season.

The Rangers start heavy favourites against Tampa Bay given the confidence they carry into this one and the advantage playing in the Garden boasts.

However, Tampa Bay have been solid all season long and come into this one with far more rest than the Rangers. Additionally, TB are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings and 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Getting $2.23 for a white hot, more rested team that has no problem traveling seems a gift.

 The long 7 game series took its toll on the New York Rangers and will show tonight!


PICK: Tampa Bay Lighting - WIN @ 2.23
