The Sharks are going to win but barring that, I think it would be interesting to see Vancouver lose in the final for the third time against a New York adjacent team (Devils)

I think Buffalo could easily go on a deep run this year

[SBriand 4]

BAH!

[SBriand 4]

Please, not again.

Well Zach and I would like a rubber match. Next year your teams can play! Probably need another year for Chicago to get it right.

At least you have the decency to add this.Maybe some of you could just make it your signature?

I didn't think I needed to state my homerism, it's obvious before this topic was created I would have the Wings winning it. It also is no surprise that Chi/Buf would be Adams wet dream as well. STOP BEING SO JEALOUS! ;)Edit: This post needs more

Heres mine:Tuesday April 13th. Gary Bettman announces that the Penguins have been disqualified from the playoffs due to the revelation that in fact, the random lottery of 2005 was actually rigged. That, and Malkin's been on juice. The remaining 7 teams in the Eastern Conference will play a round robin on Wednesday. Carolina wins all of their round robin games, they take Pittsburghs seeding.SJ over Avs in 6Chi over Nash in 6Kings over Van in 6Wings over Phx in 6Caps over Habs in 5Devils over Philly in 6Sabres over Bruins in 5Car over Ott in 4SJ over Kings in 6Det over Chi in 6Car over Caps in 4Sabres over NJ in 7Det over SJ in 6Car over Sabres in 4Car over Det in 4They become not only the first team in history to win all 16games without a loss in Cup History, they also do so by a goal differential of 96-3. Dont be jealous!

You win, sir. lol96-3 huh? So Ozzie plays int he finals?

[serge 904]

5-1 seems high..I cant find any lines online, but i dont think it would be any higher than 3.5 to 1

[SBriand 4]

I know nothing about betting and odds but if the Habs were +4000 to win the cup and the Caps were +400 wouldn't 5-1 be close to fair for the series?

Only reason LA gets to the final is because of who they face, I like them vs Van and Pheonix

I dont think there is a correlation..While Montreal may get lucky and steal a series, they cant steal 4..I am willing to offer whatever a reputable site is offering PLUS another +50..For example if the line is +300 i will offer plus +350...If i am wrong and its +500 then I am screwed and will offer +550

edit, nevermind, don't want to steal Serge's action. We can talk after you guys have decided on a line.

Like I said I know nothing about that stuff. I just didn't want to do work.

No go ahead. You won't steal Serge's action. I always have room for a bet with him if we can agree on terms.

I hope so.
