One gets the impression that after the spectacular entry into the playoffs, the team simply fizzled out and no longer had the strength. On the other hand, the “blazers” had the courage to beat the “lake” in the first match of the series (100-93). This win should have helped Portland to get to the next level, but the Lakers are a tough opponent, as we saw in the second and third matches. The guys of Terry Stots simply could not stand the pressure from LeBron James and the company, so they had to give up twice. It’s a pity for the Blazers, because a lot of players are injured and it is difficult to resist the leader of the West, although Damian Lillard does not give up and does everything possible to keep the team afloat.
The Islanders are a worthy contender for Philadelphia and look great i this Stanley Cup too. The team dealt quite easily with Florida (3:1) and then switched to Washington, which was allowed to take only one match. After being defeated by Metropolian in the fourth match, the Islanders completely neutralized the opponent’s attack and did not concede a single puck, winning 4-0 and going to the next round. At the moment, one of the main snipers is Anthony Beauville, who scored a double in the last game. The squad of Barry Trotz is not afraid to act as number two and feels comfortable at the same time, because the implementation of chances is at a high level. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
