Nice write up, I too love Aho, tremendous player, Kotkaniemi has been on fire lately, Brind'amour has finelly let him go.

I agree that tha Canes should glide past the Islanders, but the first game is gonna be tight, i'm betting on a tie  like 2-2 

If we only look at numbers, the home team should be favorite in all eight series. 

The last 50 games of the regular season has seen the favorite win 39 games, a whopping 78%

The last 120 games, 96 wins That's  80%

I don't have the numbers for all season or other seasons, but i remember a few years ago it was close to 63%

I wish i knew what  the % was during last season's playoff, i am sure it's closer to  63%

With that in mind, how many of the 1st games of each series are won by the home team..... my guess is 6 wins 2 losses, 1 on monday, 1 on tuesday

Monday, i only have eyes for a Hurricanes lost, 

Bos, Edm and dal should win

Good luck for the playoffs

Nice write up

So far, 12 games were played between the 2 conferences, 11 were won by the home team.

Will this continue ?

There are 8 more games left in pre season that match this criteria.

Out of 28 games played in the west, other than the inter conference games, only 13 were won by the home team..

Out of 30 games played in the East, other than the inter conference games, 26 were won by the home team...

I'm early but the stats are ready , so here goes

Monday' picks

DET @ NYI   ,,, DET

PHI @ BOS   ,,, BOS

TOR @ MTL   ,,, MTL

OTT @ VAN   ,,,VAN

ANA @ LAK   ,,, LAK

I totally agree that there is a big problem,

Billy Smith, sweet memories ......

Another problem are the late hits

when a hit is made with the intention to bruise or hurt an opponent...or anybody else........ is called an assault

.. an assault is very serious...but not in the NHL

WOW, SO LAME OF MYSELF

All favorites, all home teams,,,

Well that's the way the cookie crumbles
