We leave for Vegas in a matter of hours and one thing I stumbled upon while packing was the odds for the Stanley Cup winners, based upon last Summer’s forecasts. Seems that Vancouver and Boston weren’t too much of a stretch since they’re both under 15-1 against.
Meanwhile, I woke up from my mid-evening nap to discover the Bruins’ 8-1 victory. Glad to see they compensated for their two losses out West. The cooler side note was two of the goals belonging to Mark Recchi who is the only reason why I’m cheering for the Massholes. Besides being a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame, he is a little older than I am and this will be his last season. I would like to see him retire with one more championship before he hangs up his skates.
If the Bruins can keep the title games close, I may even watch them at the sports book in Treasure Island.
