After leaping out to an early lead against the #7 seed Philadelphia (41-35-6) Montreal never took their foot off the gas pedal and buried the Flyers in the first competition of this NHL odds match held in Montreal. Both Flyers enthusiasts and the Canadiens hockey betting fans are insane and apparently have played a major part in this Stanley Cup betting series.

The home team was the victor in all 3 of the games in this NHL playoff betting series. Not to mention they haven’t just been victories, but blowouts. With scores of 5-, 3- and now 5-1 the NHL betting games in this hockey betting series have been uneven beat-downs. If this NHL playoff betting trend holds true to form Montreal should claim Game 4 of this NHL odds series with another large margin of victory.

If that happens is yet to be seen, although with the record currently fairly leveled at 2-1 there isn’t any reason to think that this NHL playoff betting won’t keep it up. Both of these teams apparently favor knockdown drag-out hockey wagering battles in the rink and that appears to be where this NHL playoff betting series will go.

Remember that both the Stanley Cup wagering series that the Canadiens have been in this post season have gone seven games and the Philadelphia Flyers are barely coming off a magnificent seven game series of their own. The two teams seem to be more at ease in lengthier series and never seem to give up despite what the NHL odds makers might say.

In Game 3 the Habs took a page out of the Flyers’ book and at last got some production out of their players. Montreal attacked early loading up on players in front of the Philadelphia Flyers goal and making things difficult for Flyers’ goalie Michael Leighton whose shutout streak was eventually ended as he was burned for 5 goals for the game.

In contrast the Canadiens star goal tender, Jarolsav Halak, was back in form as he stopped 25 of 26 shots permitting a point only the last minutes of this NHL betting game. Goal scoring machine Mike Cammallerie was also returned to fine shape finding the net for this 13th goal of the NHL playoff betting season to start off the rout.
