10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION (THIS IS THE BIG ONE)
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. NY Rangers,
Total: 5.50 | -117.00 Under
Result: Win
10* UNDER (DESTRUCTION)

Tampa lost Game 1 by a score of 6-2. I'm not sure what I'm more surprised about: that Tampa let in 6 goals, or that the Rangers scored 6 goals. Let's not assume that every game is going to follow suit. Note that the Lightning have seen the total go "under" the number in 5 of their last 6 in trying to revenge a 4 goals or greater road loss against an opponent. Tampa looked like the extra time off between series led to "rust." Expect a much more concerted effort from the Bolts on the defensive end. These are 2 of the best goaltenders on the planet and all signs point to them being the main storyline in tomorrow's summaries of this contest; this number is high, the play is the "under" in Game 2!
