GAME 7 - Who Ya Got

[winkyduck]

you have just over 48 hours to think about it before Friday's G7

didn't list Pitt on the Puck Line because taking +1.5 and laying that wood is stupid and not something anyone should admit to anyway. so what's your pick for G7?

[choslamshe]

I think the home team trend continues for Game 7 again. Pittsburgh has to fight for 60 minutes to win at home...Detroit has their games (or last one anyway) locked up very early into the game.

It wouldn't suprise me to see another Red Wing route...

Prediction: 4-1 Wings...

I agree and am looking at Wings -1.5 but I do have Wings -140 for the series
