Capitals at Golden Knights OddsShark Matchup Report

Vegas Golden Knights

On a night in which Marc-Andre Fleury wasn’t his super-human self giving up four goals, the Golden Knights had all of the answers on offense. Vegas’ relentless attack forced the Capitals into a number of big mistakes and turnovers in their own zone, many of which directly resulted in goals.

The end result was a frantic 6-4 Vegas win in the type of game that drives coaches crazy but makes for thrilling entertainment for the fans.

With Monday’s win, the Golden Knights are now 5-0 over their last five games. Vegas is 13-3 through 16 postseason games.

Washington Capitals

Washington’s top star Alex Ovechkin and head coach Barry Trotz both admitted in postgame interviews that the atmosphere and nerves of being in the Stanley Cup final had a negative effect on the team on the ice. It showed, especially in the two instances that the Capitals had a lead. It took the Golden Knights only two minutes and 56 seconds to erase Washington’s 2-1 lead and 91 seconds to erase its 4-3 lead.

The Capitals are 2-4 over their last six games and will need a much more focused effort on Wednesday night to get back on track.

Wednesday night’s total is set at 5.5 goals. The OVER is 5-1 in Vegas’ last six games at home per the OddsShark NHL Database.

If Game 1 was any indication, hockey fans and bettors are in for a thrilling Stanley Cup final. Both teams should play better in their own zone as they settle into this series, but the offensive firepower on both of these teams should still produce plenty of fireworks.

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
