Trump 2024

The NHL Carolina Panthers were favored to win the Stanley Cup at the start of the current playoffs.

IOW the "polls" said they had the best chance to win it all.

The NY Rangers have now beaten Carolina 3 straight, needed only one more victory to eliminate them - the favorites.

"It ain't over till (or until) the fat lady sings"

And maybe by then the fat orangeman will be singing in Rikers men's shower. :D

The Hurricanes are our local team. Our local sports commentators were making them out as the underdog going into the series. The Rangers, winners of the Presidents' Trophy as the team with the best record in the regular season, should have been the top contender of the two teams going into the series. Yet for some reason the betting lines had the Rangers as the underdog.

The local Hurricane fans are sad now that they are one game away from elimination -- but most don't seem surprised.

The top team in the regular hockey season and then becoming the "underdogs" in the betting odds has happened before several times.

It's a strange phenomenon that has occurred in professional hockey more than any other professional sport.

Sometimes I wonder if it happens because the NHL is doing some promotion magic in the background to get the sales up quickly.

My two favorite hockey teams sucked again...didn't do anything...management sitting back and getting too fat off the past: Montreal Canadiens and the Chicago Blackhawks

I'm now supporting my backup teams: Vancouver and Edmonton. I do not care which one advances.

What polls are you talking about?
Its just sports writers opinions
Vegas based on what sports fan are thinking.

Exactly the same as current political "polls".

Let Stark Raving know voters elect on election day. Poll respondents give their opinions beforehand.

Rangers were only 3 points better than them in regular season.

2 favorites, 2 backup teams?

Come on man. :D

One team and one team only. And my team is the one I brought up NY Rangers for life.

Utter nonsense.

Vegas polls are what people think will be the outcome of a sports game.Political polls are who voters say they will vote for.

You do know Donald Trump is running for President, not Congress.

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States."
