There's only one way to play the total on this series - and it's certainly not Under. 
Colorado and Dallas have averaged 8.6 goals per game during the first five games of this Stanley Cup series. There haven't been fewer than seven goals scored in any game. The Over has won each time. 
It's clear the Stars are comfortable playing up-tempo, which is how the Avalanche prefers it. Various players are stepping up in huge ways on offense and the goaltending has been putrid. 
The Avalanche are down to ineffective backup goalies, while the Stars trotted out Ben Bishop for the first time since Aug. 13. An obviously rusty and perhaps not-100 percent healthy Bishop surrendered four goals in the first period before getting the hook. Bishop was making only his fourth appearance since March 10. 
Dallas has gone Over seven straight times. Colorado has gone Over in six of its last seven games. 
So I see no reason not to continue to ride the Over wave.
