Going back to the odds discussion in this thread (or maybe the other NHL thread), Stars are favored -120 or -125 for Series odds based on 2 books I looked at. That's a bit surprising as I thought it would be around -140 or so (which is how much FL is favored over NYR). For comparison, we were favored -130 against Vegas and I think -135 against Colorado. Advanced stats love Edmonton (Moneypuck has them at 57% chance to advance) so maybe should have seen that coming. I mean even that game we won 5-0 back in early April, I'm pretty sure Moneypuck only had us at like 55% or something on the "deserve to win ometer" as I think they outshot us. I feel like we have a big depth advantage + a goalie advantage although the latter will definitely be tested. I think this extra rest is important for the D that were logging heavy minutes to get their legs back. Sure would be nice if we could start the series off winning game 1 for once.
