Nashville series price is the ultimate lock. I said it before game 1 when it was like -125. But regardless they will win. Might go 6 or 7 tho. I had Nashville/Pitt but as long as the Predators get there I don't really care for the other series. It is one of those typical star studded public attraction teams vs the hard working underrated team that are breaking out now. The way the predators do not let you skate free and feel all comfy out there is my type of style. Same thing with Atletico Madrid. The energy and the effort and concern is through the roof. Granted, I don't know shit about hockey.

Pz - with the injuries that team has suffered they shouldn't even be in the playoffs let alone in the conference finals. Crosby is a tough SOB and I've always loved Kessel. Funny how in Toronto he was a malcontent but now for Pittsburgh competitor. Only guy I don't like true douchebag on the team is Kunitz who is as dirty as you can get.
Unfortunately for Crosby, he probably won't be able to do his own grocery shopping in 20 years because like the NFL, the NHL doesn't care about its players health.
Mob--I like Nash to win it all myself but we'll have to see how they respond to getting beat up two night's ago. Nash is not going to win in Anaheim's end. GL
