Because I have to, I want to congratulate the St. Louis Blues for winning their FIRST ever Stanley Cup. They had the worst record in the NHL back in January but ended the season hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup last night. I won’t be a sore loser…
We had the complete opposite, our Tampa Bay Lightning had the NHL’s best record and won the Presidents’ Trophy and but were swept in the first round of the playoffs. What a shame… but we have hope for next year.
According to Sports Illustrated, the Lightning are the odds-on pick in Vegas to win the Stanley Cup next season. Westgate Las Vegas Superbook has the Lightning as a 6–1 favorite. Caesars sportsbook also has Tampa Bay are next year’s title favorite.
