Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Matt's Analysis:
Buffalo has made the change in net to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, and that's mostly what this play is. The Finn has made two career playoff starts and wasn't very good in either. And were both on home ice in Round 1, getting pulled from the last one. Now UPL makes his first road start in maybe the toughest place to play in the NHL -- especially right now as Montreal is going nuts. "Ole, Ole, Ole!" The Habs have woken up offensively in the past two with 11 goals.
