00:05 Take a look at those Stanley Cup odds that we had listed on the screen with
00:08 the Panthers, the Avalanches, and the Oilers as the favorites up top.
00:11 Now I do think the Fayetteville Sportsbook might have some accounting errors this
00:14 morning, Pete, because I don't see the Philadelphia Flyers listed in the top
00:17 ten here, rankings here to win this Stanley Cup.
00:20 Take a look at some of these teams, particularly the Rangers at 11-1,
00:23 the Jets at 13-1.
00:25 Are there any long shot additions there that you want to take a look at as
00:28 I know you like the Carolina Hurricanes.
00:30 Give us some other teams for your opinions here that could get that cup.
00:35 Sure.
00:36 I mean, I think I like the way a team like the Minnesota Wild is trending.
00:40 I don't know that they're going to win the Stanley Cup, but I kind of like them
00:44 the more that I see from them in recent games compared to all the teams to make
00:47 the playoffs in the West.
00:49 And as you know, guys, if you slide into the playoffs and you have no
00:53 expectations, you don't face that pressure, it could be a dangerous team like
00:57 the way Kaprizov's been playing lately, Joel Eriksson-Ek, they have Matt Boldy,
01:01 they have some nice rookies on that team like Brock Faber and Marco Rossi tied
01:06 with Bedard for the rookie goal lead and pretty good at even strength as well.
01:11 So I just feel like nobody's really talking about Minnesota, how they're back
01:14 in the playoff conversation.
01:17 Gets still some decent odds on them to make the playoffs this season.
01:21 And then just looking overall, I feel like that central division is a lot better
01:26 than we thought it was going to be.
01:28 And Winnipeg is another one of those teams like they're not going to face
01:31 the pressure of all these other teams out there, but they got the job done
01:35 this season.
01:36 They re-signed Connor Hellebuck, a Vezina Trophy front runner right now.
01:41 They re-signed Mark Scheifele.
01:43 They traded for Sean Monahan at the deadline.
01:46 Not a lot of people are talking about them, and I can guarantee teams like
01:49 Dallas and Colorado are not going to want to run into the Jets and their structure
01:54 under Rick Bowness this postseason.
