Every total set at 5.5 for game one

I know it's the playoffs but the first couple of games are usually a little more wide open and it get much tighter as the series move along. I will probably parlay a couple of alterative totals at over 4.5 as a 2-2 tie is guaranteed a winner. Now just to pick out 2 or 3 that can get there?

Three I am looking at are Col/Dall....Ott/Tor and Mon/Wash all at over 4.5 pays +120.

Any thoughts on some of these totals? 

It's the greatest time of the year for us hockey fans. This years cup run is as wide open as I can remember. Some epic matchups to start the fun!

NHL.com has it's fun bracket challenge up and running again this year, go check it out. You can add as many brackets as you want. It adds to the fun. Can anyone pick a perfect bracket? 

Like Col/Dall and Mon/Wash +4.5 the most, but I tend to bet 1st Rd Overs on all games, mainly 1st 4 games of each series 

defiantly leafs and Ottawa 

Sens-Leafs combined for 12 goals total in the three meetings this year. Ottawa swept the three regular season meetings. (3-0) (2-1) (4-2)  

Interesting 

I am one to tread lightly on overs in the playoffs. Things get much more defensive but to each their own.

They usually start out fairly high scoring but the longer the series goes on the lower the scores seem to be. Very few high scoring game seven's for an example.

Yeah I have seen this happen. I suppose it depends because there are always teams who just freeze up on scoring or a goal tender gets hot. I am erring on series bets in the first round but I understand your perspective.

Colorado/Dallas total set at 6.5 under -120 now. 

Habs/Caps up to 6 now. 

I am glad a got the three mentioned above before the line movements. 

Also 3 team parlay to win the series...

Canes/Leafs/Caps at +180.
