Kings +260 to win the west

[amrit]

I don't see any team beating the Kings in the West. Chicago is an offensive powerhouse, but Crawford will let them down if the play LA in the conference finals. I don't even know if Chicago will get past Detroit considering how poorly they played in Game 2. What do you guys think?

I think with the Hawks losing Game 2 against the Wings, it means that the Hawks' odds to win the Cup are the best that they will be the rest of the way. I'd be stunned if anyone from the West, or anyone but the Penguins, were able to beat the Hawks this season.

Usually I don't heavily back the top RS teams in the playoffs, but the Hawks are just too good this year.

Won't it pay better after they lose gm 4?

Are you projecting it being 2-2 after game 4 or 3-1 for Detroit? Obviously will pay much better at 3-1, but won't pay as well at 2-2 as it is now as Hawks will have taken home ice advantage back for the final three games.

I think he meant the Kings/Sharks being at 2-2

I put it in because I believe the Kings go up 3-1 and then never look book. They have the most complete team in the west IMO, I think it's a good play but we'll see what happens.
