  1. Tonight could be the most important game of the Ovechkin era.  A win and a berth in the cup finals is almost assured, a loss and doubts could creep back into the minds of the team.  I expect a lower scoring game with both teams feeling some pressure.  I can’t wait for this one.

  2. 8-2 since making the change back to Holtby.  It’s crazy to think now that he wasn’t the starter the first two postseason games, but damn he is playing lights out at the right time.

  3. Right now it sounds like Justify may be the only horse from the derby going to Pimlico (although Good Magic is still a possibility). Has that ever happened?  If it does, what kind of odds will he have in the Preakness?  2-5 would be my guess and maybe 4-5 with Good Magic.  I don’t know how he won’t be going for the triple crown at Belmont.

  4. As a caps fan, I really hope they can finish it in 6.  As a sports fan, this series has been fantastic and deserves to go to a game 7.  The best thing about this outcome is that Tom Wilson will be back in a game 7 or in the opening game of the conference finals.

    well that didn't last long. i have picked my horse. going all-in on Enticed. please go off at 30/1.

    Well his current odds are 50-1, so the early money is definitely not favoring him.  Justify is up to 7/2, Mendelssohn 6/1, Magnum Moon 12/1, and the biggest early mover is My Boy Jack going from 30/1 morning line to 5-1 2nd choice.  Of course all this will change drastically but it is fun to look at right now.  I’m pretty settled on Mendelssohn as my pick, but I really want to see Rayya in the Oaks first.

  6. It’s curious that Nadal started beating Federer at the age of 17, and continued to do so up until last year, and the first thing some of you think is “he must have been doping”.  He is one of the players that has pushed for harder drug testing almost his entire career.  He’s simply one of the best to ever play the game and a nightmare matchup for Federer.  Next thing you will all be saying that golfers are on ped’s because they look different than the players from the previous generations.

  7. This is one of the most unusual threads I can remember.  It’s like you guys are talking about a retired great, and forgetting that he is one of the 2 best (arguably the best) players in the world right now.  It’s just strange.  

  8. Straightforward for Rafa, I’m kicking myselp for not betting on him to win the French at -130 when we were in Vegas over spring break.  I think he will lose early in one of the final clay warm ups and get some rest before Roland Garros.

    You've obviously just started watching the game. Maybe take it in for awhile before offering opinion.

    Been watching for less than most but have followed for about 5 years so I’ll go ahead and offer an opinion.  This isn’t even an issue that effected my team (they got their asses whipped).  When you play 180 minutes and both teams score the same amount, one team did not outplay the other and doesn’t deserve to advance until they, you know, actually win.  

    I get that it is used to encourage teams to go for it on the road, and makes the 2nd leg more entertaining in many instances.  That does not mean that it is not a stupid way to break a tie.

    I was just kinda joking with you but thera reason has already been stated. You want to encourage teams to play the game the right way.

    Ok my bad.  It still doesn’t make sense.  I can’t stand Madrid but if they were to somehow lose 5-2 tomorrow (not a chance in hell) they still scored the same amount of goals.
