NHL Playoffs - Detroit Vs Phoenix Game 7

NHL Playoffs - Detroit Vs Phoenix Game 7: There’s really nothing quite like it. An ex-nhler once told me that the difference between regular season hockey and playoff hockey is that in the post season, every single second of every single shift, somebody is trying to take your head off.

I think that sums up the NHL playoffs in a big way, and nothing gets more intense than a game seven. Frankly, I’m quite excited!

Phoenix is looking to knock off the hottest team heading into the playoffs, and a squad that was in the Stanley Cup Finals last season, and won the whole salami the year before. Detroit has more rings than Phoenix has players.

Phoenix is barely a year clear of bankruptcy, and have the entire state of Arizona at their backs heading into this game.

Currently the Detroit Red Wings are -120 road faves of Phoenix, putting the Coyotes in the +100 range. A decent number for a first round game seven.

Detroit has won 20 of their last 28 games straight up, and has won 16 f their last 24 meetings against the Coyotes.

Phoenix on the other hand is 6 - 0 in games AFTER they have scored 5 or more goals in a game.

Together these teams traditionally hit the OVER, but they have rarely gone OVER in Phoenix lately, though I still think that the OVER is going to be the play here. This series, AND game just feels like whoever is going to win, they’re going to do it via blowout.

Look for the Coyotes to take advantage of their home ice tonight, And Ilya Bryzgalav to come up big for Phoenix tonight. In fact, I’m predicting a Phoenix win on the Moneyline at +100 AND an OVER 5 goals.

It going to be the legs of the Coyotes that get them through to the second round, and an official changing of the guard for Detroit.
