Boston @ Toronto: What is going on with the Bruins? A very thick Stanley Cup hangover. But the fact is this is still a quality team and should be feared once the bears wake up from their slumber. Toronto is a hot pick right now, but consider who they've been up against recently: Columbus, NJ and Ottawa. Now we have young Scrivens in net against the MVP Thomas. Playing in Toronto under the national spotlight is a gig many visitors get really juiced up for. This will be Boston's chance to show the doubters they mean business - they are rested and pissed, Toronto is home and tired. Situational play here. TAKE: BOSTON 6-2
Pittsburgh @ LA: LA is not playing very well this year so far, and without the stellar play of Jonathon Quick, would they have such a nice record? Not sure. I am sure that Pitt is getting a big dog tag, and that is reason alone to play them. I almost had them pulling off the upset against the Sharks, so I will try them again. Fleury is a monster that will match up against Quick, and Malkin v. Kopitar is also quite the trade-off. Kings not scoring goals as of late (1.8 at home and 1.8 in their last 5), and that wont cut it against a hungry Pens team (2.9 goals on the road, 3.0 in their last 5). This is a serious value play, getting a sweet tag as a very dangerous visitor. Yum Yum. TAKE: PITTSBURGH 3-2
