(Site Supporters saw two plays on the Rangers/Tampa game — the successful NYR TT o2.5 as well as a Rangers first period play that never stood a chance.)
We’ll try to keep the good times rolling today with a 15-game slate that includes five afternoon starts.
We’re on the Wild Team Total Over 2.5 -122 (regulation time) in afternoon action, a play that was posted on Twitter earlier today.
