No reason to pretend I've had a great read on this series as shaky goaltending has been as much my demise as the Buffalo Sabres. That all being said we're currently seeing a runaway freight train in Montreal's favor with the moneyline moving more than I anticipated on the open. I'm personally closer to a true number in this game of -139 and while I do expect Montreal to win they're not worthy of such an aggressive price. Buffalo has defied the odds all season; why not one more time in hostile territory to send us to Game 7?

I have no idea who wins this game to be clear. Anyone who says they do is lying. Thought Montreal had taken control but then laid a home egg in Game 4 only to win Game 5 on the road. Buffalo has a goaltending problem. Again. That's really all this is. And the Habs are home, and I badly want them to advance. Hockey is more interesting with a Canadian team in the Final Four. And I might have to fly to Montreal if it makes the Cup Final. Might be my last chance this lifetime to see a Cup game there. Probably have to trade a kidney for a ticket but have a spare. So if any of you are up yonder, eh ....
