00:00How about, here we go, odds to win the Cup.

00:03First night of the season, odds to win it all,

00:07and I cannot believe that once again, people are falling.

00:11They are falling for it, again,

00:14at the start of a hockey season.

00:15They think that the Edmonton Oilers are going to win,

00:19and I get it, they were what?

00:21Era game away last year.

00:23Game seven, Stanley Cup final, and Florida beat them.

00:28But I just don't see it.

00:29We talk about this every year, don't we?

00:31How hard is it when you get all the way to the end

00:36and you lose, and you now have to go all the way back

00:42and get yourself there?

00:44Very difficult to do.

00:46You will not see me get $1 on Edmonton this year.

00:49No doubt.

00:50Florida did it, and you know,

00:53but they're a different ilk, if you ask me,

00:55than Edmonton.

00:56I will not deny that Edmonton is deep and talented

01:00and fast and all the rest,

01:02but there seems to be some kind of malaise,

01:06like the Black Cloud Diner over that team.

01:08Like, how about how they were down 3-0,

01:10came all the way back and made a seventh game, right?

01:14And they still lost.

01:15They always seem to find a way to screw it up,

01:19and it's almost like the Leafs.

01:21They always screw it up.

01:23So the only one on there that I think makes sense

01:27is what Denny was saying, like the Rangers at 13-1.

01:29They were in the conference final.

01:31How do you give them that price?

01:33How do you have the New Jersey Devils at 11-1 odds

01:38over the Rangers?

01:40The Rangers are so much better than the Devils,

01:42it's not even funny.

01:43The Devils were awful last year.

01:46You're telling me they got Markstrom

01:47and they're going to the Stanley Cup Finals?

01:49My ass.

01:51It is nonsense that the Devils are ahead of the Rangers

01:54on that Stanley Cup board.

01:57It's absolute nonsense.

01:57It makes no sense to me.

01:58And I'll tell you a team a little further down,

02:00and they got a little bit more spotlight on them this year

02:02because of the moves that they made,

02:04but 16-1 for Nashville.

02:08They were a good team last year.

02:09Soros is a good goalie.

02:11I think they're coached well.

02:13You add Stamkos and Marcheseau to that mix,

02:17guys who have won cups.

02:19That's a great call.

02:20That's a team that I think I'd take a little shot at

02:23earlier in the year here at 16-1 with Nashville.

02:26To bet on the reg, like regularly.

02:29Yeah.

02:31Yep.

02:32I think so.

02:32So Nashville, I'm going to keep my eye on.

02:34In fact, before they play,

02:35I'm going to get myself my Nashville ticket for the season

02:38and make sure I'm locked in there at 16-1.

02:41I'm going to back them a little bit there.
