don't follow ice hockey (baseball and basketball for me) but Pittsburgh are playing the capitals who won the regular season title, why would they be favoured?
I know nobody cares but Willy Hills seems to have dropped a ******* with the odds for the playoffs.
St.Louis
Tampa
Pittsburgh treble is worth a go
St.Louis are heavy favourites but are just about evens
Fill your boots. Smash the bookies

The Caps were the highest rated team in the NHL regular season. Pittsburgh have more playoff experience and Sidney Crosby.
St.Louis vs Tampa Stanley Cup
Caps won...
At home, in overtime, in game 1...
Winning the regular season is no guarantee of winning the Stanley Cup, only twice in the last 9 seasons. When the Oilers went to the cup final in 2006 we qualified as the 8th seed in the western conference.Originally Posted by Brian Grantland
Pretty good shout for the cup final Mason min, would like to see the Blues win it. Nothing like the Stanley Cup in North American sport, intensity, speed and excitement.

The Stanley Cup is one huge c@nt of a thing.
Well the cup isnt but the plate bitties make it massive
Edit-Good sport. On the bucket list, when i did my south west US tour, Pheonix Coyotes were away when i was in Phoenix, San Jose Shark were away when i was in San Francisco and the LA Kings were at home but it was 250 dollars for the cheapest ticket. Sack that. I never thought about Anaheim for a ducks game.One day ill do it
The 3rd Period of Game 1 Sharks vs Predators was good. Atmosphere was bouncing, plenty of goals, Predators pulling their keeper & the two teams having a square go at full time.
All 3 of my tips are down so far
