00:00Who's favored in each of these series?

00:03Because, look, obviously with a few,

00:04we've got some bigger spreads than others

00:06when it comes to the Stanley Cup playoffs.

00:08As far as the East goes, look at that.

00:10Washington, minus 275.

00:12They are favored against Montreal in the first round.

00:18Elsewhere, New Jersey, you mentioned it.

00:20Let me stop and give you this number.

00:22Minus 285 for Carolina.

00:26Devils plus 230.

00:27Devils plus 230.

00:31Wow.

00:32Take a shot.

00:33Listen, I would love to see them give them a series

00:37because I think they're overrated.

00:40And remember, they screw it up every year.

00:45I mean, they're another one.

00:46They're like the Leafs.

00:47Every year, the Canes screw it up.

00:50Where are all these Stanley Cups?

00:52Would they win one?

00:54They won one.

00:55Yeah.

00:56And that was another lifetime.

00:58But they've been predicted to win four or five of them.

01:02This group has won nothing.

01:04This Brindamore group has won nothing with him as the coach.

01:08They've won some series.

01:10They've made it to the finals.

01:11They've won a couple rounds.

01:12He's bad luck, this guy.

01:13Now, he won as a player 20 years ago.

01:17He won as a player today.

01:17I don't care.

01:19But this team has never gotten there to the end of the road since they've been together.

01:25And I don't think they're going to either this year.

01:27I don't think this team is as good as the teams that have lost the last few years.

01:31But once again, they're the number two, they're the second, they're co-favorite, right?

01:37Like, is it Florida and Carolina?

01:38Yeah, they're right there.

01:39Yeah, it's Florida and Carolina.

01:41They're the teams in the East that everybody says they've got to beat.

01:44I don't think so either.

01:47I think that, let's say they did beat the Devils.

01:51I think that Washington will beat them.

01:53Would it be great if they lost to the Devils?

01:56It would be great.

01:57I'm sure there's a lot of Devils fans around here who would be happy to see that as well.

02:02But I think that Washington will beat them.

02:03Well, there's no other teams from around here playing.

02:05So, I mean, can we pull for the Devils to upset the Canes?

02:10I have no reason not to.

02:12Like, I go to Devils games, as you know, and I'd like to see them upset the Canes.

02:19And it would definitely be an upset with no Hughes.

02:21But it's not like they're all a bunch of peas and they're going to lie down and not put their skates on and go out and play.

02:28I mean, they act like the series is over before it even starts.

02:31Like, that's what really turns me off about it.

02:34Like, okay, so you're saying they have no chance at all to play in these games.

02:39Yeah, my ass.

02:43That's certainly how they're acting.

02:44That's for sure.

02:46They're not that good.

02:47Everyone acts like they're this great juggernaut.

02:50Just stop.

02:51A little bit closer odds for Florida and Tampa.

02:56Florida's minus 118.

02:58Tampa minus 102.

02:59I've got here.

03:00There you go.

03:00Minus 118, minus 102 for Tampa and Florida.

03:04That's a good price on the Lightning.

03:04It is.

03:06I'll tell you what else is a good price.

03:09For it to go seven games plus 190, I think it's a seven-game series.

03:14I think it's going to be a fight.

03:15It's going to be a fight all the way to the end with these two teams.

03:19And it'll go the distance.

03:20And the other east, of course, is Toronto, who is also heavy lumber against Ottawa.

03:27Minus 176.

03:29Ottawa plus 142.

03:29Yeah, I don't think that price is that scary for Toronto.

03:34They're better than Ottawa.

03:36Go prove it.

03:37Like, you know what?

03:38Enough of this Leafs choking stuff.

03:42I mean, just for one, go play some hockey in the postseason and win.

03:46You're loaded.

03:48What are you doing?

03:49Like, they are the worst.

03:51Like, that's not a heavy price on them.

03:54And I think that's because they choke.

03:57That's why it's only five, seven and six.

04:00I think that that should be, normally would be more in the twos, like Carolina is and like Washington is.

04:07But because of their history, that's why the price, you're getting it for under two bills.
