Stanley Cup Playoffs Question --> Taking Tampa or the Field to lift the Cup?

[scottkoz20]

if you are betting person, is it Tampa or one of the other 15 teams in the field

Field for me as the Cup is coming back to Canada :)

They're not the '85 Oilers. Smart money is on the field.

I'm rooting for Tampa, I don't want to see another 95/96 Red Wings situation.

maybe on players Day with the Cup

Toronto has virtually no chance - sorry Leaf fans, stop planning the parade now! IF they get past Boston, Tampa is waiting for them and IF they get past Tampa, how much is really in the tank left for the Caps?

Winnipeg should have dominated the Central with Nashville and they now have to deal with St. Louis which has been one of the best teams since January - I could still see them getting to a WCF vs. .....

Calgary... they do have a shot and I can see a Flames vs. Lightning final, but I can't see anyone beating Tampa 4 out of 7.

if tampa meets boston

no chance for them

tampa may be fast

but boston will smoke them.

btw
if boston gets by tor..

just because bh- betmen
wants the cup in the usa

the cup belongs in canada.

The field

Have to take the Field in a bet like this:

If I get the Field, I'm guaranteed to have AT LEAST one time in the finals. If you take Tampa, you're guaranteed nothing.


Having said all that: Tampa is the favorite, and I expect they're going to win it.

STL beat the Lightning in both of their reg season games. Problem is going to be getting past WPG in the first round...

Play off hockey is much different than reg, season I vote field. Looking after first round I may say Winnipeg, kind of partial.
