And I have to wonder how short Blashill's leash is.
I wouldn't be surprised if Toronto's games ended up by a score of 7-5 most of the year.
Meanwhile, in Detroit, help us Stevie Y, you're our only hope!

@TonyMarinaro Just been told that Guy Lafleur went to get his heart checked this morning. DR told him he needs to have Quadruple Bypass Surgery. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Best of luck to my childhood idol. #TheFlower #Habs #TSN690 https://t.co/Ghqqr2MINb

I saw something I thought strange the other night. I was in Iowa with some friends and we were at one of their new sports books. I was looking at the "futures" bets for the NHL. I might not be entirely accurate on the exact odds, but the peculiarity I have right.
Colorado was +2000 (basically, 20 to 1) to win the Cup, while St. Louis was +1800 to win the cup. But then, if you looked at the futures bets to win the Western Conference, Colorado was +550 (5.5 to 1) while St. Louis was +650.
In other words, St. Louis was more favored than Colorado to win the Cup but Colorado was more favored than St. Louis to win the Western Conference.
In the east there was a similar oddity, that I think involved Philadelphia.
None of us who were there could figure it out, and the people at the sports book barely knew what the +2000 meant, so they were of no help. One of my friends speculated that maybe there was a big bet on Colorado to win the Cup, so therefore they lowered their odds on that bet to attract less money on them. Another friend guessed "typo" which given the fact that we were in Iowa seems about right, but the desk confirmed the odds. It doesn't have anything to do with the divisions they are in, since they're in the same division. It really has me puzzled.
That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

You always have to remember that sports odds are designed to attract equal money on both sides. They aren't exact predictions of the likelihood of an outcome in real life.
St Louis being the reigning champs may have a fair amount of money on them since they won the Cup. These bets are probably small money, but possibly numerous. Causal bettors are more likely to make a Cup bet over a Conference bet, so that could account for the flip.
