Will be watching the BANNER being hung at the forum in Tampa on Wednesday!!

STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

 

[WildBill]

I would be stunned if the Lightning win 2 games. About all they have to hope for is the annual Ottawa collapse, but otherwise they are seriously overmatched. Good luck anyways, at least you already have the coveted banner hanging.

Think Dallas is very underrated and look for them to be up there at least to the final round if not to the championship game.

Question Bill

Would you be more stunned if they were to win at least two games in this series..........or at this time two years ago believing they would run the table and win the CUP?

I would think the latter.

:toast:

 

[WildBill]

Blue,

By my math you could get close to 40-1 for the Lightning to win the East just doing series parlays. My estimated math:

Ottawa +405
Carolina +220
East Finals +150
5.05*3.20*2.50 = 39.4-1

Fish they were the #1 seed and had what figured to be an easy first two rounds. There wasn't much doubt they would have a good shot at the Cup. This year's team strikes no fear into anyone. A losing record on the road facing nothing but road series. I'm sorry Fish, but looks like a sweep on paper to me, but because its hockey I figure they might pull one out at home.

To be honest, as a Bolts fan, honestly think they would have a BETTER than EVEN chance of beating ANY team in the EAST in the first round and would have backed those feelings with HARD COLD CASH...........with OTTAWA, in more agreement more with you than believing they can win this series.......and don't even have the inclination to take them at +400 in this series.

Think about that, I would take the BOLTS at a mere +110 with ANY team in the EAST and will not take +400 against the SENS.

I mean this seriously and understand I would have gotten a lot better than +110 against any other opponent.

The SENS own the Bolts recently......BIGTIME.

[PokerKingJim]

East Finals: Ottawa over New Jersey in 5
West FInals: Calgary over Detroit in 7
Stanley Cup: Ottawa over Calgary in 6

 

[lander]

Calgary over the Senators (unless the league officials see to it that another 04' ref job occurs to ensure the cups lands in the US).

Forgot about this -- just picked this same outcome in 6 in the office pool today :thumbsup2:
