Play of the Day -- Tampa Bay @ Ottawa OVER -- Readers of my posts will know that i very rarely if ever play an over/under, and that's because there are so many unknown factors going into the decision (# of powerplays, empty net situations, etc.). But that being said, and I almost expect a comment by LeeK lol, i think this is one of the situations where the OVER is the prudent play. Both keepers have GAA over 3, and save percentages in the .800s (for those new to hockey, this is near brutal for an NHL keeper). They are ranked 45 (Roloson) and 43 (Anderson) among 47 goalies with enough starts to be counted as a 'regular' goalie. But that is the D. Look at the scorers: Tampa Bay = Lecavalier, Stamkos, St. Louis, Bergeron. Ottawa = Alfreddson, Spezza, Karlsson, Michalek ... these players are at or near the top of the NHL's scoring (points and goals) leaders. Snipers against dreadful goaltending = lots of goals. TAKE: OVER 5.5
