Team Canada and Team Europe are the final teams standing in the World Cup of Hockey as they currently get set to face off at a best-of-three series to determine who'll wear the crown until the NHL decides the next tournament will be held.
SHARK BITES
Canada conquer Europe 4-1 when they met in round-robin play, coping Europe its only loss.
The total has gone OVER 6 at just among Canada and Europe's 8 respective games.
Canada has scored 4.75 goals per game at the WCH while Europe has scored 2.5 per match.
Canada is currently coming off a win against the Russians in the semifinals in a match in. The team that has led the game in shots is 8-6 so far in this tournament but if you remove the Americans' information from this metric, it moves to 8-3 -- the U.S. outshot their opponents in every match but went 0-3, skewing the data. Canada outshot Europe by 26 if they last met of this responsibility will fall on Jaroslav Halak's shoulders, assuming he gets the start in net for Europe.
Team Europe has demonstrated pretty much everybody wrong at this championship so far and has a chance to pay off individuals who endorsed them from the start as they had +3300 chances to take gold and have been even +1000 heading to the semis. As I've said all along can win a hockey game . Europe is supplying +575 moneyline odds for Game 1 and with the way Halak has been enjoying, I have trouble not taking BetOnline on that.
Canada comes back since the -1000 favorites in the first of three games and, yes, they will win. I really do expect the Europeans to compete, however, and I'd only take Canada -1 or even -1.5. The moneyline is offering no value at all and also the spread at 2.5 is a bit too wide for me. I think this game ends 3-1 in favor of Team Canada so Europe +2.5 creates a whole lot of sense to me.
