Yes Boston were deserved winners, Thomas to be honest head and shoulders better than anyone I thought and think could be said the difference in goaltending was what won the cup. He just never faltered from start of the series to the finish.
But look at the aggregate scores, it was not even close even though the final score was 4-3, no one could argue with the final outcome. Maybe I should try not shaving until I lose my next bet though may only get the odd whisker or two lol. |

Who did you back for the cup this year Hayden? I remember you having the Bruins a couple of years ago.

Only had one speculative bet at 20/1 for Sharks to meet Caps in the final , not a market I ever get too involved with tbh and the regulation season with all it's scheduling angles e.t.c gets 99% of my business , not over keen on punting the play offs either tbh as prefer to watch and enjoy with no financial bias , did have a couple of good returns though in the latter stages by backing the home ice when 0-2 and that's a system that has and will stand the test of time.

I had Canadiens and Philli for the cup, both let me down. but I did back the seven game series which worked out perfectly. I did back each team at home for every game but game seven in which I took Boston at 7/5 at as many bookies as I could get bets on with. So I did end up with a very nice profit for the season. Now working baseball until next season starts. Hopefully will not be so busy next year and will be able to join in on this thread more. As always Hayden your insight is excellent. Hope your profits from this season treated you well. Bring on next season.

Hi guys
Only 10 days before the pre-season games commence with the opener in Florida on the 19th. Still shocked from the recent air disaster when 43 passengers were killed including 27 of the Locomotiv Yaroslav team travelling to Belarus for their opening game of the season , the total death toll was 43 with only a single player surviving. Unbelievably sad news R.I.P  |

Final word on this dreadful disaster from me
MOSCOW -- The only member of a top Russian hockey team to survive a plane crash that killed 44 people died Monday of his injuries in a Moscow hospital, a final bitter blow to all those who mourned the team's loss. The Vishnevsky hospital said 26-year-old Alexander Galimov died of the severe burns that covered about 90 percent of his body, despite the best efforts of doctors in its burn unit, considered one of the best in Russia. The crash Wednesday of a chartered Yak-42 jet outside the western city of Yaroslavl took the lives of 28 players, two coaches and seven other staff of the local Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey club. The only other person to survive, flight crew member Alexander Sizov, remained in intensive care at Moscow's Sklifosovsky hospital. Unlike many other members of Lokomotiv who were European Union citizens and once played in the NHL, Galimov was a native of Yaroslavl and a product of its youth program. His initial survival had inspired the entire city, where the team was a source of great pride. At rallies following the crash, fans chanted "Galimov, live for the whole team!" and other slogans dedicated to him. "All of Yaroslavl, all of the country, all of the world followed the doctors' words, believing, hoping, praying that he would defeat death and remain with us," Yaroslavl Gov. Sergei Vakhrukov said Monday. The governor described Galimov, a forward, as a fan favorite who remained true to his home club for many years. "He carried the team spirit of Lokomotiv and through his indomitable character often reversed the course of the most difficult games," Vakhrukov said. Russian president Dmitry Medvedev presided over a meeting Monday to decide the future of Lokomotiv Yaroslav. The team decided to pull out of the Kontinental Hockey League for a year while it rebuilds, but will bring up players from its farm system and compete in a lower league starting in December. "We can't leave the city without hockey," Vsevolod Kukushkin, an adviser to the KHL, told the Associated Press. "It's a hockey city." A memorial ceremony Saturday in the Lokomotiv ice arena drew an estimated 100,000 people, including prime minister Vladimir Putin. The crash, one of the worst aviation disasters in sports, shocked all of Russia and the international hockey community. The team was heading to Minsk, Belarus, to play its opening game of the Kontinental Hockey League season when the plane crashed into the Volga River bank shortly after takeoff and burst into flames.
