Vancouver Canucks (+107) at Boston Bruins (-116)
The Pick: Bruins -116
Bruins vs. Canucks Betting Overview
It’s a good thing that aggregate scoring is not used in the Stanley Cup. The only good thing about an 8-1 win for the Bruins is that they have won a game in the series. They needed to win and also to respond with Nathan Horton being knocked motionless in Game 3. Mark Recchi scored two goals and the Canucks couldn’t rebound. Boston will look to even the series on Wednesday at the TD Garden in Boston.
Boston Bruins News and Betting Tips for Wednesday, June 08, 2011
Recchi became the oldest at 43 yrs of age to score a playoff goal in the Stanley Cup Finals in Game 2 and he followed that up with two more in Game 3. Goaltender Tim Thomas stopped 40 shots and was not afraid of Henrik Sedin when he skated inside the crease. Boston center David Krejci, who had a goal and an assist in Game 3, leads all NHL players with 11 postseason goals. Krejci has scored 10 goals and set up nine others in his last 14 games. It was the first period of play when Aaron Rome leveled Horton and had to be carried off the ice that the team made their presence known. Horton will be out the rest of the series with a concussion and will be replaced by rookie Tyler Seguin. Boston, which went 2-for-4 on the power play in Game 3, is now 3-for-13 with the man advantage in the series. Prior to Recchi’s first goal of the night, the Bruins had scored just once in their last 24 power-play opportunities.
Vancouver Canucks News and Betting Tips for Wednesday, June 08, 2011
Vancouver looked as if they thought they could waltz in to Boston and make it an easy series. Now that they have had their bell rung it is going to take some effort to get it back. Rome will be out with his exchange with Horton and defenseman Dan Hamhuis is out with an earlier injury. One of the oddities is that Henrik Sedin has not taken a shot in this entire series but had one goal and 11 assists in the previous series against the San Jose Sharks. Vancouver right wing Jannik Hansen netted his team’s lone goal on Monday. After scoring in the Canucks’ first two games of the playoffs, the 25-year-old Denmark native went 18 straight contests without a goal. Goalie Roberto Luongo, a Vezina Trophy finalist, permitted all 8 goals in Game 3. Vancouver, which went 0-for-8 in Game 3, is just 1-for-16 with the man advantage in this series. In addition, the Canucks permitted a pair of shorthanded goals on Monday.
Our Canucks vs. Bruins Pick and Predictions
Now that these teams know they can beat each other the series turns into a different game. Vancouver tried to goon the Bruins when they flattened Horton and that may backfire on them. Luongo and Thomas are a wash as to which is a better goalie. Our pick for your bet in Boston -116 to win.
Our Pick: Bruins -116
