There's nothing quite like a Game 7 in the playoffs, especially when it's for all the marbles. When the Boston Bruins invade Vancouver tonight to face the Canucks for the Stanley Cup, a number of sports fans will be watching what is likely their first hockey game of the season.
A number of these people will have some sort of wager on the game, so you'd expect the public money to be on the favorite, Vancouver, but that isn't the case so far, as nearly 70 percent of the wagers have come in Boston and an even larger percentage is coming in on the under.
Vancouver is currently -150 and Boston +130 to win the game, while the total is 5 (under -125, over +105).
The home team has dominated the series, winning all six games, with Vancouver winning three one-goal games. Roberto Loungo has been a beast at home this series, allowing just two goals in three games. He is no stranger to pressure at Rogers Arena, having led Canada to the gold medal in front of the home fans in the 2010 Olympics and will be counted on heavily once again.
Boston's Tim Thomas has been solid at home or away and is the likely winner of the Conn Smythe as the most valuable player to his team of the playoffs, but will have to come up big once again for the Bruins.
