Philadelphia Flyers (42-29-11) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (47-27-8)

Sunday, May 18th --- Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh --- 3:00pm EST

Series: Pit 3-1

NHL Betting Line: Pittsburgh -260

Holy Jesus that’s a big sports betting line! Whenever you see an online betting line this big, you know something is wrong with the underdog. Philadelphia played some outstanding hockey in the first period of Game 4, but barely escaped Jordan Staal and the Penguins. Don’t be fooled by the 4-2 score. The fourth goal was an open netter, and Pittsburgh had their opponents on the ropes for the final two periods.

So the Flyers won a game. Whoop-dee-freaking-doo. That was the best game Philly could have ever produced. And yet, Pittsburgh still managed to rally in the second period and out-shoot the Flyers for the remainder of the game.

I’m not going to waste your time here. Pittsburgh is undefeated at home in the playoffs and are the only team in the NHL that could possibly beat Detroit in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Bet on Pittsburgh puckline, package it in a parlay and thank me later.
