Ok Chicago is solid but it appears the Lightning are right back to square #1 on not getting respect.

Bolts won the series 2-1 this year and have home-ice.

Neither could mean a thing but imo that equates to what should be almost an even series price...

 

[G.MONEY]

Really liking the Hawks here, yes a bit of a homer play for me, but they showed a lot winning game 6 and then game 7, this series should have plenty of goals scored as TB is not as physical as Ducks, with that said will probably wait to see if TB wins game one and then see if I can get a better Number

 

[theMadMan]

Like the over goals in all games !!

I dunno about that, I think it's about right.

No respect would be like -200.

A lot of the line is just a reflection of public perception, and gotta think the public is heavily leaning Chicago (more big names, more experience, etc). I think this line would get even action. The world would be on CHI at -110, no?

I'm hoping TB wins game 1 so I can hammer the Hawks for the series.

Last year, I think it was last year, maybe losing for sure now, but as I remember, it was game 7 in the Chicago stadium.

The LA Kings, as known as the cockroaches, because they keep coming back, were tied with the Blackhawks going into overtime in game 7, for another trip to the Stanley Cup final.

Needless to say, that was intense. And both went for it.

It ended finally with a fluke goal, from the blue line that deflected twice and into the top corner of the net, with the defense man Martinez taking the shot. Martinez also scored the overtime winner in game five at home against the Rangers to cinch the Cup. Rarely you will see an arena on edge for over 2 straight hours like the Staples Center. If you were there at that game, that is one game and one experience in your life you would never forget. They played a double overtime with at least 5 goal posts, and the crowd was going nuts. Martinez scored the two biggest goals in his career. It will never get any bigger than that.

Well, going off topic, but my point is, Chicago could have won the Cup last if it wasn't for that LA cockroach Kings Martinez fluke shot.

Maybe they should start calling the Blackhawks cockroaches because they are always coming back to the same position in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

I would be willing to wager that it does NOT go 7. Let me know if you're interested.

 

[HarryCaray]

I'm seeing -140/+120 now

Kings came back down 3-0 in the first round an were something like 7-0 in elimination games. The game 7 against the Blackhawks was in Chicago. The only team that could deny the Hawks is the Kings, both teams have dominated this decade. Should be another Cup for the Hawks.

Yup agreed. LA was the only team that could beat the Hawks last year. What a phenomenal series that was, and great run by your boys.

Hawks don't have to wait long to get that taste out of their mouth though, as I think they put another one on the mantle this year. I am looking for series exact game lines (don't see them yet), but I like CHI in 4 or 5. And I like this Tampa team.

 

[Polaris]

And I like this Tampa team.

Tampa is a good team, but not really that good. In fact, I would believe, the last time Tampa won the Cup, that team was better.

On that Tampa team, there was Vincent Lacavier, Martin St.Louis, Nikolai Kabibulin in goal the Berlin Wall or something like that. Then on defense there was Dan Boyle a pretty good defense-man, and who can forget, John Tortarella as coach. Also, they had this guy Brad Richards, who no one had heard of. A center, nice guy from Atlantic Canada, a rookie playing like he belongs. Seems like all the announcers on CBC were surprised, who was this guy?

Tampa won 2 game 7 at home, defeating Boston, then Calgary, both game 7 were 2-1 scores. Actually, Tampa should have loss the Cup because Calgary did score in overtime in Calgary in game 6 which would have gave them the Cup, but the goal did not count, and Martin St.Louis scored the OT winner, sending the series final game back to Tampa, in which a grinder scored both Tampa goals. Forget who it was.

Martin Gelinas

 

[phdinsports]

Sorry Gelinas "scored" in game six which was disallowed, Ruslan Fedotenko scored both game 7 goals.

 

[shale]

Tampa in 6 or 7 games...this team has that "IT" factor that cannot be explained.

 

[Mr.Jones]

I opined Tampa in seven in another thread. May come down to simple puck luck. So any significant + money is the way to go. Major case of public perception coloring this line.
