    if that was case Toronto would win every 20 years or so

    WHo has Bishop faced that is nearly the offensive power house the Hawks are? MTL and NYR couldn't score to safe their life, and DET got to him a few times. Bishop is going to get F'ing lit up in a few games.

    And who has Crawford faced that IS the offensive power house the Bolts are? Det/Mtl/NYR were 10/20/3 in scoring this year. Nash/Minn/Ana were 14/12/11. Defensively they were 15/1/3 versus 9/6/20. Lightning beat the presumed Vezina winner in Price and lit up King Henrik. Don't think Crawford scares them too much. This is Chicago's 3rd appearance in the Finals since 2009/10 (2 Cup wins); the Lightning are 6-2 against them in that span. Isn't going to be the walkover some seem to think.

    Skip the futures, bet the Over in Game 1 and see how they match-up. I agree that home ice isn't going to be a determining factor in the series.

    Lets see the Ducks, for one (WHO LED THE PLAYOFFS IN SCORING, but lets forget about that)....AND STOP giving regular season stats, that are useless once the playoffs come. RS and playoffs are 2 completely different aspects....MTL,NYR,DET couldn't score for anything and they even lit up Bishop. TB has faced Keith or Seabrook who are better then any defensemen they have faced in the postseason.....

    Or maybe that speaks to the quality (or lack thereof) of defense played in the West vs the East. Say what you want about Bishop; when it counted most he was a brick wall. 1 goal allowed in 3 clinching games. And the Bolts went against much better goaltending, they won't have a problem scoring against Crawford. Closer series than you think.

    The weird thing is they were -130 TB for game 1 when everyone else was at -115 and the line moved to settle with the Greeks #.

    I disagree home advantage will be huge in this series, for pure value & picturing Cinderella Crawford lying on his arse whilst Stamkos n co lift the cup I've made my choice and backing TB.

    Cups going to Florida fellas shout out to my boii packerz
    No Ruder my friend,the Cups going back to where it belongs the windy city.

    Yeah same deal with the Sharks,they have no heart and it has shown year in year out.

    It should tighten up after that crazy last rd,good luck with your pick.
