Canadiens are Cruising Under the Guidance of Claude
When it seemed as the Canadiens’ 2016-17 window has been closed, they were handed a gift-wrapped Claude Julien to substitute Michel Therrien and also the prior Bruins seat boss has gone on to coach the Habs into a renewed confidence in addition to a 7-2-0 record since taking over.
In this run, the Canadiens have earned $100 straight-up bettors a gain of $466.94 and have rewarded UNDER bettors using an O/U listing of 1-7-1.
Using the Flames going to their eighth win in a row winners of their last six, Claude and the Canadiens will take on Calgary at the Saddledome Thursday. Both teams’ surges up the standings are greatly goaltender-related but Carey Price has been playing like the one who won the 2014-15 Hart, Vezina and Ted Lindsay trophies since the coaching change and owns a .951 save percentage in addition to a 1.38 goals-against typical in his eight starts below Julien’s advice.
Calgary’s series heading into this matchup makes it hard to bet the Habs on the road however, the Flames are giving up a ton of shots throughout their current homestand (32.67 per match ) and also the Canadiens have outshot their opponents by an average of seven per game over the course of their last few games. Additionally, they need to have Alexander Radulov back in the fold for this one because he directs the Canadiens in assists this 32, and he will be a sight for sore eyes.
Despite what Montreal fans will let you know, their team has been finding the back of the internet fairly frequently during Julien’s youthful tenure and they are 10th in the league in goals per game since the transaction deadline. With Carey Price playing from his mind and Montreal committing their superstar goalie sees, I like the Habs on Thursday and that I am also fond of the UNDER.
Possibly one of the factors in the shooting of Therrien was the frustration felt from the team leaders, Max Pacioretty and Carey Price. It is clear there was some thing to this rumor as the Habs captain has eight points in his past nine games and we have already talked about what Pricer was performing.
Those two men if they’re performing and happy , so is your team and are definitely the most influential on the success of the team.
Montreal has a six-game homestand beginning March 19 where the group can lock the Atlantic Division. Now is most likely the time, if you are considering making a futures bet about the Habs.
