While I reserve the right to make KANGZ series threads, the CUP is up for grabs now. It's Mods discretion IMO.

The King is dead. Love live the KANGZ.

Fwiw, game day threads are a must. Separate EC and WC threads should be enough to manage the rest.

I also like 1 overall thread for super high content like suspensions or highlights, anything that transcends a single series.

Staples was going to suck if the Lakers and Clips lasted. With the Lakers out, and the Clips not looking great, it should be manageable ice.

If PBR is sold in the arena, and hockey remains the least popular major sport in America, a team would thrive in Portland.

I also wonder if a publicly owned team could work in Green Bay.

Btw,
las vegas is on the board as a possibility. MGM is breaking ground on a suitable arena, to be finished 2015 iirc.
Kansas City already has the arena.

Now, I do not mind Las Vegas having a hockey team there. Frozen Fury, every year, before the last lockout, had good business right?

That reminds me. Back in Game four of Kings/Coyotes, it was a pretty busy weekend for downtown LA. There was a huge biking event, around the area, as well as Lakers, Clippers, and Kings having games at the Staples Center (I cannot remember the order of which team used Staples first). Suffice to say that, playoff results wise, for, at least, Lakers and Kings did not bold well during that weekend.

FF always draws well.

Once the Pond dies, they really should move the Ducks to LV. Don't care for them at all, but they have been on regular cable here since the start.

lol @ ottawa being favored vs mtl

although maybe theyd both be closer to -150/160

Ottawa isn't a favorite against MTL, and yeah -170 seems pretty fair.

Edit: what nutshot said. Habs are pretty heavy favorites against the Leafs but I doubt the books will make them too lopsided.

I'm in Toronto right now and they have a countdown for next leafs game...

It says 155 days. I asked the manager about it and he said he didn't know how to change it.

Guesd they weren't counting on the leafs making the playoffs

Average Leafs fan likes the matchup vs Leafs. I dunno, I think that series is close.
