I dont believe hes well off. He was on a trip in Vegas, he probably won some cash and decided to drop it on his favorite team. $400 is an odd bet placement. Why no an even 500 or 100?

Hell, I'm going to Vegas in the fall, I'll probably make a bunch of season bets. I remember last time I was there seeing lines on whether such-and-such team would make the playoffs... some of those and maybe some winner bets too. Just not $400, geez.

Because of the odds, it would result in an even $100,000 "win" amount. If someone likes nice round numbers.

Of course it's actually $10,400 but that doesn't matter!

Its impossible to replicate it, but trying to copy the formula can work. CBJ have a great shot next year.

On another note, the Maple Leafs now have the longest cup drought... and haven't won a playoff series since before iPhones existed...

I just looked at futures betting for 2020 cup winners and they have the leafs as 2nd best odds... how in the fuck. Although part of me believes that's because so many people bet on them and we do have a slim chance they dont wanna have to pay out that much if a miracle happens.

So the plan was the lull the Bruins into a false sense of security so St. Louis can win on the road again... right?

A team hasn't had a losing home record in the playoffs and won the cup since 1935.

But yeah, the owner's going to be facing a virtual lynch mob if they lose game 7...

hell yeah

Road record: 10-3
Home record: 6-7

one road loss each in Dallas (Game 4), San Jose (Game 1) and Boston (Game 1). Took all 3 games in Winnipeg. Coincidentally Dallas was the only series they were the "home" team...

The Leafs could get literally nothing for either of those players and I'd be ecstatic because it'd fix our cap situation immediately.

Them getting literally nothing is actually wishful thinking because I can't see any way we don't take on a contract in a trade, especially involving Marleau.

Well a lot can happen this summer, he can trip over the wrong object and land on the soft luscious terrain of Robidas Island!

Or trade for someone with a fat contract without a no-move and instantly dump them on the Marlies. If those contracts even exist anymore.

Surprisingly there are some big dollar ones that appear to not, including the top 2 AAVs of McDavid and Matthews.

https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/active

The only one that really works (unwarranted remaining money and term) is Shea Weber on the Habs, doesn't have either a no-move OR a no-trade and is way past his prime. Take his contract off their books and just eat it in the minors, and they get the younger and more reasonbly-termed Zaitsev back. Of course Marleau's trade request was to go back to the west coast so we couldn't really dump him on them either, guess it ruins that...

I'll leave getting out of this mess to the professionals.

Marleau is actually only owed like a million or some low number after his bonus kicked in so maybe we can find a cap floor team that doesn't actually need to pay him all that much.

Hey, they made a nice run for the playoffs this year! Can we still treat them as the league's dumping ground?

Man some of the stuff I'm reading now:

-Ryan O'Reilly "suffered a cracked rib in the second round vs Dallas and has played through it since. Says Blues medical staff was tremendous in helping deal with it."

-Binnington record for saves in a series-clinching win by a rookie goalie with 32, tops Ken Dryden (31) and Patrick Roy (30), good company

-"Blues played in 3 elimination games this postseason (Dallas 6 and 7, Boston 7). Binnington in those 3 games: 83 saves on 86 shots. Absolute monster"'

-They have a ton of RFAs due to re-sign, including Binnington...

-I've been playing Gloria on repeat for the past hour and I really have to go to sleep

Just remember St. Louis - Dallas were in a brutal Game 7 Double OT. Just goes to tell you how one bad (or good) bounce changes everything.

More than that, right before they won that game, Benn had a wide open net and just missed the angle on his shot.

Wild rumored to trade Spurgeon. How about no? Fenton says he won't, but the fact Zucker and Spurgeon are trade bait at all says "ugh."

Not that I am against blowing the team up further, but Spurgeon has been the best defenseman they've had, even long before signing Suter. It would kinda suck.

This also probably means the Blackhawks are likely drafting Turcotte instead of Byram, which is not ideal.

I'm not a fan of this trade, given that Maatta is said to be slow. This defense does not need slow.

A salary dump where Pittsburgh gave up no sweeteners. I really don't see what Bowman is trying to accomplish here, unless this is just the beginning. Maatta is better than the cavalcade of bums they had on the bottom pairings last year, but I would hope the goal is to have an actually good defense, not just slightly less bad.
