Picks were 3-0 and somehow you catch a 1-2. 

Baseball betting in a nutshell with so many games and such a long season. Move on, eventually you’ll run into a an under 8 play that’s 4-3 after the 4th inning and cashes to even it out. 

That's what Bennett does. Gets into the dirty areas, gets under players skin. Clearly pushed into Skinner and he got the penalty lol. Probably a little bit of acting, but putting an opposing player in position to hit your goalie is just stupid. Skinner played dead for a minute and got a random after the fact call because of it so good acting by him as well.

That's exactly what Bennett wants though... Kane or Perry or whoever to retaliate and a Panther PP as a result. They got a few of those types of players now with the addition of Marchand. 

I think tonight is especially important for Edmonton given how last year went. Down 3-0 before showing any sign of life. 

Also think the Hyman injury is big at this point because of the depth Florida has. Advantage Florida as this series goes on. The oilers have the stars but the cats roll much deeper overall.

 I’ve said for the last 5-6 years that my Red Wings would win another cup before the Leafs did. Fully knowing the Wings were entering a full on rebuild from the ground floor & the Leafs would be making the playoffs consistently - solely because of the cap hell the Leafs put themselves in with 4 guys and the types of players those guys are.

I gotta say though at this point you have to build on it. Did not forsee the cap increases that are coming the next 3 years. From the current 88M all the way to 113M. 

Now those cap hits seem way more reasonable with plenty to build around. Yeah Marner is a playoff ghost when it gets physical but he’s a 100 point guy and you need to put better support pieces with him. Should have the financial means to do so now. Other finesse guys aren’t the answer unless it’s a power play. 

Maybe trade Knies over to Detroit and keep Marner, eh? 

Think the Scheifele injury is big. Game 7 Binnington is an enticing look at +145 vs a guy who crumbles in the post season... 

Shocked they called that penalty. Dont like seeing that in a game 7. Dallas played well for about 10 minutes tonight, got a few bounces and that’s all it took

0-0. ice in Dallas is so bad. Heavily favors the stars style. Puck bouncing all over, guys falling everywhere

@Blb

 Tend to agree with the goals but if that’s how you feel why would you lay -170 with a road team who’ve historically been terrible in game 7’s with the worse of the 2 goalies when you could take over 5.5 for plus money.

fwiw the Avs were my cup pick pre playoffs but idk I think they lose tonight. Lots stacked against them imo, hope for a great game!

Crazy amount of $$ to bet on that goaltending & DeBoers game 7 prep

They suck. Skeleton of last years squad. Save your money.

@TheBoyWonder

 My post had nothing to do about the HC. Know nothing about him nor do I care to

Hands down better? They needed a 21-0 run at home and then had two wins by a total of 3 points. One the league immediately said was an error in officiating. 

Pretty evenly matched teams

That’s crazy they can review a play for possession and then apply a foul that gives 2 free throws to make it a 3 pt game…. Line 2.5. 

nothing fishy about that 

Updated for 2026 bracket pickers 

0 for 39 and the Johnnies don’t survive the opening weekend.

@msucurt

 Prob done that 10x lol it happens. Always ok to take a few days off. Don’t chase the losses wait for the one you like… 

@msucurt

They were covering for 99.8% of the game weren’t they? Woulda been a pretty lucky MSU cover but that’s just me

@Mardyball

 GL

Michigan

Florida

Houston

Duke

Florida over Houston

Was just going to post this. Much has been made about the 10-0 start. But pretty sure the top seed that we beat was a 10 before Michigan beat A&M…. 

I brought up a stat pre tourney about how teams not ranked in the top 25 preseason and finished top 10 in the AP earning a 1/2 seed were 0-38 in making the final 4 and only like 9 of 24 had survived the first weekend… 

St John’s and MSU were the qualifiers this year. The Johnnie’s made it 0-39 and 9 of 25. MSU might be in for a fight tonight. This is the game they just gotta survive imo.

Conference is looking overrated per usual now
