Coyotes to win the series +116? You gotta be kidding me!

[Sawyer]

How is this great value? They should be an underdog and they are? I don't see how its great.

Why should they be underdog? I agree with Sawyer. This line is based on perception alone. The Coyotes are a tight bunch that is well coached and have played extremely well to get in the playoff and should carry some momentum. They have the edge in net and imo one of the most underrated back end out there. And we all know what it takes in the playoffs to win. Toews hasn't played in quite some time and isn't even sure to lace them up in game 1. Phoenix has home ice advantage. My only series play so far as well. Books aren't stupid and know they will get Hawks money even if they juice up the line.

Need some outstanding goaltending from PHX, but i got 2u on them for series.. so lets go !!

[hockey216]

depends on Jonathan Toews.

[Sawyer]

The underdog should be Blackhawks here, not Coyotes. Goaltending advantage really matters.

Let's win Game-1!

[OTL]

I don't see any value on this line, if anything Chicago is seriously undervalued here.

[Mitchthecrane]

I agree, even without Toews i think they will beat Pho. Plus at +105 before we even know if he is playing or not, sounds good to me. I really do not see Phoenix advancing past the first round. Chicago knows this team very well.

Phoenix is very underrated by the public because their players don't get any exposure and don't put up big numbers. They are never on national TV games and don't have really high draft picks.

Hossa is the best forward in this series (Toews if he comes back at 100%) but the next best is Hanzal, who most people don't even know of. The next best is Vrbata, who finally ended up on some radars after potting a lot of goals this year.

The best defender in the series is Oliver Ekman-Larsson, followed by Keith and Seabrook, then Yandle.

So while it looks like Chicago is stacked with name brands, I think Phoenix's top end players are right at their level.

This changes if Toews is back, he is a class above everyone else in this series.

[Sawyer]

Mike Smith.

[aznbluff]

Smith is a very mediocre starter who had a good season, I don't consider him an upgrade or have an edge on Crawford, who is also a very mediocre starter.

[nick86]

Two words. Ray Emery.

That's it. Game over.

[OTL]

Toews is confirmed for game 1. Guys I would advise you to cancel your bets on Phoenix.

[JerseyRobby]

And "Toby" Keith will be back and his elbow is healed from caving in the Sedin boy's face

[aznbluff]

Coming back after having a concussion that kept you off the ice for a month is a spot where someone is not going to be at 100%. Not due to the concussion, but simply conditioning issues, which, for someone who plays as hard as Toews does, is going to impact his effectiveness. I don't expect to get a good Toews until later in the series, if at all this year. It usually takes a player 1-2 games to get back into game-speed, I'd expect it to take longer than that to adjust to the playoffs.

That said, Toews is a beast and one of the best players in the game when healthy.

Toews scored already and doesn't seem to have any rust!

OEL was a beast, this kid is developing into something really special; reminds me of Pietrangelo in St. Louis. They'll be among the league's very best for many years to come. Doesn't even get a star of the game for his efforts.

Sucks for Phoenix if Vrbata is out long term. They can't win without him.

[Sawyer]

Coyotes 2-1.

2 more to go!

Taking one in Chicago is huge!

[Sawyer]

Coyotes, oh yeah!

[hydrosmak]

Coyotes, oh yeah!

Got 3 units on PHX to win the series. Also won 1U last night! PHX is just a cash cow for me

[odog11]

Coyotes, oh yeah!

Looking good man. I have been just live betting this series for the most part, have had the Yotes in last three Ot's, 2 out of three all at plus money ain't bad.

[hydrosmak]

If you like to have your heart in your throat this is the team to back. The letting up the lead in the final minutes thing is getting a little OLD.

[Sawyer]

Finito! Mike Smith is the man..

Coyotesssss!

[Dharmonize]

Good job, Sawyer, congrats!
