Nashville vs Pittsburgh

[Ryermkd]

The Cup has been handed out 89 times to the champion of the NHL since 1927. For the first time, two American coaches will face off in the final when the Nashville Predators' Peter Laviolette goes up against the Pittsburgh Penguins' Mike Sullivan.

It's just the seventh time the Cup will be won by a U.S.-born coach.

"Having two American coaches lead their team in the Stanley Cup Final highlights the continued growth and evolution of the sport in our country," USA Hockey executive director Dave Ogrean said. "We have more coaches in our country than ever before, and two of our very best are in the final."

Laviolette and Sullivan are among six U.S.-born current coaches in the NHL, along with the Blue Jackets' John Tortorella, Red Wings' Jeff Blashill, Devils' John Hynes and Islanders' Doug Weight.

All the more reason for the preds to win it.

Good luck. I'm fading you. I took over.

Let me know how that goes for you

[OTL]

I like Nashville, even with the loss of Johansen. Rinne is playing the best hockey of his career, and the Preds just seem to have "it" this year.

[k13]

I do think Preds have a solid chance at this even without Johannson. Pens are banged up too; they almost lost to the Senators who are really nothing that special.

Preds are better than them in every way and they got Rinne, I'm not making any series bets. If Preds lose game 1 I'll put a small something on them for the ML and series before game 2.

For now I'm on the under 5 1/2

How are they better?
They have the best 3 forwards in the playoffs

[stevenash]

Anyone have a series price yet?

Pens in 6

You do hockey too?
Puck heads seem to think Pitt but most puck heads seem to think Nashville will give them all they can handle.

[MoneyLineDawg]

If Ottawa can take them to the brink why not Nashville?

They are similar to Ottawa but better even with Johansen out

Penguins more firepower but Nashville has a great group of defensemen

[MaddyMax]

Sitting on a Nashville future to win the Cup here. Not touching the series, but I think Preds can get it done in 6 games.

When did you take this future bet? Its same as series bet if you took this future after nashville put away the ducks

I do. I'm a little concerned about the exact game outcome lines. Maybe the pens will finally wear out. Book's seem to like the predators a little. I just can't see Crosby losing

[Russian Rocket]

When did you take this future bet? Its same as series bet if you took this future after nashville put away the ducks

I took them towards the end of April at +475.
Also added a little more right before their series with the Ducklings.

[Dollars2Donuts]

I find it interesting that people keep referring back to Rinne. He has been good the second half of the season and throughout the playoffs....but Pittsburgh isn't rolling some chump out there. Murray is an excellent goalie in his own regard, and if I could choose either of them to be my goalie in a seven game series this year...I would choose Murray hands down.

Pittsburgh's advantage at C will likely overcome Nashville's advantage on defence. I won't bet the series or Game 1....sides or totals. Just too tough to predict what will happen with these two opposing not styles until I see it with my own two eyes.

[Bigbill365]

Nashville smoked chi they will fuk Pitt up

[Comebackkid12]

Anybody who thinks the Pens will have this series wrapped up easily is terribly mistaken. Nashville has everything going for them right now and the Pens just came off of back to back 7 game series. And now they have to endure the physicality of Nashville. This series is up for grabs folks

[stevek173]

I'm actually laying off game 1 but will be watching closely.

The money line on Pitt is steep (-167) and I feel like Ottawa wasn't that great. Nashville has this weird destiny feel to them and as a Flyers fan I know how Lavvy can coach a team up.

NO ACTION.

[HockeyRocks]

The Preds are 2-8 in last 10 against Pittsburgh and 1-4 in last 5 at Pittsburgh...

In sports they're just some teams you don't bet against when there home....The Penguins are one of those teams...jmo....

If the ML is to high for you take Pitts -1 at +107...

[Itsamazing777]

Pekka isn't losing

Yeah but lavvy lost with us. He got lucky to beat the oilers with the canes and he did nothing with the isles.

[shocka1212]

Pens or no play... I take that back... maybe the over

[mngambler]

I like Nashville, even with the loss of Johansen. Rinne is playing the best hockey of his career, and the Preds just seem to have "it" this year.

Rinne's never been this far EVER and having "it" doesn't really mean sh*t....Pens in 6 AT MOST

[MeanPeopleSuck]

I think Nashville +150 is terrific value on the series line.

Injuries (Johansen's out; Fisher's banged up) are the primary drawback, but Pekke Rinne's been magical.

[MeanPeopleSuck]

And UN's whenever the game lines are 5.5, like tonight.

Johansen out, plus a generally thin forwards roster, means Nashville's offense will be degraded, and w/ Rinne doing his Superman thing on the other end....

Preds are 3-0 on the road in game 1 this playoffs. No bet tonight but if I did it'd be Preds and the Under. This series prolly sees 7 games.

True.

Nashville hasn't lost a game 1 though and Rinne is on fire.

Going to sit back and analyze.

[Art Vandelay]

Tonight its Preds and Under. If the Pens win, then I get a better number on the Preds series line before Game 2.
