Why tf is Colorado a huge favorite to win the stanley cup?

Am I missing something? 

The Panthers and TB are vastly superior to them and also Avalanche lost twice to the Predators.

I would like to know who you think is going to win outright.

Vaselisky is on.  Stamkos et al.  Versus Keumper n Landeskog....

Panthers have a weakness I cant put my finger on....

Tbay is my #1.

I can tell you definitely don't watch the Avalanche.

They're favored cuz thy have 2 of the top players in league (MacK and Makar) also a plethora of other talent, Kadri Rantanen Landeskog Toews Bura, and lots of depth beyond. Goalie situation is a little better then average but not elite. Kuemper could find form though, and was before cheap shot by minny player. They score at will and can throw 4 or 5 on anyone any given night. It'll come down to coaching adjustments and injury luck In playoffs. But they're almost unbeatable at home, best home record and currently 14 games unbeaten streak in regulation, 13 -0 -1 I think. 

Avs are dangerous, watch a game or 2 and you'll see what I'm talking about. 

I am bias and avs Homer, so disclaimer there. Nonetheless not a team to be taken lightly. I could probably keep pumping them up too but I won't. 

Hello Reesp and   , Avs  home record currently 16-2-1 right up there with Panthers with a record of 21-3 , it took them a while to get going but once they got healthy they have been on fire. Second in GF. with 156 also right up there with Panthers 159 . Goaltending could be weakest link but maybe Kuemper will find his form again , if he does lookout. This team is also built for the playoffs and you've got a poor mans Marchand in Kadri , don't like the guy but admire what he accomplishes. 

Anyway best of luck to you and your Avs. 

Thanks guys.

I'm very new to sports betting and haven't really followed hockey this in-depth before so I appreciate your responses.

I also like TB and am fond of St. Louis. Idk why I just like there style 

Cheers and gl tonight guys 

Hey thanks for the welcome. I'm a longtime lurker on here and use to post on sbr alot. 

I might be pretty bias towards my team, but I can feel were due. Couple of tough losses in semis last two years, team is hungry and in prime or areas biggest pieces are all in prime. It will definitely come down to injury luck and goalie/d play. They will focus more on d as playoffs get closer. But if they lock up the presidents cup they should be hard to beat 4 out of 7 with home ice. FLA is the other team I like alot too, them and Carolina. Tb is hard to look past also having won last 2. 

But Goodluck to you and your plays as well!

Good luck as well Kem! Definitely don't overlook my avs, they're hungry and I wanna believe due as well.

McKinnon said end of last season. He hasn't won shit. He's hungry for the cup this season. It's now or never. 

Oh yeah he's ready to win finally, he doesn't even turn it up until playoffs lol 

Have you watched them play? They are relentless and never give up and they are stacked with players on both ends who can change the outcome of a game. That team is beyond scary. 

I wouldn't trust Panthers as good as they are because Bobrovsky in the playoffs = not getting my $

Tampa is the best team around and then maybe Avs if they can get better goaltending / their D comes into form right as the playoffs come around. 

Then I don't think we will know how good Pens can be for a while here. 

Theres a classic scene from braveheart, a man walks up to a young William Wallace and says, " Iam your uncle......Cale Makarrrrrrrr!!!!!! 

Real s#!+ 

fast fact Avs fell behind Leafs 3-0  and demolished them 5-3 .

weakness is in goal.

the move might be to rock the world and grab fleury for the cup run 

Fleury to Edm. would make sense

Goaltending is their problem IMO if they get an upgrade look out.
