Watch Games 1-6, with heavy emphasis on Games 3-6.

Ok, I haven't really been following the series. I guess Washington has been dominated past couple games? Ovechkin came alive I take it.

I think history shows that home teams win a game 7
in the vast majority of cases.

Rangers look like a beaten team... They are not as good as they played the first 3/4 games... Washington did not get it going until the last 2/3 games...

Do not see how Rangers even sniff a win tonight, they are over matched...

I would not put a dollar on the Rangers no matter how much perceived value they have. You don't have any value if they don't have a chance to win...

Ther's no way this would be the line in a regular season game. Oddsmakers have put up a line to entice money to be bet on the Rangers. Another way of looking at this is that they do not mind having action on the Rangers. Of course no one can say with certainty what will happen in one game, but I would think the Rangers are up against it in this game. Mainly, they are life and death to score a goal. In the last five games of this series they have scored 6 goals, and 2 of those were late in the 3rd period on Sunday when they were trailing 5-1 and the outcome had liong been decided. So they really only have 4 meaingful goals in the last 5 games. Also they have not shut down the Caps in the last 2 games. Plus Betts, the Rangers best face-off man and penalty killer is out, their captain is hurt. Do you catch my drift?
