It wouldn’t be the NHL playoffs if we didn’t have a surprise or two along the way. When looking at the opening round match-ups, I tried to keep an eye open for a series that might well provide a shock result. One of the first ones that I immediately threw out was the series between the Anaheim Ducks and the Nashville Predators. I believed that the gap between the two teams was simply too large to be bridged, and that the Ducks would skate to a comfortable first round win. I really couldn’t have been any more incorrect, as the Predators have stunned everyone by winning both games in Anaheim to head home with a 2-0 series lead. To suggest that this series is over based on the outcome of those first two games is a mistake that I am not about to make, as I expect the Ducks to still put up a fight in the remaining games. Game 3 may well prove to be the pivotal one in the series, and you can wager on it at our pro hockey lines page at MyBookie.ag.
