87% chance they don’t win the Cup.

We all fall for it sooner or later. Once spring time rolls around and it feels like playoff weather, they suck us all in again

If I were a betting man I’d bet on Vegas for the repeat. Teams built for the playoffs.

I like the random $10 or $20 bet here and there for fun but I don't know who in their right mind would try to predict who's goingunpredictable. in the NHL and bet on it. So many unpredictables.

Damn small buttons on cell phone lol.

I'm a huge optimist on here and that strikes me as much too high. But again, NEXT YEAR I'm putting us at 13-15% potential easy.

This year don't talk to me about a cup till round 3. Let's just develop this bunch.
