I'm a Pittsburgh fan but i just can't see them winning it 3 years in a row.This is one rough sport to have that happen,in fact i don't know if it has been done before,but maybe someone else might know.

So i have Nashville to win it, along with ST.Louis who is fighting for the last playoff spot.

Who does everybody else have?...I'm not a overly huge hockey follower like the other sports(except the NBA)so i'd like to see other opinions from people who really watch it a lot.


My buddy Sharky would have a good take on it as he is really into hockey,...maybe he'll pop in and give his 2 cents


The West is sick with many good teams there in my opinion, gonna wait to see who makes it in the west and east with match ups before giving any opinion, multiple teams will have their fate and seeding determined in the last couple days of the regular season.

been on a good run down the stretch, hopefully continues with this one tonight

72 LA Kings 60 minute line -0.5 -102 ....I like the value and price of the 60 minute line versus game line ..... tough spot for Minny playing 8 games in 13 days and being down arguably their top 2 defensemen.

Both Kings and Wild have clinched playoff births. I'm sitting on Kings 40-1 and Wild 30-1 and the only way they will meet is if it's in the Western Conference finals, so pulling for a Kings win tonight so they get that 3rd seed, but even if they get the 2nd Wild card it's all good

West is going to be fun in the playoffs, nice futures Reno
It's gonna be a great tourny. I will be tuning in to see what Vegas does the most. Didn't get to watch much of their regular season. I really hope to see a Vegas/LA series

I have Nashville at 10-1 to win it,bought it in vegas when i was out for the super bowl,also have the Blues but if they get in i don't expect them to go nowhere.



I watched Pittsburgh last night and boy they look scary again and they are my team,but i didn't expect them to win 3 championships in a row,i just might have over thought that one.

Big game in Colorado tonight. Last game of the season winner get their ticket punched. Colorado is at home and is a -130 favorite but... they have to win it in regulation. If they win it in OT they are out and Blues get it. Blue just need to make to OT and they are in. Should be interesting if it's tied they may pull the goalie.

Another interesting possibility, and I'm not sure here, but does anyone know what the their records are head to head? Cause if Avalanche have the tie breaker head to head then they just have to win it before it goes to a shoot out. Which would mean 3 on 3 and in which case, in the last minute we could see a pulled goalie on 3-3 hockey.

It's the game to watch tonight.

[h=2]Tampa Bay Lightning (Atlantic No. 1) vs. New Jersey Devils (wild card No. 2)[/h]A year removed from missing out on the playoffs, the Lightning earned the No. 1 seed in the East. Speaking of "a year removed," the Devils were near the basement of the league last season, and they used their draft lottery luck on No. 1 pick Nico Hischier, who scored 52 points in his rookie campaign. And oh yeah, there's Hart Trophy candidates Taylor Hall of the Devils and Nikita Kucherov of the Lightning too. Have fun, goalies!

[h=2]Boston Bruins (Atlantic No. 2) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs(Atlantic No. 3)[/h]It's never a bad thing when two Original Six teams square off in a postseason series, and the last time these squads met in the playoffs, in 2013, the ending was quite memorable.
Season series (Maple Leafs 3-1-0):

[h=2]Washington Capitals (Metro No. 1) vs. Columbus Blue Jackets (wild card No. 1)[/h]As is tradition, Washington took home another division title in 2017-18, and the Capitals went 3-1-0 against their first-round opponents from Columbus, Ohio. Of course, the Blue Jackets won the final game in the regular-season series and enter the playoffs as one of the league's hottest clubs.

[h=2]Pittsburgh Penguins (Metro No. 2) vs. Philadelphia Flyers(Metro No. 3)[/h]The Penguins owned the season series against the Flyers, winning all four games. However, the playoffs are a different animal, and Claude Giroux & Co. have always been a tough out for Sidney Crosby's band of flightless birds.

[h=2]Nashville Predators (Central No. 1) vs. Colorado Avalanche (wild card No. 2)[/h]The Predators won all four games against the Avalanche this season and enjoy perhaps the best home-ice advantage in the league. The Preds don't have anyone like Nathan MacKinnon on their roster, but few teams have a goalie as dependable as Nashville's Pekka Rinne.

[h=2]Winnipeg Jets (Central No. 2) vs. Minnesota Wild (Central No. 3)[/h]Winnipeg's ascent to being one of the league's dominant teams included a 3-1-0 record against Minnesota this season. While the Wild enjoyed a bounce-back, 42-goal campaign from Eric Staal, they limp into the playoffs with a few key injuries, none bigger than the season-ending ankle fracture to franchise defenseman Ryan Suter.

[h=2]Vegas Golden Knights (Pacific No. 1) vs. Los Angeles Kings (wild card No. 1)[/h]Vegas capped off the most dominant season ever by an expansion team in winning the Pacific Division title, but the first-round matchup against Los Angeles is less than ideal: Each team won two games in the season series (one in regulation, one in overtime). Will the Golden Knights' march continue or will the Kings rekindle their dynasty?

[h=2]Anaheim Ducks (Pacific No. 2) vs. San Jose Sharks(Pacific No. 3)[/h]The Ducks jumped the Sharks on the penultimate day of the regular season to earn home-ice advantage for the series. While San Jose won the season series 3-0-1, three of the games went to a shootout -- an outcome that won't be possible now that we're into playoff mode.

I dont see any series prices yet.

I like the Flyers to take out the Penguins in the 1st round.

Maple Leafs will give the Bruins all they can handle.
