00:00But you got some of the best teams.

00:07People put money on these teams.

00:08It was a lock for the Predators to be in the mix.

00:10It was a lock for the Oilers to be in the mix.

00:12We've seen the Oilers have shaky starts though, and then end up in the postseason.

00:15So I had to get your opinion on this.

00:18Looking at the Stanley Cup odds right now, Oilers are still sitting at the top at plus

00:21800.

00:22Stars are right behind them, plus 950.

00:24You got the Hurricanes at plus 1000.

00:27Florida Panthers tied at the same number.

00:29Rangers 12-1 odds, and then the Devils at 13-1 odds.

00:34Which team should really kind of start bowing out of this contest?

00:38Which team is probably looking like, you need more time, you need more development, you

00:42need a new season?

00:44Well, I mean, you can see it with those, that the two Western Conference teams are maybe,

00:51I don't want to say clear and far away above the other ones.

00:56But they are, perception-wise, in the betting space.

01:00Then it's that big clump of whatever that you find maybe in the bottom of your hockey

01:07bag when you don't clean out your equipment.

01:09You know that stuff that's in there, that smell?

01:12It's all these teams in the middle of the East.

01:15Now that's probably going to be the Final Four, right?

01:19The Hurricanes, the Panthers, the Rangers, the Devils.

01:22I don't want to say that Maple Leafs would be that team that you just referenced.

01:27But we've seen the Leafs fall in the spring in Toronto for years.

01:32And it's just one of those ones where, look, they're playing good right now.

01:37And they're going to, I want to believe that they can actually be that team that everybody

01:43wants them to be, that's a Maple Leafs fan, or someone that bets them to win the Stanley

01:47Cup.

01:48For years we had people come in the book here in Vegas from Canada, Leafs fans, and bet

01:54them to win the Cup every year.

01:55And the joke was, you know this is just for this year and not your lifetime.
