Ek I'm on sportsbook placing a number of bets for the year. I've got money on Sorokin winning the Calder and Vezina, Caps to miss playoffs, Vegas to miss playoffs, Columbus to win the division. Any other tips? I only bet what I can afford to lose so it's just good fun. Did the Buzztron pick the Cup winner?

Carolina is missing the playoffs and Philly is winning the President's trophy with fewer points. Ducks and Coyotes are both playing 59 games. Red Wings are winning the Cup. Riley Barber wins the Conn Smythe trophy. Cleared waivers revenge factor +4. Trust the formula.

Ek,
How come there are no back to back (same day) games included in the schedule as your “trusted source” led us to believe?

Any refs lurking in here?

I need to get the Leafs prediction thread locked at 7 pm tonight.

Because logistically it couldn't work with the two Toronto teams sharing the 40,000 seat arena:

Ek, very interesting point on the empty arenas. So young players will benefit because they don't get distracted by opposing fans taunting them with chants that are probably not even distinguishable when on the ice, but still. Meanwhile, veteran players don't get the boost that they need from their fans. Maybe they'll use more Red Bulls or smelling salts to get that boost. Anyway, I'm going to factor that into my betting strategy. Thanks!

We've known this for quite some time - don't be too hard on yourself - for some of you, hockey knowledge just doesn't come that easily.

The Florida Panthers have a clear advantage playing with no fans because they typically have more of the opposing fan base in their building than their own fans. Plus they already have great crowd noise recordings they’ve been using for years

The empty-arena advantage would apply to younger Panthers like Ekblad, Barkov, Duclair, etc...But older Panthers like Bobrovsky, Stralman, Hornquist will struggle because the fan noise is what gives them an extra boost of power.

So here locally (st Louis) Hulu and YouTube have dropped fox sports Midwest. The only way to watch Blues play is to have at&t and I refuse to deal with those scum. Anybody have any suggestions as to how I could watch my Blues when not on national broadcast?

I am beyond pissed off

I was going to drink tonight anyway while watching the game but now I have a reason to pre drink heavily. (frank)ING TV PROVIDERS. (frank)ERS
