as we look at our four out east which underdog do you believe is the most likely to strike that
00:05
opening round upset yeah look at those two canadian teams up at the top i mean montreal
00:10
against the capitals and the ottawa senators against the toronto maple leafs the battle of
00:14
ontario there i think the most competitive on the board there certainly is uh florida and tampa bay
00:20
and much like i talked about colorado and dallas i feel like whoever gets out of that series will
00:26
be the team that represents the eastern conference i mean those two teams are loaded you look at at
00:31
florida and tampa and and the last five years one of those two one of those two teams have been in
00:35
the stanley cup finals we had tampa three years in a row florida looking to get back uh for their third
00:39
straight season but in terms of upset guys i mean the canadians like the capitals right i talked about
00:44
st louis only five four regulation losses since the four nations faced off the canadians only five so
00:50
they've been competitive they've hung in a lot of games they've been playing playoff hockey for quite
00:54
some time i do think at the end of the day the capitals will win that series but i think the
00:58
canadians will hang around if you wanted to do some series spread uh i could see that series going
01:04
seven games uh given the situation in washington logan thompson's health is is questionable right
01:11
now we don't know if he's going to be ready to go montembo's been playing really good hockey the
01:14
canadians play uh with a lot of pace and speed using our edge stats are number three in terms of one of
01:19
the quickest teams in the nhl but the ottawa senators have been they're they're an underrated
01:24
squad and the maple leafs core although i think this is the best leafs team we've seen in a few
01:30
years they haven't shown us that they can go on a run and and ottawa and brady could chuck the first
01:36
time in the playoffs they have a horse in the blue line and jake sanderson who's going to play 26 to 28
01:41
minutes a night here in the playoffs they have a goalie in all mark uh who won the vesna a couple
01:45
years ago he's a solid uh goaltender so i think that ottawa they bring a a nice bland of of skill
01:52
and and toughness and and trotto will be tested uh so i i think that the the sends are an interesting
02:00
upset pick and the the one series i think that won't be that competitive is you know the biggest
02:07
favorite on the board there's the carolina hurricanes against the devils uh unfortunately jack
02:11
q's uh not there uh some questions offensively defensively looks like dougie hamilton will be
02:16
back but uh i think carolina you know you want to take them in vegas maybe uh you know as a a series
02:23
parlay you can get plus 115
