Boston Bruins (in 6 or 7) +320
Canucks are no where near the NHL power ppl are led to believe. They do not have a single premier dman (Pronger, Chara , Lidstrom who log 28+ minutes a game), they do not have a megastar pair of forwards or even a single hall of fame caliber fwd (malkin, crosby, zetterburg, datysuk ect). They only scored 16 more goals in the regular season then did the Bruins, and goaltending is a push at best. However i favor Tim Thomas and a house money attitude over Luongo and the pressure he will be getting. These teams matchup very evenly with Chara being the biggest factor in the series when matching up against the Sedin line. Looking at the NHL player ratings I just dont see why vegas has the Bruins +210 in the series overall, i think a fair price would be +145. But the public thinks that Vancouver is an elite team like the Red Wings of a few years ago and they are not even close to that. This series will almost certainly go deep and I love the Bruins in 6 (+615) or 7 (+670), taking both it comes out to +320.

The Sedin line is tough, but Chara is the best shut-down defenseman hockey has seen in years. Every single game will be close, and the series will go deep. Take the Bruins is a great deal going against the public.
