Stanley Cup Finals Game Six, NHL Picks: Blackhawks Lightning
We predicted Blackhawks in six and it’s looking pretty good for us here. The Tampa Bay Lightning are starting to deal with injuries and falling apart. The Chicago Blackhawks have their skate to the jugular of an inexperienced team, they’re on home ice, they’re heating up, and they’re the better team right now.
I’m excited about this one. I didn’t know which Tampa Bay Lightning team would show up here and we had been betting against the Chicago Blackhawks all playoffs with very limited success. It was hard to know which Blackhawks team we were getting, too, with all the goalie changes, injuries, and struggles this team had.
In the end, the Chicago Blackhawks have pulled through their struggles and emerged the team we all thought they were when the playoffs began. The Tampa Bay Lightning are explosive and volatile, and they can beat anyone or lose to anyone. Still, on home ice, can you really bet against the Chicago Blackhawks to let Tampa bounce back?
The computer continues to have a relatively weak signal. The Blackhawks are a 60% favorite on home ice with 3.5 stars of value – but the computer also sees 3 stars of value in the underdog line. What’s more, there is a 79% chance of a close game that could be decided by one goal. Still, this is in line with our feelings — a low confidence wager on the Chicago Blackhawks.
