NHL Playoffs - Starts tonight

Alright, spring is always a great time of year.  Not only does the weather start getting better but MLB baseball is now in full swing (groan, bad bun there), the Masters has just completed, the NBA Playoffs begin next week, and the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs starts tonight. Below is a quick look at vegasinsider.com odds to win the Stanley Cup : ODDS TO WIN THE 2011 NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS

Team Open  Current Vancouver 12/1  3/1 Washington 6/1  4/1 San Jose 8/1  6/1 Philadelphia 12/1  7/1 Boston 20/1  8/1 Detroit 8/1  10/1 Pittsburgh 6/1  10/1 Tampa Bay 45/1  15/1 Chicago 5/1  18/1 Anaheim 30/1  20/1 Buffalo 25/1  25/1 Los Angeles 15/1  25/1 Montreal 30/1  25/1 Nashville 40/1  30/1 N.Y. Rangers 45/1  30/1 Phoenix 35/1  30/1

Also like the Sabres +150 to win the series against the Flyers.  Flyers will be without Pronger for at least Game #1 and they just haven't been the same team for the final 15 games of the regular season - really hard to flip a switch come playoff time.

Last lean is a homer play.  Take the Canucks +180 on the Puckline (-1.5) to win by at least two and get an early jump on their series at home against the Blackhawks.

Good Luck and D$ OUT
