It says punch the Preds ticket for their first Stanley Cup appearance. In this situation the Preds have a 63.5% chance of taking care of business considering all rounds here. Where they are -145 that covers the percentage. Although as you know that is a bit juicy for me and would prefer you play a -1 line to make your percentage much better by making the Preds into a slight dog.

So history says take the Preds, Lippsman says take the Preds on the -1 line unless you can play it at -140 (At Pinny at 8:00 AM ET right now)

Good luck.

Well history told you the Preds were going to the cup last night. What does it say about the Pens closing things out tonight? You would think the Sens would boot strap up and send things back to Pitt ? Well......

First of all there isn't a huge sample base for this since things went back to 2-2-1-1-1 for all series a number of years ago.

Bonus history here......93-94, All series were best-of-seven with home ice rotating on a 2-2-1-1-1 basis, with the exception of matchups between Central and Pacific Division teams. These matchups were played on a 2-3-2 basis to reduce travel. In a 2-3-2 series, the team with the most points could choose to start the series at home or on the road. The Eastern Conference champion faced the Western Conference champion in the Cup Final.

1994-95 - Same as 1993-94, except that in first, second or third-round playoff series involving Central and Pacific Division teams, the team with the better record had the choice of using either a 2-3-2 or a 2-2-1-1-1 format. When a 2-3-2 format was selected, the higher-ranked team also had the choice of playing games 1, 2, 6 and 7 at home or playing games 3, 4 and 5 at home. The format for the Stanley Cup Final remained 2-2-1-1-1.

Hard to believe but back in 74-75 the Preliminary round the series was just best of 3

But anyway I digress......

The Pens winning is a flip of the coin. For the Semifinals it's 50% and for all rounds it's just 52.5%. So the Sens getting +135 is more than enough to take a spin on them.

History says just watch and enjoy the game. Lippsman says take the Sens plus the +135
