| 0:00.0 | We're back on the early edge, and it's time to talk some Stanley Cup. |
| 0:07.9 | It's Carolina. |
| 0:08.8 | It's Vegas. |
| 0:09.6 | It's Jeff Hockman and Tom Casale. |
| 0:11.6 | We got futures to talk about, and then we're going to talk about game one. |
| 0:15.1 | And Tom, I just want to cut to the chase. |
| 0:16.9 | I want to know your correct series score prediction. Is it Carolina? And if so, in how many games? |
| 0:25.4 | It is Carolina. And I'm going to go six games. I think they win this four to two. I think this is |
| 0:30.6 | going to be a lower scoring game. Tight games. I think it's going to be competitive and entertaining. |
| 0:35.3 | Maybe you get a couple of overtime games in there. |
| 0:38.2 | And I think Vegas will steal a couple. But right now, Carolina is just too strong. They've only |
| 0:43.6 | lost one postseason game, and that's when they had a long layoff. So I like the Canes to finally |
| 0:48.7 | get over the hump and win the Stanley Cup, and I think they do it in six. |
| 0:52.6 | Jeff Hockman, the Canes in six is plus 450 at BetMGM. Do we like it? |
| 0:59.3 | Yeah, I love it. I was going to mention that, see, I'm thinking Carolina Hurricanes, |
| 1:03.3 | four to two as well, just like Tom. My model says there's a 34.6% chance. It goes to six games, |
| 1:10.1 | which feels about right. I don't think Vegas is going |
| 1:12.9 | to roll over. They've got a tough neutral zone trap. And Carter Hart, who's playing out of this |
| 1:17.7 | world, he's stopping 88% of high danger shots, which is just incredible. So I wouldn't be |
| 1:24.2 | surprised if Vegas steals a game or two, but I'm with Tom. |
| 1:29.0 | I like Carolina in six. |
| 1:31.7 | Go get it at plus 450 at FedMGM. |
