Ottawa was just so banged up.

And Montreal, they're just not built to absorb that pressure.

Kind of weather a storm and then spring counters the other way.

Whereas Vegas, that's one of their strengths.

Like with Marner, Jack Eichel.

even their, their defense is really mobile and they can, they make great breakout passes.

Rasmus Anderson, Noah Hannafin, Shea Theodore, like these guys will join the rush to create on-man rushes.

And that's how you beat Carolina.

Every year we see it with Rod Brendamore teams.

They get to the, to the Eastern conference final, and then they run into a team that can beat them on the counter.

They've done it against the Rangers.

They've done it against the Panthers.

And I think Vegas is built to do that.

So I think that in, in,

in a series that looks pretty much like a coin flip the stylistic advantage to me goes to to vegas um with their ability to counter punch so um yeah i'd much rather bet vegas and if you can you know maybe you wait maybe they go down one nothing here and you bet them um at an even bigger number but i would lean towards vegas and like i said it's just not the most exciting price out there simon what are you hearing from inside your circles

Yeah, hockey's a little different from professional bettors, right?

Especially in a matchup like this where it's so evenly matched.

I think Carolina is the favorite, right, with their minus 150 series price.

But, you know, most guys I talk to, I feel like they're doing what Lee Buff's doing, right?

They're kind of taking a position after game one.
