This is B-Sense, the Sports Betting Network.

Welcome to the Facing weekend morning line on V-SEN, the Sports Betting Network.

Well, we do not want to forget the world of hockey because even though Will Hill and I have talked a lot of NBA playoffs here today, one would argue that the greatest tournament in sports is that for the Stanley Cup.

And normally we end up getting some good hockey. We have some great moments along the

way. And joining us now, Jonathan Davis, host of Ice Cap on Sirius XM and Visan NHL betting

analysts. He's with us on the progressive guest line. Jonathan, good morning. Let's jump right

into it. Are a lot of people going to be picking the Colorado Avalanche to win the Stanley Cup?

Where do you land on Colorado in this tournament?

Well, I think they are the best team out of the West.

I mean, you know, and, you know, Captain obvious here with the team that won the president's trophy,

meaning you finish with the most points in the NHL.

And that is normally a curse.

Teams that finish first overall in the league end up crapping out in the playoffs.

But I do believe that the avalanche are a different animal.

I think, I mean, Nathan McKinnon is an animal, not their captain, but, you know, their best player.

And, you know, I remember a couple of years ago when they got eliminated by Vegas and, you know, he was asked about their struggles.

And he says, yeah, we haven't won bleep yet. And he was pretty much the same. And the following year they won the cup.

He was pretty much the same way after they lost in the first round to Dallas. I expect the avalanche to win the cup this year. And the way I would target

the avalanche winning the cup guys is take Nathan McKinnon to win the Konsmite trophy,

the playoff MVP at plus 7 to 1. How about the second game here?

Lightning minus 185 over the Canadians.

I've heard people pick the Canadians as a sleeper.
