Puck profitability: 53-45; +22.67u; 28%ROI; (+1.35)

Game 5

Let me be clear that from the start of this series that my system was shouting Golden Knights and my heart, which by the way is NEVER involved in how I break down any investment matter, was all about the Panther.

I think that between what the kid Tkachuk and master motivator Maurice have done in Florida that I have become supportive of their efforts and I still yearn for a seven-game series.

Looking across the ice, this LVGK bunch is absolutely Cup worthy and what the organization has done in six years is amazing no matter how this series ends. Front office prowess, keen coaching, deep talented teams and home game theatrics are a Vegas trademark.

What Vegas has created in six years a handful of NHL teams could only dream of doing. In fact, there must be plenty of envy among the Buffalo’s and Toronto’s of the puck world that can’t seem to understand that one must play insular hockey if you want your city to hoist!

I congratulate the Las Vegas Golden Knights not only for their success this year but well more importantly for what they’ve done for this sport of Hockey in a gambling sense these last seven years.

Here’s a true story.

One day seven years ago before the Cup Final series but after VSiN had launched I was going onto the air with Matt Youmans to break down the CWS and Stanley Cup.

When Youmans asked then guest Sportsbook director Jimmy Vaccaro if he got “any play in the CWS or hockey”, Jimmy’s response was a dead pan “no” as he walked off the set!

My, my how far has Puck passion come in seven years!

I’m tickled for Golden Knight Cup success because I make a living on this sport and to see hockey thrive, grow and seed passion comes second only to profiting on it.

Tonight, we’ve earned cheese and we’re going to spend some:

Florida +180 and rising .5u

Panthers opened +140 which is higher than game 1 and 2 so the ‘Makers knew what they were lining….. now it’s +180 with Tkachuk out. Wait then jump the best price.

Over 6 ev .5u

Tally’s tonight

Florida series +850 .25u

Just win this game 5…

Oh, and have I mentioned our Marchessault +700 ticket?

Tonight, we discover if the Florida Panthers can activate their frenetic playoff feet and earn victory over a deep, formidable ‘from the goal out’ Golden Knight group.

As I mentioned prior to the series, a sure momentum changer and the perfect way to quell a red hot netminder is to give him more than a week off before the Stanley Cup Final. Florida must find a way to ‘believe’ once they can sip a little belief this whole series can change…just as the Bruins who were in command of their series with the panthers before Florida found their legs.

From the beginning of this series my head said, Vegas and over, I see little reason to stray from that. My system has the Knights +108 as a play tonight and I’ve not strayed all playoff season from what my model has advised….so I simply can’t get cute now even though I really want to see a six or seven game competitive Stanley Cup Final.

Who knows maybe the model we’ve been riding blows a lug nut but the play is..

Over 6 -110 1u outlay

Go Panthers
