BIG AL's NHL SLAPSHOT CLUB WINNER (7-0 RUN)!

At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Florida Panthers over the New York Rangers.  Three games, three overtimes is how this series has gone since its opening contest.  And if there's one thing that's apparent after these games -- especially the last two -- it's that Florida is dominating the play on the ice, even if it's not necessarily reflected by the final result on the scoreboard.  Indeed, the main reason those last two games even went past 60 minutes is because of a guy named Shesterkin, who has been in goal for the Rangers.  And while it has to be a bit frustrating for the Panthers that they're not leading in this series, there is no need to make wholesale changes and the strategy for tonight's Game 5 is simple -- keep doing what they're doing.  Over the last two games, Florida has out-shot New York by a whopping 77-46.  The Panthers are 23-7 in their last 30 coming off a home victory.  Take Florida.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
