    Circle 1/18 I have as soon as Tampa lost with 3 seconds left in Vegas , they were to say , pissed . They wanted that win .
    So Vegas goes to Nashville 1/16 , then Tampa will be fully rested and off for a full week and ready . Tampa will want this game , Vegas off Preds , had it circles as soon as the lost in Vegas and how they lost .
    Ready to bet it now haha

    Pump the brakes men....

    I've seen teams come out of the gate w a ton of enthusiasm before only to fade away into mediocrity. MN was unbeatable until Feb last year then played .333 hockey and 1st round KO. Sport is streaky.

    Not buying it yet...

    Same teams will be there in the end...

    Pitt, Chi, Wash, TB, Nash, NY, etc

    Not too sure but I do remember they were around +725 to make the playoffs

    I think the longer shots in the nhl are +20000- +25000 pre season to win the cup

    I definitely don't think so on Vegas this year, trap.

    I do still like my Pit bet but Tampa is looking a bit silly. You'd have to think Stamkos has a cup in him as the man in TB and this could very well be the year.

    If Pit is healthy come playoff time though, +1400 is a gorgeous price for the defending champs, imo.

    I feel like it's not gonna happen for Ovie as last year was his best shot, which probably means they'll win.

    Many are surprised how well the Golden Knights are but the way they got to pick their team from the rest of the league almost assured them of being pretty good.

    Yeah and it's awesome for the game and for all of sports I agree, if they did it their first year that would most certainly be pretty incredible. I just don't see it.

    Yes, visiting team coaches will have to give the players curfews in Vegas.

    It will make a difference. No more late night parties with hookers and blow.

    exactly what i was thinking............... are the knights games priced consistent with stanley cup odds? there's no reason they would have to be... i would auto-fade them at some point soon, although maybe road more than home..........

    do people actually think this is the case? ex-hookers and blow of course. late nights and huge hangovers... my inclination is to say while it's fun to speculate that it isn't the case.

    i was toronto raptors season tix holder and they had tons of 12:30 sunday games. toronto is massive party town (not completely sure why... although very liberal strip joints for one). anyway, i think it affected our home players more than the road players.. vegas would be different was home team won't be partying most weeknights, if at all

    I have devils +10000 before season started

    If I remember correctly they wereally one of the biggest underdogs, Vegas probably close to that I'd think maybe 15

    Not sure if you've ever hung around hockey players, they are huge drinkers/partiers

    It's part of the culture, blow is huge
