Lol. That what they said last year. I’ve bet against the blues practically every year in the playoffs before last year. I just report what I see pal!!!

Every team in the West has serious flaws. Colorado is very young, fleury was very inconsistent, Binnington wasn’t the same player this year. I do think Vegas has the best offense but their defense was trash at times. Vegas was in great form right before the game pandemic.

Jets +100 for sure. Better goaltending and more of a playoff team.

sunshineSpecial · 07-29-20, 04:48 AM

The problem with Winnipeg is half the players always want to be traded. Brutal chemistry.

Didn’t expect to see everyone loving Edmonton. Toews and Kane have so much post season experience. These guys get up for the moment. Oilers have never sniffed the chance to find out. Hawks in 5...

I agree the Hawks have proven to be a tough out in the Playoffs. Kane,Keith and Toews are still very solid players. Also Crawford is still playing well to his credit.

I was thinking the same thing about Chicago, they aren't the easiest out.

Definitely worth noting and it is the BlackHawks organization, but hopefully that just translates to 1 win in the series.

But I just dont' think it's their year to go anywhere.

Go Edmonton!!!!

DK has a promo, put $50 on any team's ML to win the series, *qualifying series*, get $5 towards a free bet for every goal your team scores in the series

Unrivaled · 07-31-20, 07:17 PM

Jets
Islanders
Penguins
Oilers

Locking them all in tonight. Backing out of Hurricanes because no Dougie Hamilton and their goaltending. Might parlay the 4 as well, very confident about these picks.

I agree, Oilers stars are rested. They aren't a deep team but the Hawks aren't great either and the line should be more like -275.

keely85 · 07-31-20, 09:57 PM

I’m a hawks fan so I know they’ll prob lose but half the roster is a bunch of kids. If Kane and the defense can play okay they have a shot.

The 3 months off will be a detriment to more skilled teams I imagine.

Could see Pens suffer

KVB · 08-01-20, 02:48 PM

Chicago up 3-1 halfway the first.

Should be a close series if they don't put Koskinen in lmao. As a Flames fan I'm loving this.

WIUhockey · 08-01-20, 02:59 PM

Hawks are already proving if they can stay out of the box, they can win this series. Dumb penalties will be their downfall.

EDM -1.5 for the series may be burned in the first half of the first period of the first game.

KVB · 08-01-20, 03:02 PM

Actually, I briefly forgot we don't have a home road split.

lol.

Still, EDM would have to win 3 in a row to hit, if they lose today.

keely85 · 08-01-20, 03:08 PM

Yeet bois. Mother fukkin yeet

I took the Hawks ml today but I don't think they win this series. They actually might still lose this game

Still think Edmonton over Chicago is the biggest lock in sports?

I'm kidding haha I think Oilers still win in 5.

keely85 · 08-01-20, 03:27 PM

Hawks will win game 3 or 4 but not series.

thomorino · 08-01-20, 03:34 PM

Ban to sky was great in the playoffs last year, his saves changed the momentum against Tampa bay, Florida is the better offensive team, I’d lean them at this price.

thomorino · 08-01-20, 03:35 PM

If Edmonton comes back to win this game I don’t see the blackhawks recovering.

I like Islanders as a team in the playoffs. Played a parlay with Oilers, Isles, Jets series wins so hopefully Oilers come back here.

Babrovsky can change a series, Florida has the better offense too, I’d lean Florida.

thomorino · 08-01-20, 03:39 PM

I’d they pulled smith in the first after the 3rd goal would be a different game.

You don't think Calgary is better?

thomorino · 08-01-20, 03:41 PM

Edmonton forgot this is essentially a playoff game, they showed up like this was just another game.

Sure, on paper they are. But Flames are my team and their stars no show every playoffs.

I know Tkachuk, Gio and Bennett will bring it but will the powder puff 1st line? I doubt it.

Also is a big goaltending and coaching mismatch.

Unrivaled · 08-01-20, 05:46 PM

Oilers +150 underdogs now in the series.... might put some more on it....

Okay good luck. I think Calgary wins tonight though

I respect your opinion, but I know my team. I would love for them to win a few series and show up, but I just don't see it.

I think Jets will bully our top players and it'll be up to Tkachuk, Backlund and the 4th line to produce offense.

I don't know a single Flames fan who is confident in the team at all, but maybe they play better as the underdog.

Better value betting them to win game 2 and rolling over what you win, I see almost zero chance Edmonton wins the series if they lose the next game.

Teams win 3 in a row all the time. I hate them as much as anyone but they have the 2 best players in the world.

They will not go quietly.

Teams up 2-0 win a 5 game series 98 percent of the time, I’m not a trend bettor but that that trend makes sense to me. The teams that win best of 5 down 2-0 are usually elite teams Edmonton is far from elite. Edmonton also got shit kicked, if they can’t respond to a loss like that they are likely done.
