NHL Furious Free Picks 2008 – Capitals Strive To Survive

Washington Capitals (43-31-8) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (42-29-11)

Monday, April 21st --- Wachovia Center, Philadelphia --- 7:00pm EST

Series: Phi 3-2

NHL Betting Line: Philadelphia -145

Today in online hockey betting we focus on the young guns, namely Alexander Semin, who came out blazing in the 3-2 victory from Saturday. And now the Flyers need a win to prevent sending this to a definitive Game 7 in Washington. The Caps are 13-4 SU in their last 17 games, which means that giving these stallions any room to breathe can only suffocate Philadelphia’s chances.

The problem for the Capitals betting faithful is that Philadelphia is undefeated in their last five home games. But it’s hard to bet against the Capitals, especially with momentum in their favor and their young guns gaining confidence with every playoff victory. The scariest element of this game is that now Washington has Philadelphia gasping on their heels, because nobody expected the Caps to come out firing like that.

And now, with Philadelphia 2-4 SU in their last 6 games against Washington, the betting backers for the Caps are coming out in full force. Versatile defenseman, Mike Green, has seven points in the playoffs and has been a real problem for Philadelphia. Hell, he nearly castrated one of the Flyers who tried to block one of his slap-shots. But his production has made everyone in front of him that much more improved, and now the Washington point-man is going to make life a living hell for Philadelphia tonight.
