T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes - ML

I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Thursday. In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final, it's always hard to predict who's going to come out on top. I've been high on the Hurricanes all season long (as I predicted them as my Stanley Cup Champs,) and I still expect them to come out blazing out off the gates of this series even with their injuries. Florida has been hot at just the right time. But, I believe that they will start to cool off throughout this series. During the regular season, the Canes won two of three meetings. Give me them in Game 1.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes.

Line: -140

Line Parameter: play until -160..
