Current odds for the Cup[@vegasinsider]: New York Rangers 6/1 Anaheim Ducks 8/1 Chicago Blackhawks 8/1 Minnesota Wild 8/1 St. Louis Blues 8/1 Montreal Canadiens 9/1 Nashville Predators 12/1 Tampa Bay Lightning 12/1 Ottawa Senators 16/1 Pittsburgh Penguins 16/1 Vancouver Canucks 16/1 Detroit Red Wings 18/1 New York Islanders 18/1 Washington Capitals 18/1 Calgary Flames 20/1 Winnipeg Jets 25/1
Jets at 25/1 is a worth a shot. Not saying that will win but they are better than people realize. I would not be surprised at all if they got hot and made a run
Ovechkin is the man. Not liking those 18/1 Caps odds. Thought they would be higher. I don't get how Ottawa and Pittsburgh is higher. Cool though. Let's play some hockey!
First round picks, throwin darts at a board: ANA def WIN MIN def STL CHI def NSH VAN def CGY NYR def PIT MTL def OTT WSH def NYI TB def DET
ANA def WIN ....... Jets will beat up the Ducks, but Ducks are better STL def MIN ........Blues are better CHI def NSH .......... Hawks are better VAN def CGY .......... Canucks are better NYR def PIT ........... Rangers are better OTT def MTL ...........Sens are playing great hockey and Habs are sliding WSH/ NYI is a tossup...arguably the best series TB def DET ........... Bolts are better
No doubt about it. Great hire. Good to see Ovechkin has bought in too. I agree with almost all of that. Are the Wild better than I think?
There are always a few upsets. I have to pick one or two and the Blues always let me down in the playoffs. That being said it's always LA that boots them and they aren't in this year. We'll see what happens.
Holy crap is this guy tough! http://sports.yahoo.com/news/hockey-great-gordie-howe-makes-gritty-fight-back-164719527--nhl.html
Yeah, really was. 3 great games last night. Habs win 4-3 over Sens, Blackhawks 4-3 2OT win over Preds, and Flames last second winner over Canucks 2-1. Also 1 terrible game which I attended: 4-1 Isles over hapless Caps.
real interesting round 1 matchups across the board this year.. enjoyed watching Chicago Nashville last night. that will be a great series. Isles Caps good, and Rangers Penguins tonite also good from rivalry perspective. Ottawa Montreal might end up being the most hostile series. another Canadian matchup out west with Vancouver and Calgary. Minnesota St. Louis reminds me of the old Norris division (which it were still the Northstars tho).. glad to see Winnipeg back in it. hope they can pull the upset. even Detroit Tampa has the Yzerman element...and a very impressive Tampa team. first year i can remember that i will try to watch as much of every series as i can..
Mark Stone has right wrist fracture after getting slashed by P.K. Subban...so unlike Subban to play dirty, will they suspend that fuckin' dirtbag...tough break for Sens
they have to suspend him... imo 2 games. funny thing is Subban was freaking out when Stone came back into game, assuming he was faking being hurt. guess he wasn't faking anything... it was a dirty shot.
No suspension, what a joke, this is another shining example of why the NHL gets no respect...if Subban sucked he would have gotten games
