Why are hockey games so boring in the playoffs?

Boston Pizza is changing their name in Quebec for the duration of the MTL-BOS series.

Well let's not wake the scoring Gods up tonight at least.

Looking at last year, game two totals almost were the direct opposite of game one. Since game ones were way under, i will play all overs.

Game 2 overs are 4-1 so far.

I have no action but 6 goals with 6 minutes to go in the 1st period just doesn't suggest playoffs to me.

Those boring unders start to reappear now.

I so hope you are right. My system is really only good at finding UNDERS and thus far in the playoffs I've had to stop even trying.

Wal -I dont really do systems in hockey, really don't work. From my findings in the past, some teams will play overs no matter the total. You are far better off finding out what teams need to do to win and play your totals that way. Example - buffalo and NY Rangers will play unders most every time. Since Philly can't score right now,there isn't a system that would get me to play nothing but a under vs a hot goalie.

Tampa Bay fans must be enjoying this game
