The NHL Thread

hammer, does this game matter for anything? looks like maybe home ice should these teams meet in the wcf or something right

Toronto
Vancouver/Winnipeg/Edmonton
Don't give a flying beep about battle of Florida LOL

It would be great if Washington wins but o.k. with NY Rangers.

Carolina and Dallas, Vegas o.k. too but probably playing against one of the above teams am cheering for.

Yes, for 2nd in the conference, 1st in Canada and the Waylon Jennings Trophy, or William M. Jennings Trophy, if the Jets can hold Vancouver to 2 or 3 goals.

Luongo & Schneider won it in 2010-2011.

Florida

noooo, muh waylon smithers! er, william. er, what

there should be a trophy for this ... you know, since none of us are ever winning stanley again

almost time ... still one of the goat videos

anyway, lol whoever loses

I've seen enough to realize vgk is tanking to avoid edmonton...will the kings do the same?

Done early today so got the snacks and stuff so pretty much ready to go!

Alot of talk in the lolmedia of Leafs in 5! That was a good laugh.

Snacks is a funny word. 😆 Got a gallon carton of cheddar goldfish ready to rock!

According to NHL.COM we got this. They're experts, right?

You and my son have similar tastes.

And beer right? Y'all drink the beer and drive pick-ups and eat big steaks down there😆

Yup feeling Dallas goes at least 2 rounds if not all the way too

Now all us CDN's get to look forward to 45 minute of SportsCentre On TSN covering the Leafs and 15 minutes for the rest

Ive got the Islanders Dallas in the final

My dream is Leafs/Oilers

in order of likelihood

Rangers
Canes
Canucks
Oilers
Panthers
Leafs (hate both teams, but my theory rests on Leafs winning)
Stars
Jets

now in order of odds.

rangers -435
canes -403
oil -214
panthers -185
nux -150
stars -140
leafs +106
jets +105

based on my subjective thoughts, looks like i should be betting on Vancouver and Toronto.

The media nonsense is starting, Nylander was not at practice, they want to know who is starting goaltender and on and on, man alive.

Leafs and Oilers would be fun and hope that too. 😀

series prices (from Draftkings):

CAR (-340) vs. NYI (+280)
BOS (-125) vs. TOR (+105)
FLA (-180) vs. TB (+150)
NYR (-450) vs. WASH (+340)
COL (-135) vs. WINN (+115)
VAN (-150) vs. NASH (+130)
DAL (-140) vs. VGK (+120)
EDM (-190) vs. LA (+160)

All favorites have home ice except COL.

So, the Jets finished ahead of them, swept them and have the 2 better goalies.

OK. Whatevs.

I won't really know until after the first game or couple of games.

I'm stunned LA decided to play EDM.

If VGK busts DAL that will be unreal.

moneypuck rankings fwiw:

#1 CAR vs. #24 NYI
#12 BOS vs. #9 TOR
#8 FLA vs. #11 TB
#3 NYR vs. #28 WASH
#7 COL vs. #13 WINN
#6 VAN vs. #10 NASH
#2 DAL vs. #4 VGK
#5 EDM vs. #14 LA

poor dallas. heck of a year and their reward is playing vegas, who basically don't care about the regular season. somebody good is going home early...

don't use dk odds, they limit winners and can thus focus more on what the donkeys there are more likely to bet so NYI and LAK get bad odds

you can get NYI +345 and LA +185 at Circa and Pinny

Pinny right now

CAR (-403) vs. NYI (+340)
BOS (-121) vs. TOR (+106)
FLA (-190) vs. TB (+165)
NYR (-435) vs. WASH (+365)
COL (-121) vs. WINN (+105)
VAN (-150) vs. NASH (+131)
DAL (-148) vs. VGK (+129)
EDM (-213) vs. LA (+184)

I might 4-team FLA, BOS, VAN, DAL

Just pulled the trigger on Stars game 2 tickets. 2nd deck row B about the 35 yard line.

$275/each all in. Gotta pay to play! Excite! Hype!

Bet them to win the cup when odds were 1st released at 14-1 for a hundo. Hoping that offsets my expenses when they win it all! 🙄
