Okay, with that said, let’s get started.
NHL Finals – Series Exact Result
Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 17/2 Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 4/1 Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 7/2 Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 17/4 Tampa Bay Lightning 4-0 14/1 Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1 13/2 Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 6/1 Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3 9/2 Analysis: I know a lot of hockey experts and fans like the experienced Chicago Blackhawks to hoist their third Stanly Cup Trophy in the last six years, but I’m going with the upstart Tampa Bay Lightning to use their superior speed and athleticism to beat the Chicago Blackhawks in seven games. Having won two Game 7 matchups on the road already this postseason, I believe the Young Lightning are going to be better off because of the adversity they’ve faced this postseason. Tampa Bay is a younger, faster and stronger version of the Blackhawks and I’m banking on that youth and speed – and an underrated goaltender – to get ‘er done! The Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning in 7 Games
Series Spread – 1
Chicago Blackhawks +1½ -300 Tampa Bay Lightning -1½ +240 Analysis: If I had to take a selection here, I’d go with Chicago +1.5 games, mostly because I believe this series is going seven games. The 2015 NHL Finals look like one of the more evenly matched finals in recent memory, lading me to believe this series will be decided by one game. The Pick: Chicago Blackhawks +1½Series Spread – 2
Chicago Blackhawks +2½ (-650) Tampa Bay Lightning -2½ (+450)Series Spread – 3
Chicago Blackhawks -2½ (+300) Tampa Bay Lightning +2½ (-400) Analysis: I think the ‘Series Spread’ odds above is an absolute lock for either team you believe is the underdog. I like Tampa Bay +2 ½ at -400, though I don’t think either team will win the finals by three games. The Pick: Tampa Bay +2½Total Games in Series – 1
Over 4½ -900 Under 4½ +550 Analysis: Hmmm…I wonder why the oddsmakers seem to believe this series is going to go at least five games. Maybe because it is! If you’ve got an extra $900 lying around, the Over 4½ games selection here is a lock! The Pick: Over 4½ GamesTotal Games in Series – 2
Over 5½ -200 Under 5½ +160 Analysis: Again…the odds are that the 2015 NHL Finals will last at least six games and I believe it will – at the very least! I like the Over here at a modest -200. The Pick: Over 5½ GamesTotal Games in Series – 3
Over 6½ +180 Under 6½ -260 Analysis: Both teams reached the finals by winning their respective conference finals – in an identical seven games and I believe they are both going to stage a knock-down, drag-out series for the ages in the 2015 NHL Finals as this series goes the distance! The Pick: Over 6½ GamesTotal Games in Series – 4
4 +550 5-+260 6-+175 7 +180 Analysis: I really believe the 2015 NHL Finals are going to last six games at the very minimum and most likely, seven games. I’m going with a pick for seven scintillating games. The Pick: 7 Games
Where will the Series be Decided
In Chicago +110 In Tampa Bay -140 Analysis: Since I’m going with seven games, I like this series to be decided in the Sunshine State! Besides, it seems as of everything of consequence in this country is happening in Florida, though much of it has been negative national news. The Pick: Tampa BayWill any game in the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals go to double overtime?
Yes +175 No -250 Analysis: One NHL Finals game went to double overtime last season, but before that, the last time a finals matchup went to double OT was in 2010 and prior to that, 2010. Apparently a double overtime finals affair happens about every four years, so I’m going with the ‘No’ selection here…it’s not gonna’ happen! The Pick: NoHow Many Games of the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals will go to overtime?
Over 1.5-+125 Under 1.5 -175 Analysis: With the Blackhawks playing three straight overtime games in the Western Conference finals and Tampa Bay going into an extra stanza once in their finals matchup against the Rangers, I’m going with the Over 1.5 games here. The Pick: Over 1.5 GamesWill Either Team Record a Shutout in the 2015 NHL Stanley Cup Finals?
Yes—200 No +150 Analysis: The Lightning recorded two shutout wins over the Rangers en route to their finals appearance but Chicago has only been kept off the scoreboard once in their last 10 games. I guess it’s possible that a shutout could take place over the course of the finals, but I don’t see it happening with so many great goal scorers taking the ice for both teams. The Pick: No
