The Boston Bruins have been used as the poster children for not caring about the Round Robin games, but the St. Louis Blues sure didn’t care a whole lot either. The reigning Stanley Cup champions scored six goals and lost all three games in their return to play matchups.

They draw a Vancouver Canucks squad that disposed of what some people felt was a highly underrated Minnesota Wild bunch. The Blues will have to flip the switch. Last year, they played as well as anybody over the last four months of the regular season going worst to first. We’ll see if they can do it again after that Round Robin showing.
<h3><strong><u>Series Schedule</u></strong></h3>

The Blues draw three late games with the four that are scheduled. Time is a meaningless construct in the bubble, but it is still pretty interesting. It is also a bummer for those in St. Louis that want to watch the games, but they’ll simply have to make due. The Game 3/Game 4 back-to-back could be a pretty interesting spot and likely advantageous to the Blues, who are the deeper team.
<h3><strong><u>Series Odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline Sportsbook</a></u></strong></h3>
Vancouver Canucks +162

St. Louis Blues -182
<h3><strong><u>Vancouver</u></strong><strong><u> Canucks</u></strong></h3>
Jacob Markstrom is the key to this series for Vancouver. Markstrom was solid during the regular season with a 2.75 GAA, a .918 SV%, and an 11.40 goals saved above average mark. Backup Thatcher Demko was nowhere close to those numbers. It took a while for Markstrom to have a true breakout season, but he had one this year and was on the verge of it last season over his 60 games.

Markstrom stopped 112 of 121 shots in the Qualifying Round and that was good enough to help Vancouver advance. The Canucks were not the better team in the series. Minnesota had 11 more scoring chances and 30 of them were high-danger chances. Vancouver did have a higher percentage of quality looks, but they advanced because they had the highest high-danger save percentage in the first round. They narrowly edged out Columbus, who also advanced.

With Markstrom’s quality play and some iffy goaltending from Alex Stalock, Vancouver outscored Minnesota 8-3 at 5-v-5. That represented a pretty big departure from the regular season, when Vancouver was outscored by three goals at 5-v-5. The Canucks were just an average team during the regular season. Markstrom was just good enough to lift them to playoff contention.

The Canucks also relied on the fourth-best power play unit in the league. Unfortunately for them, St. Louis was one spot better in third.
<h3><strong><u>St. Louis</u></strong><strong><u> Blues</u></strong></h3>
Boy, the Blues just went through the motions in the Round Robin. They didn’t even play everybody in all three games. It sure looked like they had no desire to be in those games, but at least they served to shake off the rust. The Blues were so deficient of scoring chances in those games that their expected goals for in the three games was the lowest of any team in action. That being said, as bad as they were offensively, they were quite stout defensively.

The Blues were +30 in 5-v-5 scoring in the regular season with 149 scored and 119 against. They did allow 580 high-danger scoring chances while only generating 549. Offensive opportunities were not omnipresent for the Blues by any means. The goaltending was, though. They led the league in high-danger save percentage by nearly 2.5 over the Dallas Stars.

Jordan Binnington was such a huge part of St. Louis’s Stanley Cup run last season and actually got outplayed by Jake Allen this year. Binnington had a .912 SV% and a 2.56 GAA with a 3.31 GSAA. Allen only appeared in 24 games, but had a .927 SV% and a 2.15 GAA. He posted an 11.23 GSAA. There is no doubt that Binnington will start the playoffs for the Blues. He wasn’t bad in the regular season, he just wasn’t as good as Allen, though Binnington played a lot more games.

Binnington struggled badly in the Round Robin with eight goals allowed on 76 shots. Allen, meanwhile, stopped 37 of 38 shots. It will be interesting to see if Craig Berube has to make that tough call at any point.
<h3><strong><u>Series Prediction</u></strong></h3>
St. Louis in 7.

Jacob Markstrom is going to make this series interesting, especially if we get this subpar version of Jordan Binnington. The Blues are the better team with better depth and what would seem to be a lot better structure. They only scored six goals in three Round Robin games, though, so this will hardly be a walk in the park for them. Vladimir Tarasenko is shaking off some rust and other players are looking to get going again.

An upset would not be a shocker here, but I have to think St. Louis gets the ball rolling after a few games with some more incentive and initiative.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

A lot of people wondered whether or not the St. Louis Blues could flip the switch for Game 1 of the first round. It turned out that they could not. The Vancouver Canucks took down a 5-2 victory on Wednesday night and the reigning champs already appear to be taking on water. There is no such thing as a must-win game until you face elimination, but the Blues are in a “must-show-something” spot for Game 2.

They’ll be in that spot as a -145 favorite per the odds at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>DSI Sportsbook</strong></a>. The Canucks are +125 on the other side with a total of 5.5 juiced to the under.

The most important player on the ice for the Blues in Game 2 will be the one wearing the most pads. Jordan Binnington was a regular season savior and a postseason hero for St. Louis during last season’s magical run. Unfortunately, he was outplayed by Jake Allen during the regular season and could very well be replaced going into Friday night’s game.

Binnington was the poster child for resiliency last season in the NHL Playoffs. He was 8-2 with a 1.78 GAA and a .937 SV% following a loss. He also benefited from a Blues team that was extremely good in its own zone after Craig Berube took over the team just 19 games into the season.

The 26-year-old was not bad during the regular season. He had a 2.56 GAA and a .912 SV%, but Allen was clearly better. He had a 2.15 GAA and a .927 SV%. Perhaps more importantly, Allen posted an 11.23 goals saved above average mark, while Binnington had a 3.31 GSAA. With how uncomfortable Binnington has looked in the restart and the playoffs, with 13 goals allowed in three games, the Blues may have to make the tough decision and play Allen.

It isn’t all on the goaltending, though. The Blues had 31 shots on Jacob Markstrom in Game 1, but it was the first signs of true life from their offense since the month of March. In the restart games, the Blues generated very few scoring chances. They had 18 scoring chances in Game 1 and nine of them qualified as “high-danger” scoring chances, but they still only managed two goals. Vladimir Tarasenko still didn’t seem to have all of the rust shaken off.

The Canucks have to be happy about scoring five goals and winning the first game of the series, but they have to button some things up as well. They allowed those nine high-danger scoring chances and also lost in other areas at 5-v-5 like Corsi% and 5-v-5 shots on goal. St. Louis also won in the dot.

In a normal environment, Vancouver would be praised for taking away home ice. With all of the games in the Edmonton bubble, most people won’t really realize that there are still advantages to taking over home ice. St. Louis squandered one of their games with the last change. Against a Canucks team that doesn’t have a ton of depth up front, the first game could represent a real lost opportunity for the Blues.

The Blues have been able to deflect some of the blame from Binnington because the Canucks scored three power play goals. St. Louis did have a below average penalty kill during the regular season, but they also need Binnington to make some saves in key spots. They also need to get their legs going. Vancouver had six power play attempts to St. Louis’s three. The Canucks already had a series playing for their postseason lives. The Blues did not. They went through the motions in the Round Robin. St. Louis looked a step slow at times and it led to some undisciplined infractions.

The reality, though, is that St. Louis was the better team 5-v-5. Markstrom was clearly better than Binnington, but the Blues got a taste of what they’ll need to do better in Game 2. It starts with getting up to game speed and ends with Binnington making the saves he should. Perhaps the Blues will opt to use Jake Allen and he could be an upgrade for them if he does get the call.

Vancouver had four high-danger chances in the first period at 5-v-5. They had two after that. St. Louis adjusted to some degree as the game wore on, but the penalty kill failed them. At 5-v-5, they are the better team. They should bounce back and even up the series here, regardless of whether or not Binnington or Allen gets the call.

<strong>Pick: St. Louis Blues -145</strong>

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>College Basketball Picks -- Oregon State Knows What It Has To Do Against Arizona State</strong></span></h3>
No one knows what is going to happen when Selection Sunday comes around, but you can be certain that two of the teams that would have to play themselves into the NCAA tournament field are the Oregon State Beavers and the Arizona State Sun Devils.

But there are other postseason tournaments as well, so there's always an opportunity for either of these squads to qualify.

They will clash on Sunday night at 7 p.m. Eastern time at the Desert Financial Arena in Tempe.

<strong>OREGON STATE BEAVERS at ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS, 7 p.m. ET</strong>

<strong>College Basketball Odds: Arizona State - 5, total 143</strong>

And remember that with <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, you can get reduced juice on this number, along with the opportunity to place wagers in real time once the game has started.

Arizona State has lost non-conference games to Villanova, San Diego State, it also suffered Pac-12 losses to USC, UCLA and Arizona. Bobby Hurley's team posted its best win of the season over Stanford. But they followed that up after some COVID delays twelve days later, losing a 75 - 64 decision to Oregon.

Oregon State scored a victory over those same Ducks, and it came on the road. They were embarrassed last Monday against nationally ranked Colorado 78 - 49, shooting just 32% and committing 20 turnovers in the process. And then failed to rebound - literally - against Arizona, being out-boarded by 13 in losing by a 70 - 61 margin.

OSU won the previous meeting in a thriller at Corvallis. Arizona State did all it could, shooting 50% from the field and committing only four turnovers, but Oregon State got to the line 27 times. And that is one of the themes we'll be exploring here.

The Beavers are not an especially good shooting team; in fact, it's kind of abnormal to hit only 44% of your attempts from inside the three-point arc. But that's where they are.

Arizona State takes good care of a ball, ranking 15th in the category of defensive turnover percentage. They are a rather weak rebounding team, however, and that's the kind of thing that creates an opening for Oregon State, which is one of the 20 "tallest" teams in America.

The Sun Devils foul a LOT in fact, almost 24% of the points that are scored by their opponents come from free throws.

In that particular way, it becomes something of an ideal matchup for Oregon State, which scores 22% of its own points at the free-throw line. That is a pretty high figure. and they're accurate from the charity stripe, hitting 75.7% from there.

What's the Beavers have to do is avoid making silly mistakes when they have the ball, as Arizona State likes to fuel its offense with turnovers forced on the defensive end. What we mean is that the same kind of slippery-handed performance they had against Colorado won't do.

As we said, there are a lack of shooters on the Oregon State squad, but it's critical in this game that Jarod Lucas, their 6 - 3 guard, who had 18 points in the previous meeting against Arizona State, is able to stretch the defense a little. He has hit 41 triples on the season (and is 41% from the arc)

All in all, we do kind of like the fact that Oregon State is able to coax ASU into putting them on the free throw line. Those conversions will work for us, as we grabbed the points in this Pac-12 matchup.
