That game 5 loss for VGK reminds me of my greatest sports betting loss ever. I have VGK in game 5 of round 1 a few years back. They were at home, could close it out, easy game. VGK outshot them something like 20-3 in the 1st and were losing 2-0. I bet more. Then bet even more in game. Ah, memories.

If the cup finals go to 7 games I will be in Vegas for it.

Wow game one being Saturday is shocking to me. Even for Vegas 4 days off is a lot.

Maybe just dogs cuz of layoff.

Home ice also, and it’s a real thin line.

My pick is Brad Treliving.

But we can throw $millions at Scott C of 2p2 forum, Steve Dangle Victory puppy, Steve Dangle himself, Don Cherry the list goes on and on.
Ask and you shall receive?

Sounding like this is going to happen!

Yup, seeing this as official. So, Sutter coming aboard next?

Definitely a good hire if you don’t want Matthews to re-sign.

yeah, bringing in sutter seems risky given his knack for pissing off his players


would be funny if matthews left

Sounds like Keefe is staying at the moment, that could quickly change though.

Sutter fits into a group of coaches like Torts that have short term success but than their hard nose act wears off and they get fired. Short term this may work for the Leafs but than you lose players.

I still think Mitch leaves I would be curious what he is asking if he extends 13 million a year??

After they lose Game 1 you will be able to get a much better number.

DK sits at Florida +105. I'll take Vegas for a hundo ($100) for shits and giggles at this price.

Post to book before puck drop if interested. Also, I only do PayPal if that's a deal breaker.

I’ve got VGK -130 tonight that I fired on during the Stars handshake line, really hoping that gets there, and really excited about the series finally getting started.

I mean I dont really see the difference, he himself had his agent going to MLSE to demand for more, obv you at least are in a negotiation for a new contract (if he had one offered at the time of the press conference?). Not like its some offer you are contemplating as a yes or no. Dont really mind, people do much worse when negotiating. Also a very tough spot to hold a press conference after a brutal series loss, maybe just better not to open up and say you will take a few days. But do think its weak.

Anywhoo, I do think he was a good to great hire for Pitt. Is the Duck hopefull for future? Not an easy gig to start at Pitt with their cap and contracts Id think, but Dubas should be a smart guy for the job. First job is to get rid of Granlund

Lets go for the SCF! Stoked for the games, listened the PDO and a bunch of stuff to look out for.

Back in 2018, VGK's run to the SCF was magical but deep down I thought they were up against it vs. the Capitals. Just felt like it was Ovechkin's destiny to win the Stanley Cup.

I don't have that feeling at all this year. I do think VGK is a more complete team than the Panthers. I will be legitimately disappointed if they don't win the SCF.

haven't thought about this series too much, would have guessed that vegas were decent favs due to being a better team (panthers on a heater, especially bobrovsky), but i just saw that the evolving wild twins have the panthers as big favs, weird. athletic has vegas with a slight edge.


ah well, hopefully it's a good series. don't really care too much either way
