Zdeno Chara has been a terror in the series, laying the body and potting some crucial goals with his have shot from the point.  <\/p>\n<p>In Game 5, however, the Sabres showed why they were the higher seed entering this series. They used their superior speed and finesse up front to skate circles around the Bruin defense and beat Rask three times before following up with an empty-netter. <\/p>\n<p>The question is whether or not they can duplicate that effort in a hostile, intimidating road environment at Boston\u2019s TD Garden.  <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tall order but I see the Sabres scraping by on the skin of their teeth tonight. First off, there\u2019s a great chance that they\u2019ll get Thomas Vanek back from his high ankle sprain tonight. Boston hopes for Marc Savard (concussion) to return but he\u2019s far less likely to get clearance. Secondly, even though the Bruins will get very physical with Buffalo tonight, there\u2019s the Ryan Miller factor. <\/p>\n<p>Rask has been great but, fact of the matter is, Miller was the league\u2019s best goalie this season. There\u2019s no one better at stealing a game right now. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t expect Buffalo to be the better team overall tonight \u2013 Boston will just be too amped up at home \u2013 but I expect Miller to stand on his head early against Boston\u2019s subpar attack. <\/p>\n<p>That will buy the Sabres enough time to score a goal or two, and that should be enough for a victory. <\/p>\n<p>Pick the Sabres to win a thriller and force Game 7. <\/p>\n<p><strong>NHL Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buffalo is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games<br \/>\nBuffalo is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing Boston<br \/>\nBuffalo is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Boston<br \/>\nBoston is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home<br \/>\nBoston is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing at home against Buffalo<br \/>\nBoston is 6-2 SU in its last 8 games<br \/>\nBoston is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing Buffalo<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 4 of Buffalo&#8217;s last 6 games on the road<\/p>\n<p><strong>NHL Playoff Betting \u2013 Sabres vs Bruins Game 6 Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick Sabres +115 <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.bettingpartners.com\/_TcMlrmSOeQxhg6WO2I1rgWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT BODOG.COM\u2019S NHL HOCKEY BETTING LINES FOR TONIGHTS MATCHUPS!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight some great Stanley Cup Playoff hockey games on tap for your NHL hockey betting action.
