Ah-ha the finland +1.5 was the way to go, in tense game but anyone who thinks the NHL should be played on the Olympic Ice needs to rethink that thought.
Thank goodness for the MUSH who is 2-10 now.
The reason the Euros do so well when they go is they can trap, time and time again the Fins were 5 men below the blue line on CDNS entry all lined up. I even over heard the announces say that the Russians were resorting to that style as well.
Speaking of the Russians 8 goals in 3 games? That makes them 8th in scoring efficiency & 7th in Power play - I wonder if they say its a process? I say one think they are pretty good in shoot outs. I thought they would be 1.5 to 2.5 goal favs but 3.5 - I ll take a shot at norway & the under just waiting for the MUSH to post so I can declare units.
I watched the swiss play the czechs I wish I didn't.....but it gave me some insight into the swiss game.
These guys play hard every shift, once they got the 1-0 lead it seems everytime they went down the ice they tried to pin the puck on the end boards they were not even interested in the goal.
They have allowed 78 shots on goal which is AVG for most teams (by the way CDN is by far the leader at 58) Hiller has a 98.7% SV%. Their PK is perfect and they have yet to score a PP goal not surprising when only 3 goals have been scored in total in their games.
I can't see this Total going over 4.5 if the swiss get a 2-3 goal lead on the Lativia they will go to the boards and keep everything to the outside.
SWISS U4.5 -134 6.6* to win 5
