They are going at +800/+900 to win the damn thing on most sportsbooks. I don't like to bet on my teams but those odds are crazy nice for a team this good.
Tom Wilson should be suspended for the rest of the season, so that's nice. Fuck that guy.
This Canes team feels like the Cup team. No "super star" but a ton of really good players. The defense is elite, with the single best pairing in hockey. The top line is nasty, but on any given night the second line of Necas/Trocheck/Nino can carry the team. Rod has done a lot of tweaking over the season, but it seems he's kept that second line intact for the better part of the year. I'm a fan, they play really fast. Even the fourth line is going to be dangerous throughout the playoffs if we can get one of McGinn or Marty back. Geekie is turning into a very legit wing.
This is a much better team than the 2019 ECF team, for two main reasons. First, the skill level is much higher with Aho and Svetch developing, plus the emergence of guys like Necas and the addition of guys like Trocheck. Second, we're a lot tougher. Paquette and Hakanpaa are there for a reason. With them on the ice, there won't be another series like Boston where we get shoved around like that.
Tom Wilson beats up all of the NY Rangers:
NHL has no backbone. They'll suspend Wilson for the first two games of the playoffs and move on.
With any other player, I agree, but the NHL has had Wilson in their cross hairs for a while. Wilson will be gone for the last 4 regular season games, and probably at least 5 post-season games. The NHL full of bad asses. Just weird how Wilson pummels and intimidates the rest of the league. Scary dude. Heard that when Wilson was playing junior hockey, he was the same. Everyone knew that he was the one guy that no one f'd with.
I’m gonna be incredibly sad if Rod goes to Seattle. Need to get that man signed yesterday.
Is that a rumor? I'd have to overcome my distaste for the Kraken name if we landed The Bod.
I was wrong. Wilson was fined $5,000. He won't miss any time on the ice.
Did I say no backbone?????
