Hey, does anybody have the stat for who wins (home vs away) in game 7 of NHL series?

A total of 116 series have gone to seven games since the League introduced the best-of-seven format in 1939. The home team has won 73 (63%), the visiting team 43 (37%).

Here the link to the full story and some news re: tonight's game:

I liked the Flames before the series and I like 'em tonight...

It doesn't matter if it's NHL, MLB, or NBA when there is a 7 game series and one team is ahead 3-1 (A good example of this may be Phoneix in the NBA) Then the team that was down 1-3 ties the series up 3-3 that team will win that series.

I know it sounds hard to follow, but like I said PHX fits this system. So what them, if the win the next game and tie it up 3-3 it's a very high percentage (I think around 90%) that they will win game 7. Not necessarily cover, but win.

Just in the past few years this has come up and I haven't seen it lose yet. The most memorable was in MLB when Bos was down 3-1 against NYY and they tied it up and won game 7. Just keep an eye out for this with the NBA & NHL playoffs going on...

Thanks guys I'm looking hard at picking the Flames 2night

The thing about 2night's game though is you're not getting great $ if you pick Calgary (-170), so....

Take them at -1 and get a little plus money back.

Hey guys is this true from the article?:
road clubs are 10-4 since 1990

My interpretation of that is in the game 7s decided in OT, road teams are 10-4...

Because I know there have definitely been a lot more 7 game series since 1990 than 14, but 14 OT games during that time would be reasonable (about 1 a year).

I do like Calgary tonight, but won't put a lot of $$$ on them...I think the only way Ana. wins this is with a bunch of PP (6 of their last 9 goals have been on the PP).

Game 7s traditionally have fewer calls and they let the players decide the games...who knows this year, but I expect fewer calls in this game.

Cal always bounces back strong after a loss as well.

The under looks good as well...with 2 goalies playing very well right now.

Yeah I think you're right. I'm w/the Flames 2night. Go Flames.

Splitting ML and -1.5

Notice the following basic stats:
Calgary is 32-12 at home
Anaheim is 18-26 on the road

I like those odds on Calgary in a game 7.
