The idea was to test out his company’s new oddsmaking product with a small offshore operator. Better yet, they’d run the test right when sports came back from their COVID pause in July 2020. A soft launch at a lesser-known book at a strange time. Maybe any rough edges would slip under the radar of…
The Cup is in the building. Tampa Bay would like it to keep chilling there for a little while. The Lightning survived the Avalanche’s 37-shot barrage to force Game 6. Andrei Vasilevskiy brought his record in elimination games to 14-9 with six shutouts. The man is a cockroach with a blocker and paddle. But there’s…
Is the Stanley Cup Final over? Technically, no. Is it practically over? It sure is. It’s hard to envision how the Lightning, talented as they are, can win three straight against the Avalanche. Colorado is deep, relentless, and players with broken thumbs are now potting overtime winners. But we’ll do this for as long as…
Tampa Bay needed that. Andrei Vasilevskiy needed that. Colorado didn’t need it, which is good, because they didn’t get it. The Lightning went big and buried the Avalanche in Game 3 to keep their season alive. Their reward? Having to do it again so they don’t fall into a 3-1 hole. Props.com has the full…
How do you bounce back from a beatdown that savage? Tampa Bay will have to figure it out if they want any hope of winning the Stanley Cup. Coming back from an 0-3 hole to a sharp Colorado team feels more daunting than asking Lightning players to put on Rays’ uniforms and beat the Yankees…while…
Colorado was on track to romp Tampa Bay in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Then Ondrej Palat and Mikhail Sergachev of the Lightning decided that wasn’t going to happen, scoring twice in the course of 48 seconds in the second period. After a scoreless third, we got our first taste of overtime hockey…
The last time a team was on the brink of three straight Stanley Cups, the country was losing its mind over a Star Wars sequel, Tom Cruise had a Top-10 blockbuster, and rising interest rates whipsawed the economy into a recession. Wait, what? Anyway, the Lightning have the opportunity to do what no team has…
Tampa Bay finally did what only Pittsburgh could do in the very first game of the playoffs: beat the Rangers at home. Behind a 25-save night from Andrei Vasilevsky, the Lightning pushed themselves to the brink of a date with the Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Final. The two-time defending champ vs. the young, hungry…
Why do we get jazzed about the Belmont Stakes every year, even when there isn’t a Triple Crown on the line? Because it’s the race where this happened: Secretariat broke horse racing, backed up, and clip-clopped all over the shattered pieces before riding off for a wild night of sugar cubes and fillies that put…
After two games in Tampa Bay, the story on the New York Rangers in the playoffs hasn’t changed: nails in Madison Square Garden, shaky outside of midtown Manhattan. Maybe they’re secretly powered by proximity to good pizza. With a series-tying Game 4 win, the Lightning dropped New York’s road record in the playoffs to 2-7.…
The staff ace of the New York Yankees is … Nestor Cortes? New York’s apple eatin’ mustache man has been stellar this season, taking a no-no into the eighth inning three starts back against Texas, then twirling eight innings of three-hit, one-run ball two starts ago against the White Sox. It’s only in his last…
Can Epicenter win the Preakness Stakes on Saturday? Absolutely. Will Epicenter win the Preakness Stakes? It’s likely. Is Epicenter worth betting in the Preakness Stakes? Well that’s a more interesting question, but let’s just say the FDA’s dietary recommendations don’t include 8-10 servings of chalk daily. Let’s take a closer look at 2022 Preakness Stakes…
