NHL Playoffs

So far teams that have scored first have gone on to win 46 out of 60 games.

When the unders are so dominating can you really call this surprising? In normal conditions with totals coming in around 5 then I would say the first team should win close to 40 out of 60. When the totals are coming in many times 3 goals total then the first goal is huge and I would expect it to be more like 50 out of 60.

Actually looking at the 4 current series where each has played 3 games, unders are 7 and 5 using 4.5 as a total.

First round was heavily under, more so than it had been in I think it was 5 or 6 years. This round has been fairly close, but of course half as many teams so half as many games.

Unders (4.5 goals) are 29 and 21 for the entire playoffs.

wilheimer,

I don't know how you do those stats. How do you figure out if a line was 4.5 or 5 when doing it. For example, on a lot of games, you'll have 4.5 ov -135 and 5 un -145. So what do you do here? Do you pick a specific book and go with their lines only?. How do you figure out what the line in a game was?
