I wonder what kind of odds the casinos in Vegas are giving for the Knights to win the Stanley Cup.

I still can't tell if Vegas is really good or LA is just very bad...
LA looked really slow though. SJ is a much better team.
I have SJ beating Vegas.

I think it's LA is just playing a different game which is slower and could not keep up with the Knights so yes they actually are that bad but not as bad as the Ducks

Yes, the Vegas Golden Knights — the expansion team that was given 150-1 odds last June to win the Cup, longest of the National Hockey League’s 31 teams — now face lower odds than the Pittsburgh Penguins, the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions. They are 8-1.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/davecal.../#7cf96934245c



Our Uber driver in Vegas was telling us that he bet $500 for the Knights to win the cup this year. He sold the bet for $10k to a young Vegas professional poker player in March and wasn't sure if he had done the right thing.

If they win, the bet is worth $75,000
Not bad at all.

Totally, going from $500 to $10k that's a massive win no matter how you look at and as good as Las Vegas has looked it ain't like they just won the Conference Final, still a long road a head and 3 more teams that can take them out.

Personally, I think they can take out San Jose then it'll be pretty crazy from there.

Just started watching the Leafs game. Listened to some of it on radio while working in the backyard. What's with the officiating?

Toronto Fans, now you know how Canucks fans felt when our players would get penalized for every sneeze and hiccup made on the ice.


Babdick needs to take a page out of Roger Neilson's book........... towel on stick. Ah......... those were the days.

League must have said something to the officials.......... third period seems to be better, as far as officiating goes. It could be the play by play people on radio trying some fake news

Jets and Preds should be a good series to watch. Hoping Leafs win tonight so they can suffer a crushing defeat in game 7

Caps vs Penguins for third straight year in the playoffs.

Third time lucky for Washington?

with the lacklustre goaltending the Pens are getting the year I really think it could be the Caps time to finally get into the eastern final

I kind of feel for Ovie and want him to at least have a chance at it but a sick part of me also wants to see them just get destroyed in the 2nd round and force the Capitals to once again decide what they have to do. They've tried coaching changes, trading players, changing styles of play, change GM's and while they've still managed to have great regular season success they have been horrible in the playoffs and something needs to happen but an arm chair GM like me doesn't know what it is.
