BET VEGAS “FREE PICK OF DAY” FOR WEDNESDAY MAY 4TH, 2022
GAME: ST. LOUIS BLUE @ MINNESOTA WILD (GAME 2 OF SERIES) (BLUES LEAD SERIES 1-0)
FREE PICK: MINNESOTA WILD (-$1.28) over st. louis blues (Game 2)
Well Game 1 was clearly won thanks to two things for the Blues: (1) Experience and (2) More Physical. Once the Wild fell behind it was clear they had “deer in headlights” and struggled passing and evening the physical nature of the Blues. Then you add the Blues simply off charts perfection game by it’s Goalie Ville Husso, who in his first ever Playoff start, threw a Perfect game, stopping all 37 Wild shots.
For the Wild, Goalie Marc Andre-Fluery allowed 4 goals in the loss. But he wasn’t really that bad. The Blues simply passed the puck with perfection and the goals were all really solid shots not many Goalies would’ve stopped.
Their wasn’t much good news for the Wild who had a strong finish to the regular season to grab the higher seed and home Ice advantage in this Series. But they did keep the Blues #1 Line from scoring in Game 1.
This game is a “Must Win” now for the Wild as no way they win this Series going (0-2) at Home to start it. Fluery is a very bigtime Playoff Stud and this game won’t be too big for him. It’s kinda like the Celtics vs. Bucks and the Celtics got hit in mouth and got physically pushed around. It was a really bad loss but just one loss. This Wild team finished the season (8-1-1) overall and went (31-8-2) at Home this season. We fully expect a complete turnaround in Game 2 and a big win to even this Series at (1-1).
Take the Minnesota Wild in Game 2 for a nice Free Pick of Day WINNER!
ADDED TREND FOR THIS GAME: Before Game 1 “UNDER” these two played 4 “OVERS” this season.
