ROB V: WEST CONF. NHL PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR
(NHL) Anaheim vs. Calgary,
Money Line: -104.00 Anaheim (Away)
Result: Win
The NHL power play is on Anaheim. Game 63 at 10:05 eastern. The Ducks are 7-1 this month and may have demoralized the Flames by coming back from 3 down in the 3rd period to win in over time and take a commanding 3-0 lead. The Flames are 0-29 at Anaheim and cant be looking forward to going back there where they know they cant win. Road teams up 3-0 in any round on the road historically are 84-51. The Ducks are 14-3 after allowing 4+ goals and the Flames are 1-6 this month and have lost 7 of 11 here to Anaheim. The Ducks trailed in Calgary by three goals as late as 19:10 into the second period, and by two goals as late as 11:13 into the third period, but won. In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff games from 1939 through 2016, inclusive, road teams down three goals as late as 19:10 into the second period had a game record of only 5-251 (.020), and road teams down two goals as late as 11:13 into the third period had a game record of only 6-473 (.013). The Ducks won the last game with a less than 1% chance to win. If Calgary can come back from that I will tip my hat to them. Very unlikely though. Play on Anaheim.
