Ok so WTF are those odds on the Rangers... I don't know why bookies are pushing people to take Vegas as favorite but I will not follow their stupidity.
The Rangers have been playing quite solid hockey for the last weeks and I must say that the two goalies are performing at a very high level (bring relieve for defense and goaltending). Momentum is certainly behind the hosts and had pretty easy win against the Devils in their yesterday's match. I am not a big fan of the Rangers but I have to admit that their strategic approach in their games is currently flawless and exploit all game bottlenecks. I like intelligent hockey and the team plays with a lot of synergy. Not to mention, that the Rangers have been playing pretty solid hockey at home ice and this will edge the win tonight.
The Golden Knights are not in their golden area. I've seen a lot of clumsy and rusty matches and the team is very inconsistent right now. Also Fleury is out for tonight as he has some tragic family circumstances and Subban is really much weaker between the pipes. The team has been struggling in offense as way thus I can safely say that the Rangers should be favorites in this match-up, so odds are ridiculous.
If bookies really think that because the Knights won 3 out of their 4 games this makes them favorite... then I would say they need to fire some people in their odds analysis departmets. Other than that, I hope the Rangers deliver a strong result as this match is really doable at home.
