The Prez
(75) Colorado Avalanche at (76) Winnipeg Jets
This is a simple handicap. Put aside the anomaly of Game 1, as I do not expect anywhere near 13 goals scored in this game. BUT, this is one of those series, where the Avs can score and score on anyone and they just have no goaltending and no depth on defense. The Avs where the highest scoring team in the league and even with the Jets having the best goalie in hockey, they are going to get 3 goals almost every single game they play. The Jets have also averaged over 3 goals this year, and with the Avs D issues, should put up 3 goals almost every game this series. I think we see a 4-3, 5-3 type of a hockey game tonight with this game going over the total of 6. Head to head, these teams have either pushed on 6 or gone over 6, 6 straight games and went over 6 easily in the last 3. With the Avs down 1-0 in the series, they have to play one of their best games tonight and that means scoring, as that is their identity. We are going with the over here.
