00:00
One third of the way through the regular season, and if you look at the Stanley Cup odds, it
00:09
is still wide open.
00:11
It's not the Capitals who lead the East with the best record.
00:14
It's not the Wild in the West.
00:15
It's the Edmonton Oilers and Conor McDavid, eighth best record out of the Western Conference,
00:21
but they're the shortest price at plus 800.
00:23
Will this be the team to beat?
00:27
I think I mean, come playoff time, probably right when you have Conor McDavid and Leon
00:30
Drysdale that went to the Stanley Cup finals last year and forced the seventh game.
00:34
But I don't really like what I'm seeing from them so far.
00:37
They lost a couple important pieces in the offseason.
00:39
They could add near the deadline, but I like the Dallas Stars.
00:42
The Dallas Stars, a team that lost to Edmonton, lost to the Vegas Gold Knights a couple years
00:46
ago.
00:47
Those two teams went to the Stanley Cup finals and, you know, Vegas won a couple years ago,
00:51
but they rank among the leaders in shot attempts, shots, scoring chances, high danger chances,
00:55
goals, expected goals at five and five.
00:57
I really look at teams that dominate play five and five because in the playoffs, you
01:01
hear it all the time, right?
01:02
The whistles are put away.
01:03
You're not going to get five or six power plays a game.
01:06
Show me the team that has strong goal tending.
01:09
They're strong defensively.
01:10
They're among the leaders in eliminating those high danger chances at five and five.
01:15
They have the fifth best penalty kill in the NHL, allowing the third fewest goals per game
01:20
in the NHL, top five and five, five, say percentage as well.
01:23
And they got a great mix of youth and experience as well.
01:28
So they can hit you in a lot of different ways, like the Dallas Stars.
