It's going to be interesting to see how Landeskog keeps up for the Avalanche. No games in 3 years because of injury is almost unheard of I think. Yes Stars have their hands full.
Oilers haven't clicked all year so this may be the Kings' year. St Louis will be tough for the Jets.
I don't see any complete lopsided odds this year. Even the Habs have a chance.

NoMich, your engagement date is 20 years ago, what do you know that we don't?

I'm worried about Quinn Hughes as well who is carrying two injuries at the moment while playing huge minutes.
I'll watch some of these games but yeah, as mainly a hockey fan, I don't really feel the hype and I don't think the winner is going to be in any sense a legendary team talked about decades from now, unlike most Olympics or World Cup or Canada Cup winners. Not enough time for drama.

Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society and sports
This has become ridiculous on Canadian hockey broadcasts. The play by play announcers are (presumably required) to bring up this shit all the time, and whole segments of the intermissions are given over to it. Like TV alcohol and cigarette ads before now, I think this will ultimately be banned.
